Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

The typhoon has passed, but it wiped out a whole day’s worth of construction progress, didn’t it? lol

Where can I make up for this lost day?

That's what you're thinking, right?

Obviously, if I want to make up for a day, should I go out on Sunday?

The only option is to make up the time by arriving an hour and a half early or working overtime each day.

To shorten the construction period, we need to compress the schedule.

The one thing you definitely want to avoid here is working on Sundays to make up for lost time.

I’d like to make it a point to take at least one day off a week, but of course, there are times when that’s just not possible.

Of course, the construction schedule takes priority, so there are times when we can’t take time off because there’s no room in the schedule.

In cases like that, we can make it work by taking turns taking time off.

Working continuously leads to a significant drop in efficiency, causes a loss of focus, and causes the accident rate to skyrocket.

In addition, the risk of health problems keeps rising.

That means,No matter how busy you are, don't push yourself—make sure to get plenty of rest, then get back to work!

This might be the best strategy for shortening the construction schedule.

However, if it's physically critical, it seems like you'll need to give it your all at that very moment.

In the case of a paste frame

As a way to streamline the process, overlapping the various work phases can improve efficiency. (Although it makes management difficult...)

For example, spraying from above while assembling the formwork.

However, this will require additional personnel, and it will become more difficult to assign work areas—such as those where vertical movement is prohibited.

In the case of anchor work

If the drilling area is long from side to side, using two drilling machines—one on each side—can nearly double the speed.

I recommend this because it improves efficiency in tasks like injection, but you’ll run into trouble if you don’t pay attention to where the machine moves.

It takes time to resolve the recent tensions, but,

That's because if you manage Creep and Steel Wire's relaxation properly, it's easy to reduce the time required to a certain extent.

It is possible to shorten it at the discretion of the responsible manager (ground anchor installer).

Additionally, to shorten it further, use two tension jacks. (Prepare documentation for two units.)

That way, it’s physically possible to service two cars a day. (Whether or not you use two jacks is another story… lol)

Although there is a rental fee for two jacks, it saves a tremendous amount of time.

 

There are actually many places other than the worksite where we can reduce costs, but when it comes to that...A Matter of Experience and Knowledge—or, in Other Words, Good JudgmentThat's it!

A savvy manager is able to map out future processes by instantly identifying and filling those gaps, isn't that right?

Employees at major companies really are amazing when it comes to that sort of thing.

People with an overwhelming amount of on-the-job experience are truly top-notch.

Another strength of large companies is their ability to bring in subcontractors as needed.

 

To streamline the process, it is absolutely essential that there be no accidents.That's it.

That's all there is to it.

One accident is all it takes to throw the entire production process off track.

To prevent accidents, it’s essential to get enough rest so that you can make sound judgments.

It’s precisely when you’re in a hurry that you need to take the plunge and take a break.

You do need to know when to take the plunge, though, lol.

 

See you later.
