<\/p>\nHello, everyone.<\/p>\n
This is Enta.<\/p>\n
I hurt my back the other day while moving lol<\/p>\n
Well, I guess there's nothing I can do about it...<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I moved my mother from Kagoshima to Aichi. (She's getting on in years.)<\/p>\n
So, the only reason I'm going back to Kagoshima is to visit that slope contractor there, right?<\/p>\n
Well, I do have some classmates there, but I\u2019m getting to that age where I\u2019m starting to feel less and less like going back to my hometown, aren\u2019t I?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But that's beside the point.<\/p>\n
The staff shortage is really getting me down, but I just have to power through it!<\/p>\n
Let's do our best.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I've always wondered\u2014don't they often use boulders for root reinforcement work?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I know it might sound a little weird for me to write this, but I can\u2019t help wondering, \u201cDoes that rock really move?\u201d lol<\/p>\n
I'm not talking about 1-ton or 2-ton rocks! You mean rocks weighing tens of metric tons?<\/p>\n
Do you think it'll work??<\/p>\n
Well, if it's a rock weighing a few hundred kilograms, there's a chance it might move.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When performing root reinforcement, first clean the root area slightly and dig a little.<\/p>\n
It turns out the roots go quite deep (the depth to which the stones are embedded).<\/p>\n
Then, apply a fiber-reinforced mortar or similar material by spraying it onto the surface.<\/p>\n
Naturally, since it blows in the surrounding stones and other debris, it also helps prevent weathering.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sure, it\u2019s showing some signs of wear and tear, but I always find myself thinking, \u201cI can\u2019t believe this thing still works\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
In the long run, if this were to shift and fall due to an earthquake or similar event, for example, it would likely cause extensive damage to the structures below.<\/p>\n
If you're saying it's something meant to prevent that, I can kind of see where you're coming from...<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Actually, there are quite a few construction projects where you find yourself wondering, \u201cWhy are they even doing this here?\u201d<\/p>\n
I get the impression that, especially in some government offices, there are a lot of people with backgrounds in agriculture and forestry. (Or is that just my imagination?)<\/p>\n
About 15 years ago, I worked on slope stabilization for several years as part of a road construction project for the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.<\/p>\n
After that, the road led nowhere and eventually became a construction site that was abandoned due to a landslide caused by heavy rain.<\/p>\n
It's still just the same. (I went to see it before, didn't I? lol)<\/p>\n
I can't help but wonder, \"Wasn't this supposed to connect to something?\"<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s undeniable that some of the construction work is unnecessary. However, since it\u2019s not up to us to decide that, we can\u2019t really complain.<\/p>\n
Besides, that's what we slope contractors do.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
With all the natural disasters we\u2019ve had lately, there are moments when I find myself wondering, \u201cMaybe that construction project wasn\u2019t a waste after all?\u201d<\/p>\n
Flash floods from erosion control dams are another example, aren't they?<\/p>\n
When constructing a erosion control dam, the slope contractor must always construct the left and right abutments.<\/p>\n
What condition are the slopes in after a flash flood? You\u2019re probably wondering if they\u2019re actually serving a purpose, aren\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
By observing slopes (at the site) after a disaster, we can probably learn a little more and come up with some new ideas.<\/p>\n
That kind of mindset is important to ensure the construction work isn't a waste of time, isn't it?<\/p>\n
Since you\u2019ll hardly ever look at it once it\u2019s done, you should check on its progress (for your own sake, too).<\/p>\n
As a slope contractor.<\/p>\n
