Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
I guess I'm what people call a "disaster victim"?
I haven't been injured, and the area where I live has both electricity and water.
We just don't have any fuel. And we're running low on food, I guess?
Fuel restrictions were put in place, and we were told we could only get 5 liters of gasoline and 10 liters of diesel.
I couldn't even afford bread for breakfast, so this morning I had a chocolate muffin from the convenience store for breakfast lol
Well, since we can't drill at the site, the operation has been canceled, but it looks like I'll still be able to get nervous, so I'm starting to feel nervous.
We can't drill at full speed because we're out of fuel. Well, it looks like the construction work has been affected by the disaster...
But that's beside the point.
It appears there was some displacement of the natural ground at the site.
It's about 10 mm. That said, 10 mm in a landslide-prone area means construction is completely halted, lol.
I believe the general guidelines were something like "suspend operations at 5 mm" and "issue a warning at 3 mm." (This varies by region and jurisdiction.)
I imagine the government agency will make its decision based on a comprehensive review of the extensometers, strain gauges, load cells, and other instruments installed on the mountain.
If it rains from here on, there is a high probability that it could collapse in the worst-case scenario.
If the soil becomes loose and the weight increases due to rain, it will collapse. The reverse is also true.
What’s more, the sites where landslide mitigation work is being carried out are generally located on mountains that retain water. This is true of almost all landslide-prone areas.
If it rains heavily there, it can be very dangerous.
This is especially true for sites where catch basins have been installed.
Well, I have no idea how things will turn out today, but I'm going to try to keep my nerves in check (even though I'm just a craftsman this time).
A craftsman who knows way more about stress management than the lead engineer is coming over lol
See you later.
