Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Today, I'm in Kagoshima again.
It seems that in recent Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism projects, when the general contractor awards a contract to a first-tier subcontractor, the general contractor conducts an acceptance inspection of the subcontractor’s work.
So, today, as a first-tier subcontractor, I had the general contractor inspect the work and accept it lol.

Well, since everyone knows the director, the inspection goes by in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, the temperature was high enough to make you sweat, and the weather was great—it was absolutely perfect.
But wait—the general contractor is supposed to inspect the work of the first-tier subcontractor???
That's what I thought, because the general contractor and the subcontractor are working together on the construction.
So, the construction project moves forward and is completed after dealing with on-site issues, finding creative solutions, and handling all sorts of other matters, right?
Don't you find yourself thinking, "Are they going to test that again??" or "Huh??"
I understand that, from the government’s perspective, it’s better to receive documents that are free of errors, so it’s best to double-check them several times.
But do we really need that??
The general contractor and the first-tier subcontractor are like two peas in a pod (lol).
If we're going to do it anyway, we should probably have a separate third party handle it.
Of course, there are bound to be all sorts of problems when a third party gets involved, though.
A third party will inspect the general contractor and the first-tier subcontractors. It seems like it would be worth the cost.
If doing things differently from other companies leads to positive evaluations, then it’s worth doing.
Whether you succeed or fail, the real problem is not taking on the challenge.
I’d like our company to be one that can take on all kinds of challenges.
By the way, I got some really great ideas at this job site!
Since we received permission to use it as long as it isn't used in the Kyushu region, we'll give it a try in the Tokai region.
It's a secret for now, though (lol)
But Kagoshima is hot! Summer was already peeking out!! lol
Tonight, I'm going to enjoy Tenmonkan to the fullest.

That said, I have to rush back to Nagoya first thing tomorrow morning (´;ω;`)
See you later.




I'm all for it! I'm all for having a third party conduct the inspection! Also, isn't it wrong to take (pack) the compressive strength test specimens using a mold can?
Thank you for your hard work.
Regarding the compressive strength test, taking samples from the mold can be done as long as we receive approval from the relevant government agency following consultation, but
Otherwise, that would be a problem.
Basically, I doubt they'll ever give permission, lol.
The other day, at a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism construction site, I saw a site where, following discussions, samples were being collected using a net mold rather than core sampling.
It wasn't just because it was easy, was it?
