Story of an electrician after storm No. 3 (Yagi)

The storm passed through Quang Ninh for just over a day but left behind huge consequences, with trees broken, houses devastated, and power outages and signal outages everywhere.

Having a quick bite of rice, Mr. Tran Huy, a General Electrical Management Worker, belonging to Management Team No. 6, Ha Long Power Company, and his colleagues prepared equipment and arrived quickly at several locations where power towers and wires were broken.

Handling failures on stormy days is potentially dangerous, so power workers always follow safety rules when working at heights.

This is just one of hundreds of difficulties and hardships that Quang Ninh Power Company (Quang Ninh PC) electricians and reinforcements are going through. They are diligent, and tireless, working without eating or sleeping, regardless of the weather to join hands to restore the Quanh Ninh province's power grid as quickly as possible.

Join hands, join forces, join hearts

As a province located in the eye of the storm, the power grid system in Quang Ninh was almost paralyzed when the storm left, with the spirit of solidarity, more than 1,000 supporting personnel inside and outside the Power sector from other provinces/cities were present to coordinate with Quang Ninh PC to fix the power grid problem.

Mr. Ngo Quang Trung - Deputy Head of the Safety Engineering Department of Quang Ninh High Voltage Power Grid Enterprise, is still grateful for the enthusiastic support of Mao Khe Coal Company when providing support from people, vehicles food for the construction force to fix the broken power tower in Dong Trieu town.

In the spirit of sharing difficulties and joining hands to restore the power grid as quickly as possible, cranes with license plates from other provinces still rushed in the rain to the points that needed support, closely coordinating with functional forces to quickly handle any incidents that arose, from restoring damaged power systems to ensuring smooth traffic.
