I'm always thinking about work. Always ON | Owner of a Slope Construction Company

2020/02/14

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Today is our last day in Kagoshima.

The other day, I made some progress on my plans—or should I say, my work?—and got things organized.

My time in Kagoshima flew by.

I drank too much last night, so I'm feeling a little queasy today lol

 

Today, I plan to visit a certain place in Miyazaki from Kagoshima City and then head to the airport.

I'm scheduled to visit the general contractor in Kagoshima City who contacted me, so today is another hectic day.

 

Since a junior from Iwakura City is coming along, we're planning to do a little sightseeing as well, but,

No matter where I go, I can't help but look at the slopes.

I can't help but look at the rocks.

The Turtle Stone of the Dragon Palace

A rock like this that I saw at Kagoshima Jingu.

It said "Turtle Stone of the Dragon Palace."

Is this a rock I brought back from some ocean or something??

Or something like that...

Shale

I looked at how weathered the boulders lying around there were.

I find myself thinking, “I wish I’d brought my rock-testing hammer.”

From dawn till dusk, I was a dedicated slope worker, lol.

I'm really concerned about the soil and rock conditions.

I'm in Kagoshima, thinking I really need to study more.

 

See you later.

Since I needed them on the job, I built two iPhone apps myself.

Hello, this is Director Jou. I provide on-site support for civil engineering projects in Hyogo while sharing content on YouTube about the use of ICT at construction sites. This time, rather than discussing construction methods or equipment, this is more of a record of my desperate attempts. There was something I really wanted on site, but I couldn’t find it anywhere…

The Correct Way to Install Formwork Is Level (Horizontal) | Why Aligning It with the Road Grade Will Make Reinforcement Installation a Nightmare

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving on the highway, I can’t help but keep looking at the road embankments—it’s an occupational hazard, isn’t it? lol The other day, while I was on the road, I saw a retaining wall that sloped diagonally to match the road’s gradient. Just as I thought, “Oh, that’s to match the gradient,” I also wondered, “What if there were rebar installers working on this…”

What Is Set Loss? | How Tension Stabilization of Ground Anchors Reduces Load and On-Site Countermeasures

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Young engineers often ask me, “Is set loss really necessary?” Come to think of it, even though the term “set loss” is thrown around all the time on job sites, there are actually a lot of people who’ve never had it properly explained to them. Back in the day, when I was installing ground anchors…

What Is the Moldam Method? An Explanation for the General Public, from a Field Perspective, of a Stone Masonry Adhesive Reinforcement Method That Reinforces Masonry “From the Inside”

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving down country roads, I often see old retaining walls made of cobblestones, don’t I? Some of them are even arched outwards, and I find myself staring at them every time, wondering, “Is this really going to hold up?” lol. Those stone walls that our ancestors built one stone at a time really do make for a nice view…

Enta Goes to Mongolia! Part 4 | Traffic Jams in Ulaanbaatar, a Thermal Power Plant, and a City Full of Priuses

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Day 3 in Mongolia flew by, and now it’s Day 4. Today, we’ll leave the ger where we stayed around 9:00 a.m. and head back to Ulaanbaatar. My trip to Mongolia is nearing its end. I’ve seen the grasslands, gers, camels, horses, and giant boulders, but what awaited me at the very end was…
