It's the end of the work year, followed by a long New Year's break! Be very careful out there—have a great time!!!

2024/12/28

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Well, the long New Year's holiday is about to begin!

Well, guess I'll head back to my parents' place for now? lol

Holiday Travel Rush
https://matome.response.jp/articles/6441

It seems this is the day when the rush is at its peak this year.

 

Since I don't really have a "home" to go back to, I was planning to stay in Aichi, but I'm heading to Tokyo on the 29th for a site visit lol

Whaaaaaaat?!

Right?~...

But there's nothing we can do about it.

 

Since it's a private construction project, I have to go when the client is there... lol

Well, I’m just hanging out anyway, so it’s fine, but I really hate traffic jams.

I’d really like to get there before the traffic gets bad and head home before I get stuck in traffic.

 

Please be careful and enjoy the long weekend.

We slope workers are always driving, so I don't think many of us get into accidents, but as for others, like those who rarely drive or

Please watch out for drivers on their days off!

Passing Lane

Be especially careful of cars that drive slowly in the passing lane on the highway as if they own the place!!!

If you get too close, it'll attack you, lol.

 

Well then, everyone!

Have a great holiday!!

 

See you later.

Why Do Slope Maintenance Workers Travel Such Long Distances? A Look at Annual Mileage and Vehicle Conditions

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…
