Before storm No. 3, the leaders of the Vietnam National Coal and Mineral Industries Group (TKV) directed its member units to prepare all plans and measures to proactively respond to natural disasters at the highest level. However, storm No. 3 had a very heavy impact on coal industry units, causing production disruptions in most units.
With a spirit of close direction, on September 11, Mr. Ngo Hoang Ngan, Party Committee Secretary, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Group, and the senior leadership delegation of TKV inspected the progress of overcoming the impact of storm No. 3 at the units of the Uong Bi and Hon Gai coal regions.
According to reports from units, storm No. 3 caused a national power grid outage; disrupted communications; severely damaged facilities, factories, equipment systems, and essential machinery serving production. Areas planted with trees, ornamental plants, and plants for environmental restoration at the quarry and mine waste dump were broken and destroyed over a very large area.
In both coal regions, one of the biggest difficulties at present is the lack of national grid power to serve production, especially to meet the requirements of mine drainage pumping. To maintain the operation of the pumping pits, mines that have not been re-connected to the grid such as Mao Khe Coal Company, Uong Bi, Vang Danh, Hon Gai, Nui Beo, Ha Lam all use large capacity generator systems.
Directing the work of overcoming the impact of storm No. 3 and the post-storm circulation at the units, Mr. Ngo Hoang Ngan, Party Secretary, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Group, requested the heads of the units to be on duty at the mine to directly handle equipment incidents. The Group will dispatch leaders and specialized departments to be on duty, directly commanding the work of handling equipment incidents at Vang Danh mine, making efforts to restore the capacity of the drainage pumping system as soon as possible. Underground mines urgently strengthen the capacity of generators, check the status of water-blocking sluice gates, drainage systems in the mine, and organize drills to prevent mine flooding. The Chairman of the Board of Directors directed that, by all means, the units must protect the safety of the pumping pit and power station, which is considered the heart of the mine.
Along with encouraging and strengthening the spirit of overcoming difficulties and promptly overcoming the effects of storm No. 3 and the post-storm circulation at the units, the Group's leaders also directed the mines to support human resources, vehicles, and equipment with local authorities and the electricity industry in environmental sanitation and restoring the power grid. The trade union organization reviewed and counted the families of the Group's workers who suffered damage due to storm No. 3, and quickly provided support to help workers stabilize their lives.
With the greatest effort, by September 11, in the Uong Bi coal area, Nam Mau Coal Company started producing coal with an estimated output of 1,000 tons per shift. Other underground units in the two areas also organized labor to consolidate and clear the tunnel system, measure gas and wind, and ensure safety immediately after coal production activities were restored.
