The Construction Industry Is Overloaded at the End of the Fiscal Year | On-Site Management Techniques to Prevent Forgetfulness

2022/01/13

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Single-Pipe Scaffolding Worker

Actually, the other day I secretly (lol) uploaded the stability calculation report for the single-tube scaffolding.

But I’d actually made the huge blunder of posting the exact same thing a few years ago lol.

I should have checked more carefully, but I completely forgot about it~

 

Lately, there have been more and more times when I thought I’d done something but actually hadn’t, and I’m really disappointed in myself...

Get as many quotes as you want.

If the general contractor didn't ask me to do it again, I would have completely forgotten about it.

If you've requested a quote and haven't received one yet, it means we've completely forgotten about it.

I'm truly sorry, but please resubmit your request.

 

I try to take notes as much as possible, but I often forget to look at them, and as I keep taking new notes, my older ones get buried.

I do use reminders and stuff, but even if they go off on site, well... lol

 

Man, I really feel like I'm turning into an old guy.

I know I'm just making excuses because I'm overwhelmed by my busy daily life, but I wish I could be a little more efficient...

 

 

Things are going to get even busier starting next week, and I'll be heading out to the Shizuoka area to do some drilling, lol.

Since the general contractor is in charge, I don’t have to worry about a thing—I can just go about drilling at my own pace, so it’s pretty stress-free, but,

It’s always when I’m busy that ideas for things I want to do pop into my head, so I actually look forward to that.

Since the field is also a source of ideas for development, I don't mind going out there regularly lol

 

The items I've been making with my 3D printer since the New Year are really starting to take shape, so I think I'll be able to share them soon.

I think we'll be busy for a while longer, but let's do our best to stay injury-free until the end of the fiscal year!

Slope work is often viewed as an ancillary task to paving work, and since it’s the final step, it’s often used to adjust the construction schedule lol.

We're absolutely swamped at the end of the fiscal year!

Safety first!

 

See you later.

Hello, everyone. I’m Enta. I’ve been driving for about three hours, thinking to myself, “Isn’t the distance we slope workers travel just crazy?” so I figured I’d write about it lol. Our sense of distance is out of sync with the rest of the world. Generally speaking, a one-hour commute by car…

Why Do Cracks Form in Mortar? | Examining the Causes of Cracks in Formwork and Sprayed Mortar from the Perspectives of Mix Design and Curing

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I came across a job site where there were fine cracks in the joints of the retaining wall. A layperson who was with me (not a slope contractor) asked, “Is this okay?” I explained the reasons on the spot, but later I thought, “If I summarize this on my blog, people will understand…”

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…
