Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
The other day, I got in touch with the general contractor in Toyama Prefecture and asked them a number of questions.
I hear there was quite a bit of damage in the Toyama area as well.
I hear that plumbers are working hard to restore water and other infrastructure.
I've heard that, at the request of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, one team is heading to the Noto Peninsula to carry out restoration work.
Local general contractors in the construction industry generally have disaster response agreements in place with local government offices, so they respond accordingly in the event of an emergency.
So, basically, it’s the local general contractor who’s really pushing the restoration work along at full speed.
Surprisingly, that doesn't get much coverage!
Almost all the news coverage is about the Self-Defense Forces...
I do believe that the members of the Self-Defense Forces are doing their very best.
However, local general contractors are also working full steam ahead on the restoration efforts.
I know I shouldn't be saying things like that during a crisis like this, but,
I believe that if the media would report on this more thoroughly, it would help improve the image of the construction industry!
People might say, “What kind of thing is that to say at a time like this?” but this is important, too!
The future of the construction industry is at stake!
It’s precisely during times of crisis like this that we want to show just how amazing the construction industry is!!
With that thought in mind, I’m spending another day feeling restless.
That said, what we can do is quickly and easily install shallow wells.
We have also contacted our general contractor to let them know that we would like to proceed with installing wells once the roads in the disaster-stricken area have been restored to a certain extent.
I hope this will be of some help to the construction industry.
See you later.
