What is the "utilization coefficient" used in port construction for those involved in marine construction?
Thank you for always watching. This time, I will talk about important indicators used in port operations. Depending on the site environment, offshore construction is easily affected by waves and wind, and it is particularly necessary to carefully consider weather conditions in cost management and labor management. For this reason, there is an important keyword in offshore construction known as "utilization coefficient." This time, we will take a rough look at this "utilization coefficient." 1. What does "utilization" mean? 2. Calculation of the utilization coefficient 3. Concept of the utilization coefficient 1. What does "utilization" mean? First, "utilization" refers to the state in which machinery and equipment have been delivered to the construction site. The number of days from when the equipment is delivered to when it is removed is called "utilization days." Additionally, the construction period (excluding preparation and cleanup) includes not only the days when work is performed (operating days) but also non-operating days (holidays, safety training days, days of inclement weather, etc.). The remaining days in a year (365 days) after excluding these non-operating days constitute the annual "operating days" for the machinery and equipment. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

[For Civil Engineering and Construction Supervisors] Regarding the Heat Index (WBGT) and Physical Work Intensity
Thank you for always reading. This time, we will deliver an article related to heatstroke. In the previous article, we explained the heat index (WBGT) as an indicator to measure the risk of heatstroke. WBGT is an index that quantifies the risk of heatstroke based on "temperature," "humidity," and "radiant heat." However, the factors contributing to heatstroke are not limited to the outside air. The work being performed at that time and the clothing being worn also significantly affect the risk of heatstroke. Therefore, to prevent heatstroke, it is necessary to consider two factors: "correction based on clothing combinations" and "WBGT standard values according to physical work intensity." In this article, we will introduce these two aspects. *For more details, please visit our company's website.*

Heatstroke measures for the construction industry: Let's integrate disaster prevention panels with business chat to share WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) information.
Thank you for always watching. According to the one-month forecast announced by the Japan Meteorological Agency on July 29, there is a high probability that temperatures will be higher than average nationwide this year. In some regions, forecasts predict maximum temperatures exceeding 40°C, which could lead to unprecedented heat. In your company, the risk of heatstroke is increasing like never before, and I believe you are taking great care and measures for outdoor work. However, in addition to daily operations, monitoring the WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) and sharing information with all stakeholders requires considerable effort. Therefore, I would like to introduce this feature! The natural disaster prevention system ZEROSAI provided by Sysmet supports smooth information sharing by automatically notifying heatstroke information through integration with business chat tools! *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

[Free Distribution] Preventing Lightning Damage Part 1: Basic Knowledge and Evacuation Action Guidebook
The humid rainy season has arrived, and many people may be thinking about measures against heavy rain, such as linear precipitation zones. However, it is easy to get distracted by the heavy rain and not fully grasp the threat of lightning. It is said that the voltage of a lightning strike can reach 100 million volts, which is equivalent to 1 million times that of household electricity. In Japan, it is reported that there are over 1 million lightning strikes annually, which increases the risk for professions that often work outdoors, such as civil engineering and construction. As a private weather company, we believe it is important to share knowledge related to weather with everyone, even in small ways. Therefore, we have created a guidebook titled "Preventing Lightning Damage! (Part 1) Basic Knowledge and Evacuation Action Guide." We encourage you to take a look and use it for ensuring safety at your workplace or as training material. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.*
