Since the start of this year’s flood season, Inner Mongolia has experienced multiple rounds of heavy rainfall, with some areas receiving "a year's worth of rain in just three days," leading to severe flooding in many regions. At Houshai Lake, the discharge volume of the drainage channel has continued to increase, causing water levels to rise sharply.
On August 11, after receiving an equipment reinforcement notice from China Anneng First Engineering Bureau, XCMG immediately activated its emergency response plan. The XCMG Emergency Rescue Team swiftly deployed two XCMG vertical large-flow drainage and rescue vehicles and assembled multiple team members to rush to the frontlines for disaster relief efforts.
Upon arrival, the rescue team wasted no time—debugging equipment, inspecting pipelines, and laying out hoses. The XCMG GP50C and GP35C vertical drainage vehicles extended their rotating telescopic arms to submerge pumps into the water source, enabling simultaneous four-pipe drainage for continuous operation. Additionally, the XCMG PS50B pump-unit drainage vehicle joined the effort, working in tandem to maximize efficiency.
At the downstream drainage point, the XCMG team collaborated with multiple rescue forces in a round-the-clock "day-and-night" operation. During the day, they adjusted hose positions under scorching temperatures above 30°C (86°F), while at night, they endured mosquito bites while monitoring vehicle performance and reinforcing flood barriers. Despite the continuous upstream discharge, their 24/7 operation effectively prevented further rises in water levels. "Stay alert to water level changes—all personnel must wear life jackets," the command center reminded, ensuring frontline safety at all times.
With professional equipment and hands-on experience, the XCMG Emergency Rescue Team remains steadfast on the floodfighting frontlines—racing against time, battling for homes. XCMG’s rescue mission continues.
