Method for Calculating Construction Length Based on the Amount of Cement Used in Sprayed Concrete Work
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today, we’ll be covering quantity calculations for formwork. The other day, I wondered if I should start by explaining the basic method for calculating cement quantities, so this time I’ll walk you through how to calculate materials for basic formwork. First, the basic premise: the formwork cross-section…
Given how hot it is, I think we should make sure to fully account for the costs associated with summer construction in our cost estimates.
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The hot weather just keeps on going! It’s seriously hellish during the day when even air-conditioned clothing doesn’t help. I can’t stand it. Are you eating those heatstroke-prevention jellies while you’re sweating buckets? These are seriously delicious, lol. As for the portable snacks I’ve used for heatstroke prevention so far…
Reflections on Measures to Prevent Slope Collapse Accidents
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’d like to write about some countermeasures based on my recent article. Let’s consider a landslide accident on a slope. When it comes to measures against secondary disasters at a disaster site, there’s actually not much to do. That’s because the mountain is already sliding—so there’s not much…
Let's Consider a Slope Collapse Accident
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It seems there was a slope collapse the other day. From the video, it looks like the collapse started at the top of the slope. Unfortunately, it seems some people were affected, so I hope they take proper precautions. Could this disaster have been prevented? Well…
When dealing with problems, be sure to think things through carefully, keeping the subsequent processes in mind!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. How do you handle unexpected problems that arise on-site? Do you tend to respond immediately to whatever you see right then and there? While it’s good to be able to handle simple issues on the spot, there are problems that might become issues later on…
What should you do when the blueprint says “reverse-wrap installation,” but it seems like you don’t actually need to do it?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Initially, the blueprints specify “counter-rotation construction” in the margin. However, what if, when you actually start cutting, you find that the soil conditions are better than expected and it looks like you’ll be able to cut normally? What would you do? Generally speaking, you’d decide how to proceed based on the situation on-site, consult with the local authorities, and…
People who are making plans are actually feeling anxious.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you getting organized for work? When it comes to work, we all need to get organized (prepare), and we usually take care of our own preparations, right? But as you get a little older, you start having to organize things for your own team and for the entire department, don’t you?…
Talking About the Costs of Inverse-Winding Construction
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you all busy? Things are kind of slow here, lol. It seems busy, but it’s not really that hectic—it just feels like we’re keeping things moving for now. Well, in the meantime, we’re steadily moving forward with our private-sector construction projects. As for this “leveling out” that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has been talking about for a while now…
A Battle Between Nature and the Slope-Construction Company?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Here’s a photo of a collapse at a rebar insertion work site. The mortar has come loose, and the rebar insertion work is being pulled downward. The design anticipated a surface collapse and called for a combination of mortar and rebar insertion work. The collapse occurred deeper within the structure. It collapsed after it rained…
