On Weekday Holidays, the Phone Doesn't Ring | A Break for the Slope Maintenance Crew

2020/07/23

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Somehow, I have a four-day weekend starting today!!

Yaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Extended Vacation

I can't say I don't kind of think that would be better, but then again, with the pandemic, there aren't that many places we can actually go, right?

We're taking advantage of this slightly cloudy weather to spray! Spray!!

If we don't get the concrete work moving—even if it's just a little behind schedule—it's going to be a total disaster!!

I imagine slope maintenance contractors all over the place are probably swamped right now, soLet's stay safe!

Even with the four-day holiday and the work-style reform initiatives, the construction industry still doesn’t really get regular holidays, but as long as we can take turns getting time off, that’s fine by me.

If you can't do it, just give up and get down to some serious work lol

Work

What a coincidence! I'm swamped with work, too.

On days like this, there are absolutely no sales calls, so I can really get through my paperwork!

A long weekend on a weekday means unlimited paperwork. Do as much as you want. The moment to really power through is right here, right now.

Let's do our best today, too!

 

See you later.

Since I needed them on the job, I built two iPhone apps myself.

Hello, this is Director Jou. I provide on-site support for civil engineering projects in Hyogo while sharing content on YouTube about the use of ICT at construction sites. This time, rather than discussing construction methods or equipment, this is more of a record of my desperate attempts. There was something I really wanted on site, but I couldn’t find it anywhere…

The Correct Way to Install Formwork Is Level (Horizontal) | Why Aligning It with the Road Grade Will Make Reinforcement Installation a Nightmare

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving on the highway, I can’t help but keep looking at the road embankments—it’s an occupational hazard, isn’t it? lol The other day, while I was on the road, I saw a retaining wall that sloped diagonally to match the road’s gradient. Just as I thought, “Oh, that’s to match the gradient,” I also wondered, “What if there were rebar installers working on this…”

What Is Set Loss? | How Tension Stabilization of Ground Anchors Reduces Load and On-Site Countermeasures

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Young engineers often ask me, “Is set loss really necessary?” Come to think of it, even though the term “set loss” is thrown around all the time on job sites, there are actually a lot of people who’ve never had it properly explained to them. Back in the day, when I was installing ground anchors…

What Is the Moldam Method? An Explanation for the General Public, from a Field Perspective, of a Stone Masonry Adhesive Reinforcement Method That Reinforces Masonry “From the Inside”

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving down country roads, I often see old retaining walls made of cobblestones, don’t I? Some of them are even arched outwards, and I find myself staring at them every time, wondering, “Is this really going to hold up?” lol. Those stone walls that our ancestors built one stone at a time really do make for a nice view…

Enta Goes to Mongolia! Part 4 | Traffic Jams in Ulaanbaatar, a Thermal Power Plant, and a City Full of Priuses

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Day 3 in Mongolia flew by, and now it’s Day 4. Today, we’ll leave the ger where we stayed around 9:00 a.m. and head back to Ulaanbaatar. My trip to Mongolia is nearing its end. I’ve seen the grasslands, gers, camels, horses, and giant boulders, but what awaited me at the very end was…
