China Power Construction Engineering Corporation rushed to support the earthquake relief work in Baqing, Tibet, and transported 40 sets of prefabricated houses and 100 sets of heaters

China News Service, Lhasa, October 23 (Baima Yuzhen) At 22:33 on October 22, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake occurred in Baqing County, Nagqu City, Tibet Autonomous Region, with a focal depth of 10 kilometers, causing heavy casualties. The average altitude of the earthquake area is close to 4,800 meters, and the night temperature is low. People's resettlement and cold protection have become one of the most urgent livelihood tasks after the earthquake.

It is understood that PowerChina Chengdu Survey, Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "PowerChina Chengdu Institute") quickly launched an emergency response, urgently deployed earthquake relief materials, and organized a transport fleet to rush to Baqing County. The materials transported this time are mainly silver metal plate components and electric heaters. There are a total of 40 sets of prefabricated houses and 100 sets of heaters. They are mainly used for the construction of prefabricated houses for transitional resettlement in disaster areas and for the heating of people. All panels are stacked in layers on a flatbed trailer and fully reinforced with ropes to ensure safety during long-distance transportation.

In view of the actual conditions of Nagqu City such as high altitude, changeable climate and complex road conditions, the transportation team set off according to the established route after completing material inventory and vehicle safety inspection. After the materials arrive in Baqing County, they will be handed over to the local earthquake relief command department for unified dispatch and distribution, focusing on ensuring the temporary transitional resettlement needs of the disaster-stricken people.

In synchronization with the China Electric Power Construction Institute's material fleet, there were also three house safety technical appraisal experts dispatched by the institute. They will cooperate with the local area to conduct post-earthquake housing safety assessments and provide technical support for people's resettlement and post-disaster recovery.

It is reported that the China Electric Power Construction Institute stated that it will leverage its 70 years of experience in entering and building Tibet, continue to follow up on the progress of material transportation, and maintain communication with relevant departments in the disaster area. It will coordinate and coordinate further support work based on the actual needs of the disaster.
