Hello, everyone

This is Enta.

They're conducting ground anchor installation tests right here.

It's something you don't get to experience very often, and it's really hard work, but I'm tying everything together with PP rope.

I'm sure you can guess why—if I drop it, it's game over lol

 

That's why I use PP rope for everything—from my personal belongings to my tools.

It's a way to adapt to working in this kind of environment.

We recently installed ground anchors at a site like this, and the biggest challenge was the tension test!

Normally, we conduct verification tests and suitability tests to monitor the elongation of the tendon (anchor body length).

But we're out on the ocean here!

 

All of the scaffolding is made from sheet piles, and all of the pieces are connected.

I can't get a fixed point.

How should you handle situations like this?

That’s the situation, but this time I explained to the government office that I couldn’t do it because there was simply no way to make it happen, so I wouldn’t be doing it.

It's because I don't want to pretend I did something I simply couldn't do.

We avoided this because managing things this way would cause problems for the company that ends up getting the next order.

 

Actually, I only measure the jack’s cylinder stroke to verify the numbers, but,

I wonder if this is right??? lol

 

This happens a lot on site: people pretend they can do something they actually can't, then take a photo...

Sometimes they make it look as if they're in charge.

I’m generally opposed to that sort of thing, but,

Instructions from the General Contractor and Instructions from the Government AgencyIf there is one, I'll do it lol

I'm not really convinced, but it's my job, lol.

 

Things like this usually end up causing problems later on, and there’s nothing you can do about it once you’re told about it after the fact.

I fully understand that even if the construction work itself is sound, as long as it’s listed under construction management, there’s a sense that it must be managed.

However, since there are some things we simply cannot do, I think it makes perfect sense to note that in the meeting minutes and seek guidance from the government office.

 

It’s better than having a careless lie (from management) lead to strange consequences later on.

Since this kind of thing happens quite often in my line of work, I want to handle it as honestly as possible.

When something doesn't work, either come up with an alternative (non-standard) management method to make it work, or

Should I consult the local government office on the assumption that it can't be done?

In any case, it’s best to consult with government agencies or the general contractor.

 

The worst thing you can do is to rush ahead based solely on your own ideas without consulting anyone!

This is the most dangerous scenario and can lead to irreversible consequences later on, so please be careful.

 

See you later
