On June 19, the “2020 Chongqing Comprehensive Emergency Drill for Flood Disaster” was held in Fuling. The pontoon bridge manufactured by China Harzone participated in the drill.
The background of the drill was set as a flash flood and sudden rise of river water due to heavy rainfall in the Wujiang River Basin, which caused a series of emergency situations such as the seepage of Shuangshiqiao Reservoir and the trapping of 14 people in isolated islands in the river. The drill simulated several emergency scenarios such as Quake lake rescue, flood control and flood discharge, water rescue and emergency evacuation. In the rescue process of Quake Lake, due to the fact that the weight of bridge entering the Quake Lake was limited to 35 tons, the large rescue equipment could not pass through, so the pontoon bridge was used to transport the large rescue equipment to the scene. At that time, the advantages of the pontoon bridge, such as high mobility efficiency, strong carrying capacity, safety and reliability, were fully manifested, attracting wide attention.
