WAU, South Sudan, April 12 (Chinamil) -- Ten new type watchtowers built by the 8th Chinese peacekeeping engineer detachment to South Sudan (Wau) for were put into use at the camp zone of the peacekeeping forces of the Sector West of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) in Wau on Tuesday.

4月10日,我第八批赴南苏丹瓦乌维和工兵部队为联南苏团搭建的新式岗楼交付使用,有效提高了南苏丹(瓦乌)“UN”城哨兵安全防卫能力。

The old watchtowers with a small space, low eaves and poor defense had been used for more than ten years. In order to improve the security and defense capability of the peacekeeping forces' camp as soon as possible, the Chinese peacekeeping engineers completed the construction of all the 10 new watchtowers in less than one month.

联合国“UN”城内旧式岗楼空间小、屋檐低、防护结构薄弱,经过十多年的日晒雨淋早已破烂不堪,防护能力严重降低。为使旧式岗楼尽快改造升级,中国工兵经过20多天连续奋战重新搭建了全部10间岗楼。

The new type watchtower built by stacking two layers of containers is 8 meters high, 4 meters long and 4 meters wide with welded stairs and handrails and a metal sheet roof on the top. The protective cover in the watchtower consists of net cages filled with red clay.

新式岗楼采用两层集装箱堆叠,焊接楼梯与扶手,顶部搭建铁皮板屋檐,高8米,长4米,宽4米。 防护掩体由装满红土的网箱组成,不仅为哨兵提供广阔的观察视野,还可提供可靠的火力防护。

The "Chinese Quality" and "Chinese Standard" demonstrated by the Chinese engineers in the construction of the new watchtower once again won praises of the UNMISS.

自受领任务以来,“中国质量”“中国标准”再次受到了南联苏团的高度称赞。

Since the deployment to the mission area at the end of September last year, the 8th Chinese peacekeeping engineer detachment has completed multiple tasks including the 218 km Kuacjok-Wau-Tonj main-supply route (MSR) maintenance project.

据了解,该维和大队去年9月底部署任务区以来,为“阿加夸克至穆乌鲁补给线”铺设道路近500余公里。
