Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Are you failing?

It’s like, “What kind of start is this?!” lol

 

The other day, I was talking with a professor from a civil engineering school and a construction consultant.

 

In that discussion, I mentioned a rebar insertion project I worked on a long time ago, where we implemented measures to prevent scoria before proceeding with the actual rebar insertion work.

Temporary work was carried out in advance to install rebar within the pumice layer, followed by the main construction work.

That's what I was talking about.

 

Someone asked me, “What about that data!?”

 

I said, "Huh?"

That's how it was lol

Temporary construction work—even though I remember those days vividly, it’s hard to document.

That's why it just ends without anyone ever knowing, isn't it?

I think if it were now, I’d definitely share the information...

 

He said that everyone wants to know about those countermeasures and how they were implemented, as well as the basis for them.

When you really think about it, we don’t really give much thought to the temporary construction work involved in major projects like this, do we?

But this is actually very important data, isn't it?

This data is provided in case someone else needs to perform the work in the future.

This data is important because it’s the result of trial and error.

 

Plus, it seems my experiment was interesting, and he was really impressed lol

It just goes to show that even experiments and temporary construction projects that we don’t usually give much thought to have plenty of potential to shape the future if we just stop and think about them for a moment.

 

Please keep in mind that the preparatory work you’re all doing on-site right now—especially the more specialized it is—will benefit someone in the future.

It would be best if there were a place to publish and save that information, but if the company is reluctant to make it public, then it won't work...

That kind of technology—the invisible, behind-the-scenes stuff—is really important, isn't it?

 

If you're looking at data like that, try to document it in writing and with photos as much as possible—and if you can, upload it online; if not, do it after you retire lol.

Since this is a public works project, I don't think there will be any issues a few years down the line, so please go ahead and make it public.

 

Let's leave our valuable experience and skills behind in Japan!

 

See you later.
