Hello, everyone.
This is Enta,
Have you heard of the website “God of Construction”?
This is a website where you can read a variety of articles for those in the construction and building industries.
In that context,
Ranking of Average Annual Salaries at 100 Construction Companies
There was a saying that went like this.
As expected, the pay increases at major general contractors are off the charts! lol
That concludes our discussion; as things stand, the situation remains difficult for second-tier subcontractors and those below them.
Let's keep raising our unit prices more and more from now on!
But that's beside the point.
Reinforcement Bar Installer: What Do You Do in Situations Like This? (Part 1)
Continuing from last time, here are the answers.
Even though I’m calling this the “answer,” it’s not necessarily the best one—there are all sorts of possible approaches, but,
Just to give you an idea of how I would do it.
So, no matter what problem arises, the overall process doesn't change much.
This entire process is something that general contractors and the like do as a matter of course.
FlowPlease just keep that in mind. Remember that there are plenty of ways to deal with it.
How to Install It
As for the conditions of the previous installation:
1. Construction using scaffolding built with conventional methods
2. The angle is 30 degrees.
3. Position: Field Supervisor
Assessing the Current Situation
How narrow is it? (Exactly XX meters, etc.)
Is there absolutely no way to use a machine?
What about a small area? (e.g., extensions)
Number of piles that cannot be driven
Is it possible to take care of it?
Measures to Address the Current Situation
Think about how we can carry out the construction under the current circumstances.
Can this be done by changing the construction method? Or is it not possible?
Can I do it by hand?
Can I do it myself?
Why not try changing the angle significantly?
What happens from a stability analysis perspective when the angle is changed?
What is the construction schedule for other trades? What is the cost?
Status Report
We will compile the above items and hold discussions with the local government office. (We will submit written documents such as meeting minutes and discussion records.)
First, here is an update on the current situation.
Given the current conditions on site—this, that, and the other—it’s impossible to pour concrete at 30 degrees.
So, it looks like this is the construction method we can use at this point.
However, if this construction method is used, the cost would be roughly as follows (based on cost estimates, etc.).
Something like that—an explanation of the current situation, along with current drawings, feasible construction methods, design costs, and so on.
We'll provide the government office with the items to be compared and ask them to make a selection.
At that point, I’ll also suggest, “Wouldn’t it be better for the company to do it this way?”
Whether construction costs go up or down, they are extremely important.
In some cases,Money takes priority over construction methods and efficiency.
It is important to hold discussions in advance to ensure that work on-site is not interrupted.
As I mentioned before,
It is also important for a site supervisor to be able to predict the near future with a certain degree of accuracy.Therefore,
We will practice the present progressive and future progressive tenses at the same time.
(Even though I say “future,” you can pretty much figure it out just by comparing the blueprints with the current situation. It’s actually very simple.)
In the end,
It's important to get the instructions from the government officeThat's it.
For example, even if the company receives instructions not to install rebar and the structure collapses after construction, the company is not at fault.
Ultimately, this is also done to protect the company and the site supervisor.
The responsibility lies with the client who gave the instructions.
Depending on the situation, some government officials may not accept these meeting minutes or meeting logs.
Situations like this are really frustrating lol, but make sure to keep an accurate record of the date and time you submitted it, and if they don't accept it, consider recording the conversation... lol
That’s all for now, but next time, let’s discuss how to proceed with the actual construction—specifically, measures for steep slopes.
See you later.
