Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Since we've had a lot of on-site work lately, the amount of casing we're dealing with is insane.
The amount of casing alone for this project exceeds 5 million...
You can actually buy a machine with consumables...
Well, I guess I can't do my job without this, so it can't be helped, but being an anchor operator these days is a lot tougher than it used to be.
The initial investment is high, and the rising costs of machine parts and steel are being passed on to the unit price.
Furthermore, mechanical parts and semi-finished products are no longer manufactured in Japan and are almost entirely produced overseas (in China).
And that overseas factory is currently closed (because of the COVID-19 situation).
And just the other day, I got a message from the equipment manufacturer saying that *that thing*—which was supposed to be delivered this spring—is going to be delayed, lol.
I had a feeling that might be the case...
Since there's nothing I can do about it, I'll just have to grin and bear it lol
China, hang in there! (加油)
Keep it up!
Let's work hard together!
Today is a holiday for most people, but I’m hard at work drawing up a temporary construction plan based on the construction plan.
Once I turn this in, I'll be heading out on a business trip to Kagoshima starting tomorrow.
See you later.
