At about 4:20 p.m. yesterday, in Changsha Sany Industrial City, three Sany Heavy Industry engineers Dai Da'an, Zhou Xin'an and Peng Yanshou, who returned from the nuclear leakage crisis in Japan, were heroically welcomed by the company's leaders and employees. The three engineers brought back a new story - not only about "Chinese heroes", but also about "Made in China", and Sany continued to write an international legend after participating in the Chilean mine disaster.

"I should do my part in the face of disaster"

On March 11, a 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck Japan, and the ensuing nuclear leakage crisis shocked the world. On March 19, Chinese construction machinery giant Sany Heavy Industry decided to donate a 62-meter pump truck worth 1 million US dollars to Japan.

Due to their rich experience in pump truck commissioning and maintenance, Sany Heavy Industry engineers Dai Da'an, Zhou Xin'an and Peng Yanshou were jointly selected to go to Japan to carry out pump truck operation training and other related work for Japanese personnel. When the company received the notice on March 20, Dai Daan, Zhou Xin'an and Peng Yanshou were in their respective positions in Shanghai, Changsha and Vietnam.

"When the company called me to inform me that I was going to Japan, they also asked for my opinion because of my personal safety. At the time, I didn't think much about it, and I just said yes, I just felt that I should do my part in the face of disaster. Peng Yanshou said. On March 20, the 62-meter pump truck departed from Changsha Sany Industrial City and arrived at the terminal of Shanghai Port International Passenger Terminal, and was carried by COSCO Group's "Suzhou" to Osaka Port in Japan. Peng Yanshou, Zhou Xin'an, and Dai Da'an also immediately set off from Shanghai, Changsha, and Vietnam at the fastest speed, and arrived in Tokyo, Japan, on the 21st and 22nd.

The Japanese people made a special trip to the three to thank them

Zhou Xinan recalled that at that time, due to the continuous aftershocks in Tokyo and the danger of nuclear radiation, foreign personnel, including the US aircraft carrier rescue team, had basically been evacuated. In order to protect the personal safety of engineers within the *5655 limit, Sany chose to teach pump truck operation at the Noda site in Chiba Prefecture, which is 200 kilometers away from nuclear radiation. Due to the tight schedule, what would have taken about 3 months of training was condensed into 2 days. At 12:45 on March 27, after a total of about 8 days of preliminary work, the 62-meter pump truck finally arrived at the command center of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant; At 12 o'clock on March 31, the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 was officially injected with water to cool down, and after 5,656 water injections, the temperature of the reactor, which reached more than 2,000 degrees Celsius, dropped significantly.

For Sany's charity act and the outstanding performance of the three engineers, both the Japanese government and the general public are full of gratitude. On April 1, Uichiro Niwa, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to China, sent a letter to Liang Wengen, Chairman of Sany Heavy Industry, expressing gratitude to Sany for its move on behalf of the Japanese government. On April 15, when Mr. Fukuhara, an ordinary Japanese citizen, came to Changsha for a tour, he came to the headquarters of Sany Heavy Industry to express his gratitude.

Alone in the world, remote control operation of the pump truck 2 kilometers away

"What is proud is that the performance of Sany's 62-meter pump truck has been recognized by the Japanese side, and 'Made in China' has once again played a *5655 role in international rescue." Talking about the feeling of *5655 in Japan, the three engineers were full of praise for this pump truck.

It is worth mentioning that due to the advantage of the 62-meter pump truck in the field with a long boom, the Japanese side installed cameras and radiation sensors and other instruments on the fifth boom. When there is no water injection task, the pump truck will extend its boom to monitor the situation of the unit from above, assist in providing the image and radiation data of the unit, and replace aerial photography. This also guarantees the safety of Japanese staff within the limit of *5655.

Although Dai Da'an, Zhou Xin'an, and Peng Yanshou did not need to go to the site to participate in the water injection operation, they still did everything possible to reduce the damage of nuclear radiation to the Japanese operators. It is understood that at present, Sany's technology is "unique in the world".

Conquering the world, Sany has become a "Chinese business card"

In the whole process of water injection operation, Sany 62-meter pump truck played an irreplaceable role. The front-line person in charge of the Tokyo Electric Power Company highly praised the outstanding performance of the Sany pump truck, saying that it "played a very big role", and some Japanese personnel even affectionately called the Sany pump truck "big giraffe". Sany has thus become a "Chinese business card".

In the opinion of the three engineers, the reason why Sany Heavy Industry's pump truck can play an important role in the water injection of the Fukushima nuclear power unit is essentially due to its unique quality and excellent product performance. The reporter learned that the boom technology isConcrete pump truckSany currently has the world's longest 72-meter boom pump truck.
