Transparent construction management and transparent safety management instill a sense of security in others.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When doing ground anchor work or rebar installation, you put leftover grout and other materials into ton bags for disposal, right? When you do that, it usually looks something like this everywhere. We used to do it this way, too. No, wait…
The name of our high-performance water-reducing agent has changed! It’s now called Seecaseum FLC400!!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Did you know? The name of *that* product has changed!!? I’m talking about LeoBuild 4000, which we used to take for granted in our industry. It was renamed to MasterLock FLC400 two years ago, right? lol Back then, the amount we were using…
Couldn't we help alleviate the labor shortage by ensuring that trainees and Japanese workers fully understand the significance of construction work and by improving quality?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I had some thoughts after giving a presentation the other day on low-voltage electricity and our work. We conducted special in-house training as well as training on other construction-related topics. Do the craftsmen and technical trainees at your company understand what they’re actually doing? &nbs…

A Discussion of Galvanizing Standards, Thickness, and Coating Weight
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Last month, I visited a galvanizing plant. My former boss had changed jobs and become a director at a materials supplier, so he gave me a tour of the plant. As for the galvanized material shown in the photo above, I heard that one bundle (a tied bundle) costs about 500,000 yen!!!! Right now, galvanized…
When calculating the number of scaffolding workers at heights, the count starts from the bottom and works its way up!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today, I’d like to talk about billing for scaffolding work. Scaffolding is often required when ground anchors or rebar inserts are installed at the top of a slope, isn’t it? For example, suppose there were ground anchors or rebar inserts in a location like the one shown below…
By thoroughly documenting even temporary construction work that isn’t recorded in official construction logs, we ensure that this information is passed on to future engineers!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you failing? I know—what a way to start! lol The other day, I was talking with a teacher from a civil engineering school and a construction consultant. During that conversation, we got onto the topic of rebar insertion work I did a long time ago, and the scori…
How to Draw Slope Construction Drawings, Part 3
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I meant “how to draw” a blueprint, not “how to write” one, right…? Japanese is tricky, isn’t it? I’ll be more careful from now on ^^ But anyway… This time, it’s “How to Draw a Blueprint, Part 3.” “How to Draw a Blueprint, Part 1,” “How to Draw a Blueprint, Part 2”—I’ve covered everything up to the title block…
