Chapter 1031: At the bridgehead, a monument must be erected (completion sign)
The wisdom of the working people is great.

Li Feng, who was working at the construction site of Hongxing Bridge, had to admire these engineers who had changed their careers halfway through their careers in his factory.

At this time, the concrete pile foundations on both sides of the bridge site had basically been completed, but there was no crane. To be precise, there was no large-tonnage crane in Beijing.

At present, there is no Sany, no XCMG and no Zoomlion. The only crane with the largest lifting capacity is a five-ton crane modified from an old Jiefang. However, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. The extended working arm is only five or six meters at most, and it has to be close to the riverside. No one can guarantee that it will not fall into the Liangma River by accident.

Since no one dared to use them, the two main beams weighing nearly ten tons still had to reach the other side smoothly. Li Feng observed the construction on site and found that it was a cableway made of steel cables. After the steel beams arrived at the site, they were slid to the other side using this clever method.

"1~2~3, hey~!"

"1~2~3, hey~!"

Using the lifting hoist obtained from the factory, and amid slogans, they pulled one end of the sliding steel beam onto the base.

The triangular iron frame with a lifting hoist hanging on it supports the huge weight of the steel beam. The supporting feet push the cement-poured bridge piers, making a "crunching" sound that makes people's teeth ache. Fortunately, it is high-grade concrete. If it were mud, it would have sunk in long ago.

"If we're building a house in the countryside, this should be considered putting up the beam, right?"

Li Feng stood beside Chief Engineer Shen with his hands behind his back, looking at this bustling scene and said with a smile.

"When building a house in the countryside, once the beams are put up, it is basically almost finished. When building a bridge, you have to do it the other way around. Once the main steel trusses are put up, it is considered the second step~!"

Chief Engineer Shen, wearing a bamboo safety helmet, stood at the side not far from the construction site with his hands behind his back, just like Deputy Director Li. He was in a good mood as he watched the beam raising go smoothly.

"Don't we need to add support pillars in the middle of the river?"

Looking at the empty middle of the river, Li Feng imagined what the blueprint looked like in his head, and gestured with his hands in the middle of the Liangma River. He didn't know much about bridge building, but that didn't mean he had never seen it. It seemed that there were supporting piles in the middle part of the bridge, but he had never seen them on his own bridge.

"Normally, there should be one, but didn't we choose the narrow section of the river? If we chose the wide side, we would have to add one in the middle~!"

Facing Deputy Director Li's questions, Chief Engineer Shen promptly answered and resolved the confusion. This time, the technical department worked day and night to conduct technical public relations, and those who had connections also used their connections to provide technical guidance, so there was a scene of everyone chatting and laughing, and answering questions.

"The support frame under the steel truss can be regarded as the load-bearing wall of the building. After welding, it will be connected with the bridge to form a main body. Through design, the weight of the bridge body is evenly distributed to the concrete piles on both sides, which are the bridge piers~!"

"It's not the bridge that actually bears the weight, but the piles. The function of the bridge deck is to disperse the load from above and transmit it to both sides?"

Li Feng was not stupid. Based on Chief Engineer Shen's explanation and his own understanding, he learned to answer the questions quickly.

"Yes, almost. According to the standard, the bridge construction company said that it is because of the interaction between the piles and the surrounding soil!"

"When pouring the piers and piles, we deliberately protruded two meters into the river surface, which adds up to four meters on both sides. While retaining the welding position inside, we reduced the span of the bridge deck by four meters. The pier design was avoided in the middle of Liangma River, so it will not affect ships in the future!"

Listening to Chief Engineer Shen's detailed explanation, Li Feng nodded slowly, indicating his approval. It was like a layman leading the experts. He was unsure, but Li Feng did not want to interfere without authorization. He nodded and spoke slowly.

"Redundancy must be fully considered. This is the first bridge designed and built by our factory. Not to mention a century-old foundation, I require a minimum service life of 40 years. No sloppiness is allowed. A monument will be erected at the end of the bridge, and your name as the designer will be engraved on it~!"

It would have been better if Li Feng hadn't mentioned it. After he mentioned it, Chief Engineer Shen beside him seemed to become even more excited, with his eyes shining. It seemed that being able to leave his name somewhere in the capital was like a shot of chicken blood.

