Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Ever since I wrote an article on retaining wall reinforcement, I’ve been receiving frequent inquiries from the general public.
"What do you think of our retaining wall?"
Even if you tell me, I still can't really say anything until I see the site for myself... lol
At the very least, I'd appreciate it if you could send me a photo.
That said, it really all comes down to the field!
The price won't be determined until we see the site.
So, this is a continuation of the previous post.
Retaining Wall Reinforcement Methods from a Slope Engineer’s Perspective (Part 1)
Retaining Wall Reinforcement Methods from a Slope Engineer’s Perspective (Part 7): Design
Reinforcing a stone wall is relatively simple.
To put it simply, it's because there's a unit price per square meter.
Basically, we perform the calculations based on what is known as cost estimate documentation.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism sets the unit prices for each region.
We'll calculate the total based on that.
I'll skip that part this time, and
To put it simply,1 m² = 30,000 yen Front and rear. (Moldam G Hyper Spec)
For example, for 20 m², that would be 20 m² × 30,000 yen = 600,000 yen.
That amount will be displayed.
However, this figure reflects only the cost of the Moldam construction method and does not include any expenses.
Furthermore, depending on the circumstances, there is a very real possibility that it could be two to three times as much.
That isInjection VolumeThat's it!
There are also cases where the area where the stone is to be bonded is too narrow to allow for injection.
The amount varies greatly depending on how many voids there are in the stone.
Furthermore, whether the project is in the private or public sector, a surcharge is applied if the project is difficult to construct.
If the volume of work doesn't increase, costs will inevitably go up.
That depends on the condition of the stone retaining wall.
Next, we will proceed with the construction of the drainage boreholes and the installation of reinforcing bars.
Next time: Construction Practices You Must Avoid When Dealing with Retaining Walls!
That's it.
The reason I'm writing this is that there are far too many cases of shoddy workmanship out there.
I hope that, as much as possible, no one will have to experience sadness.
That said, from our perspective as slope engineers, this is only natural, but,
In the private construction industry, lying is commonplace.
When you think about it this way, you realize just how important it is to bring in a construction consultant, doesn't it?
Since public works projects are a collaboration between construction consultants and construction companies, I don't think they'd ever cut corners, but,
With private construction projects, you're just at the mercy of the contractor, aren't you?
It's scary, isn't it?
See you later.
