"Who can follow me? I have nothing, no money, no people."
When it comes to finding a wife, Cui Wanshan, who is in his thirties, is still a little embarrassed.
"Haha, it's okay. With you here, we can work together. Even if we don't make a lot, we'll definitely earn enough to support ourselves and get married."
"Okay then, you'll have to look after your older brother from now on."
"Haha, we'll take care of each other, we'll take care of each other. There's no such thing as a brother or sister between us."
They both burst into laughter.
"Come on, finish the wine in the pot and rest. You have more experience than me with hunting, so help us think about how to prepare. The water pipes we're laying here will be used for water supply tomorrow, and we don't know if it will go smoothly. There might be a lot of problems then. I don't think that construction team is professional. These days, it's hard to find a professional."
"Take it slow, good things come to those who wait."
Cui Wanshan took the wine pot and clinked it against Wang Tianxiao's; the wine pots collided.
.
The next morning, Wang Tianxiao arrived at the foot of the mountain.
When I arrived, the engineer in charge of construction and the project manager were also there.
Although it's a sunny day today, it's still winter, and the temperature was even lower this morning, probably around minus ten degrees Celsius.
Everyone was wearing coats, cotton hats, masks, and goggles, but their eyelashes were still exposed, covered with a thin layer of white frost.
Although it was cold, everyone's hearts were warm.
Not only for Wang Tianxiao, but also for these construction workers, this kind of project of transporting water from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain was something they had never done before.
First, water was drilled at the bottom of the mountain. Then, a reservoir with a capacity of about fifty cubic meters was built next to the well. Water was pumped to a secondary reservoir built on a flat area seventy meters above the mountain.
Then the water is sent from the secondary reservoir to the tertiary and quaternary reservoirs.
The reservoir on the east side of the station is a fourth-level reservoir.
Although the water pumps they bought could reach a head of 100 meters, Wang Tianxiao felt it was better to be conservative when discussing with the engineers, assuming that each pump could only deliver water up to 70 or 80 meters in actual operation.
That's how these kinds of projects are; generally, the design can only utilize 80% of their load.
Don't listen to what the manufacturers say; the power they usually give is not the maximum power, and there is often a margin of 10% to 20%.
In reality, the so-called remaining space can be large or small, and is not stable at all.
If we follow that setup, we won't be able to handle any problems that arise.
Wang Tianxiao has such a steady and reliable personality.
He always leaves himself a way out in everything he does, and he never goes to extremes.
"Mr. Wang, when do you think we should test the waters?"
The engineer in charge is surnamed Xu.
Everyone calls him Engineer Xu.
Wang Tianxiao stood beside the water pump, watching the water pipe go all the way up to a circular pool halfway up the mountain.
Following his advice, strict insulation measures have been taken.
Where pipes connect, and at bends, double-layer reinforcement should be applied.
Such a massive flow of traffic and pressure is no joke.
"Wait a minute, you guys come with me to check the pipes again from the beginning to make sure there are no problems before we start adding water. Check a section of the pipes, then we'll add water to that section. We're not rushing this time. Let's do things thoroughly, check everything properly, and then we can test it later."
"Actually, we checked it three times."
“I know you are all very responsible, but you are all looking at it from an engineering perspective. Perhaps your vision is limited and you haven’t seen some problems. I will go through it again. If there are no problems, that would be great. If there are problems, we can fix them before the water is turned on. If water gets in, it will not be a simple matter to weld again.”
"Yes, yes, what Boss Wang said makes a lot of sense."
"Let's start with the pump house then."
"good."
Engineer Xu and several engineers led Wang Tianxiao down to the pump room.
The pump room is a room dug underground, which houses three huge water pumps. The pipes connecting the pumps are also very thick, with an estimated diameter of at least fifteen centimeters.
"Mr. Wang, as you suggested, we have adopted a configuration of two pumps in use and one as a backup, for a total of three pumps. These pumps are all very suitable for water transportation, with high power and stable operation."
"Why is this valve a gate valve?"
Wang Tianxiao pointed to the outlet valve of the water pump and asked in surprise.
"We've always used gate valves, is there a problem?"
Wang Tianxiao was speechless; he almost wanted to jump up and yell at people.
"If you use a shut-off valve, that's not impossible, but then you'll need to install a check valve. Look at this pipe, it's so thick, and the water volume is so large. If the pump loses pressure, all the water will back up. Can your valve hold that back?"
"this……"
"This and that, isn't this just the most basic knowledge?"
Wang Tianxiao was speechless again.
Mr. Xu realized the problem at this point and felt a little embarrassed. Actually, it couldn't be blamed on them. They were just construction workers. They didn't design the project; they were just building according to the drawings.
They just buy materials according to the blueprints and then carry out the construction.
But it's not appropriate to tell Wang Tianxiao about this.
Engineer Xu also knew that in Wang Tianxiao's eyes, no matter what the design and construction were, they were all part of the construction team anyway.
It has nothing to do with the client.
"This was a mistake in our work, and we will address it immediately."
"How do you plan to solve this? The pipelines are already installed, how can we fit such a large check valve in?"
