※ This video is from <Extreme Job - Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Plant> broadcast on January 7, 2010. Feels like -20 degrees Celsius! People fight a daily battle against the ice-cold steel structures against the bone-chilling sea breeze. Installing megaton-level equipment weighing over 100 tons and working on the 12th floor of an apartment building forces people into extreme situations... However, they have no fear in front of these people who are trying to tame even nature. People who are creating the miracle of Sihwa Lake. Let's visit the construction site of Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Plant. The world's largest tidal power plant, 12 times the size of a soccer field, and the first tidal power plant in Korea The world's largest tidal power plant is being built in Sihwa District, Gyeonggi Province. The tidal power plant, which has been under construction for 5 years, is currently 75% complete. It is scheduled to be completed by the end of next year and will produce enough electricity for 500,000 people. A huge construction site that requires digging 20m under the sea and installing generators and sluice gates. A total of 10 generators will be installed in the power plant. Each generator is 34.5m high, equivalent to a 12-story apartment building. A site without even a roof to block the minimal wind. Let’s meet the people who fought against the biting cold and created the miracle of Sihwa Lake. Feels like 20 degrees Celsius, a war against the sea wind It snowed last night. Snow piled up on the site without even a roof, and people started clearing the snow as soon as they got to work. They had to clear it quickly because if the snow melted and water formed on the generator parts, it would rust. However, the sea wind blew even fiercer, and even though they were fully armed from head to toe, their whole body was frozen as if paralyzed. People who were removing rust from the parts by hand despite the pain that felt like their hands would break. The feels like the temperature had already exceeded 20 degrees Celsius, and they worked with only their mental strength. Let’s visit their hot site where they fought against the cold. The core device of the generator! Installing the turbine People cleaning the turbine shaft, which is the pillar of the generator. They clean the turbines of impurities with a cloth soaked in chemicals... The strong smell of chemicals makes you cough and makes you dizzy. Those who touch the sides with their bare hands. They have to remove them one by one by relying on their sense of touch, as even small protrusions like dust cannot be there. After all the cleaning is done, the turbine shaft slowly descends to the generator entrance. It has to turn 90 degrees right away... A precarious situation occurs where it seems like it will hit the generator... They are holding the rope with manpower so that the turbine shaft does not move. At that moment, a 'ding' sound is heard... For a moment, people's faces become stiff. What happened? Art without a blueprint, curved scaffolding installation The only scaffolding in architecture that does not have a blueprint. It is made one by one according to the situation, only based on experience. Sometimes, the scaffolding installation is like a stunt, and the sight of it freely passing over a thin pipe reminds me of a balance beam stunt... ... The workshop has already become night. They have to finish it all night for tomorrow's work. In the continuing cold, the work of connecting the rebars one by one. In particular, the fear of falling is a fear that scaffolders cannot shake off for their entire lives. Although they are physically and mentally exhausted from long hours of work, they draw without a blueprint... with the pride of literally doing art, they silently create something out of nothing today as well. - The day of installing the flow control device, a megaton-class facility weighing over 100 tons. The flow control device weighs as much as 50 cars. In order to support this weight, two cranes, a 150-ton gantry crane and an overhead crane, must be mobilized. The flow control device rises into the sky, showing off its enormous majesty like a spaceship. They have to carefully move the flow control device, which looks dangerous, as if they were handling a child. The workers are tense. All their nerves are focused on the flow control device, and the heavy weight pushes a person's body, so there are dizzying moments when it seems like they might fall at any moment. Will they be able to safely install the flow control device? People who created the miracle of Sihwa Lake Five years of waiting. With the sweat and hands of countless people, the finish line is now near. People who challenged the great nature and embraced it. These people who created a miracle in Sihwa Lake, which was called the lake of death. Their 2010 will be more special than ever as they face the biggest project of their lives. ✔ Program name: Extreme Job - Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Plant ✔ Broadcast date: 2010.01.07 #GolladunDocumentary #ExtremeJob #Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Plant #Construction Site