"That's great, Deputy Director Li. Whether it's the load capacity of the bridge or its design life, our design department has set the highest standards, far exceeding the data on paper. If only my name is left on this Red Star Bridge, I would be unworthy of it~!"

It was impossible to worry. Shen, the chief engineer, had also used his connections to get the blueprints and other materials from professionals. Li Feng wanted to erect a monument for the bridge, which was exactly what he wanted. Since he dared to take the job, he was not afraid. What he was afraid of was that Li Feng would take all the fame. After all, it was him, the deputy director, who proposed to build the bridge, but according to Li Feng's usual character, he was not the kind of person who would eat alone.

When Chief Engineer Shen suggested to keep his name alone, Li Feng smiled but did not respond. He would certainly not steal the limelight. Chief Engineer Shen led the team in designing, so what belonged to them was theirs. However, those who worked on site, especially those in charge of welding, had to be credited.

Design and construction, design and construction, both groups of people are indispensable on the monument. When it comes to welders at level seven or eight, they work so hard, what are they looking for but a reputation.

Now is different from the past. In this money-oriented society, everything is about money. Fame is not important. The money comes first.

At present, if we really want to erect a monument for them at the bridge head and put their names on it, that will be something they can brag about in the future. With evidence, they will work hard, and the Red Star Bridge will accompany them throughout their lives.

What is the monument? In Li Feng's eyes, it is a project sign made by the construction unit when the construction is completed.

There are no such requirements in this era. Others regard it as a monument of merit, but in Li Feng's eyes, it is a completion sign that plays a role in ensuring the quality and safety of the project.

"Let's compile a list of the names of the main construction workers and ask the stone material factory to order a merit stele. Who in our factory is good at calligraphy? Let him write the inscription~?"

"Qu Hongsheng is good, Li Xuewen is also OK, both graduated from Huaqing University, one is good at running script and the other is good at regular script, both of them are photogenic~!"

Seeing that Li Feng was serious and not at all nervous, Chief Engineer Shen touched his belly and directly reported his name. His eyes narrowed into slits, as if he saw himself standing in front of the monument to take pictures after the bridge was repaired.

"Then let Li Xuewen write it. Secretary Wang, go back and finalize this matter~!"

"Okay~!"

As two steel beams weighing nearly ten tons fell into the remaining grooves of the pile foundation, supporting beams several meters long were sent to the predetermined positions. After adjustment, welding work began.

At this time, Li Feng moved a little closer. The sparks during welding were a bit dazzling, and it could be seen that the temperature was very high. After the first welding rod was finished, he couldn't wait to go forward to watch.

As expected of a master welder, the welding spot, which is still orange and has not cooled down, looks like saw teeth, interlaced with each other and fits tightly together. After cooling down, it looks quite nice.

"Hey, this steel is interesting. I'll change to a DC welding machine and use 507 welding rods. I want to see who is tougher today~!"

In Li Feng's opinion, the weld might be okay, but in the eyes of the old welder, it is probably just so-so and cannot represent his own level. He is only an eighth-level worker, and it is a bridge. If the weld comes undone in the future, his colleagues will laugh at him.

There is still some ethics, this is the standard that the old master sets for himself. Welding a workpiece in the factory is nothing, if it is a little complicated, it will just take time. The bridge is something that is made to show the skills of peers.

Simply put, the tsundere masters choose not to be ordinary, and they show off their skills to demonstrate their true level.

"Okay, this is the first bridge in the factory, so the masters must make it well. As the saying goes, scholars make friends through literature, and knights judge heroes through martial arts. We welders should show our best skills and judge the quality of welds. At the end of the project, the factory will give out a bonus of 1,000 yuan. Whoever has the best welding skills will have his name put first on the monument of merit at the bridgehead!"

"Don't hide your abilities. If you have the ability, show it. In the future, the factory will build more bridges. Whoever has the greatest ability will be in charge of the team. You will definitely get a bonus and will also be included in the year-end performance appraisal!"

At the construction site, the atmosphere is even more lively now. They are all experienced workers, and stimulated by the bonuses and honors, each of them seems to have a new year.

Li Feng has no other skills, but he has the ability to motivate. If the design department is whipped, the construction department will also be whipped. What is this called? Supervision by the leadership.

Until he saw the convoy returning to the city, the smile on Li Feng's face gradually disappeared.
