What 送電線工事 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

発電所で発電された電気は特別高圧送電線(7,000ボルト以上)を通して送り届けられる。特別高圧送電線には架空送電線と地中送電線があり、架空送電線の架線工事に従事するのが仕事である。
 主には特別高圧架空送電線の新設や改修に伴う電線架線作業であるが、既設の送電線の点検や保守作業にも従事する。
 電線架線作業では、鉄塔に登って電線を鉄塔と鉄塔の間に架設する。鉄塔の高さは10メートルくらいから更に高いものまである。地上では、電線を架線する前に配電線や道路に電線が接触しないように防護足場を構築し、電線を延線するための延線用エンジンと電線ドラムの配置、電線を接続するための電線接続器の準備、碍子(がいし)金具の組立てや取付け、金車やワイヤーロープの配置など、高所作業のための準備作業を行う。
 架線作業は通常5~10人くらいの班編成で担当する。班長の指揮にしたがって、まず地上での準備作業から始まり、次に鉄塔上への資材・工具の吊り上げ、金車・延線用ワイヤーロープの配置などを行う。鉄塔上では、電線の延線・緊線、碍子や付属品などの取り付けをする。ペンチ、モンキースパナなどの工具を常に携帯し、作業は安全帽、安全靴の他、高所作業時は安全帯などの安全装備品を身につけて行う。

◇ よく使う道具、機材、情報技術等
 延線用エンジン、電線ドラム、電線接続器、碍子(がいし)金具、金車、ワイヤーロープ、工具(かなづち、のこぎり等の手動工具、ドリル等の電動工具)、作業中の保護具(ヘルメット、ゴーグル、グローブ、安全靴等)

How AI is changing this job

A written analysis for this occupation is being prepared.

AI replacement risk compares the parts of a job that are easy to hand to AI or software (processing information, documentation, repetitive computer work) with the parts that are hard to automate (physical work, working closely with people, judgment in unpredictable settings), using the MHLW job tag survey on work activities, work context, skills and knowledge. The result is a relative position among all occupations in the country, scaled to 0–100%. Methodology →

The typical path in Japan is shown by the education, training and experience of current workers above and in the Japanese guidance below. A detailed English guide for this occupation is being prepared.

Guidance from job tag (Japanese)
入職にあたって、特に学歴や資格は必要とされないが、送電線架線工事を専門に行う企業に就職するのが一般的である。採用経路は学校とハローワークが比較的多い。入社後の数年間は実際の作業を通じての実務訓練が行われる。大規模な会社では社内に技能訓練設備があり、各種の技能訓練が行われている。一人前の作業者として認められるように、技能水準を示す基準として社内で作業班長の資格認定制度が設けられているケースもある。
 一般的には6~7年の経験を積み作業班長になると5~10人くらいの部下を任せられるようになる。作業班長は、計画された作業工程にしたがって資材、機材を準備し、作業員の配置を決定し、作業内容や安全対策について現場代理人(工事の総括責任者)や工事関係者と十分に確認し、作業を円滑かつ安全に推進する責任者である。鉄塔上の高所作業が主体となるため、体力とともに身体の平衡感覚や手先が器用なことが求められる。
