Why Coaches Change So Often
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I drank some strong highballs—9% ABV. Two 500ml cans! That really got to me lol. Everyone, be careful lol. I heard that a site supervisor I know got scolded by the general contractor. That job site has already gone through three different supervisors…
What exactly is an on-site adjustment to the mix in spray-applied concrete work?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s November already!!! Only two months left in the year! Let’s give it our all at work ^^ But enough of that. In this post, I’d like to write a bit about adjusting the mix ratio for spray-applied coatings. You know how they adjust the mix ratio on-site at spray-coating jobs, right? &…
How to Pour Cement Slurry Quickly and Accurately on a Sloping Mountain!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When the cement slurry doesn’t rise during rebar insertion, what do you do? I don’t think many of you just keep pouring the cement slurry without doing anything. After all, you want to get it up as quickly as possible! lol So, what do you do…?
I Tried Measuring Positioning Errors in Drainage Boring Work!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s gotten quite a bit cooler in the shade. But air-conditioned workwear is the best this time of year! The real benefit of air-conditioned workwear is how it handles the lingering summer heat, lol. It makes the lingering summer heat feel like autumn all at once, so you can get your work done comfortably. But anyway… Since last week, I’ve been working on draining the water…
How to Take Photos as a Site Supervisor (Part 2)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s been a while since it last rained, hasn’t it? Every time it rains, the temperature drops a little bit... It’s starting to feel like a nice season, isn’t it? ^^ But anyway... Since my previous post on photography techniques was well-received (by a very small number of people, lol), I thought I’d write about the absolute basics of photo management...
Project management during the rainy season is difficult
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The rain is causing major delays on our site. How are things going on your sites? This tends to happen with any project that involves earthwork, doesn’t it? When it comes to earthwork on slopes, you often have to resort to single-cut excavation, but if you dig carelessly on a rainy day, it could lead to a collapse…
Reinforcement Installer: How many anchors need to be installed!?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I received a question on my Ameblo blog the other day, so I thought I’d answer it here. “The local government asked me, ‘What’s the basis for requiring 30 or more anchors per 100 square meters?’ I’ve asked my senior colleagues and searched online, but I can’t even find a single reference… I’ve been looking into it from various angles, but…”
Voluntary Temporary Housing and Designated Temporary Housing (Part 2)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Picking up where I left off the other day, I’ll be covering designated temporary structures—as opposed to voluntary temporary structures—this time. Since they’re called “designated,” they’re obviously designated by the local government, but what exactly is designated? Basically, everything, lol. Everything—from the design to the specifications—is specified by the local government. Well, usually it’s written in the construction plans…
Voluntary Temporary Housing and Designated Temporary Housing (Part 1)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been getting a bit nervous lately because I’ve been showing up on Google News a lot, but I guess that’s just part of the job when you’re sharing information, huh? ^^ I’d like to write about “voluntary temporary housing” and “designated temporary housing.” To put it simply, it’s just a matter of whether it’s voluntary or designated…
