New! Enta's Slope Management Schoolis an information site dedicated to slope construction, by slope construction professionals, and for slope construction professionals.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When the cement slurry doesn’t rise during rebar insertion, what do you do? I don’t think many of you just keep pouring the cement slurry without doing anything. After all, you want to get it up as quickly as possible! lol So, what do you do…?

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s gotten quite a bit cooler in the shade. But air-conditioned workwear is the best this time of year! The real benefit of air-conditioned workwear is how it handles the lingering summer heat, lol. It makes the lingering summer heat feel like autumn all at once, so you can get your work done comfortably. But anyway… Since last week, I’ve been working on draining the water…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s been a while since it last rained, hasn’t it? Every time it rains, the temperature drops a little bit... It’s starting to feel like a nice season, isn’t it? ^^ But anyway... Since my previous post on photography techniques was well-received (by a very small number of people, lol), I thought I’d write about the absolute basics of photo management...

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The rain is causing major delays on our site. How are things going on your sites? This tends to happen with any project that involves earthwork, doesn’t it? When it comes to earthwork on slopes, you often have to resort to single-cut excavation, but if you dig carelessly on a rainy day, it could lead to a collapse…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I received a question on my Ameblo blog the other day, so I thought I’d answer it here. “The local government asked me, ‘What’s the basis for requiring 30 or more anchors per 100 square meters?’ I’ve asked my senior colleagues and searched online, but I can’t even find a single reference… I’ve been looking into it from various angles, but…”

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Picking up where I left off the other day, I’ll be covering designated temporary structures—as opposed to voluntary temporary structures—this time. Since they’re called “designated,” they’re obviously designated by the local government, but what exactly is designated? Basically, everything, lol. Everything—from the design to the specifications—is specified by the local government. Well, usually it’s written in the construction plans…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been getting a bit nervous lately because I’ve been showing up on Google News a lot, but I guess that’s just part of the job when you’re sharing information, huh? ^^ I’d like to write about “voluntary temporary housing” and “designated temporary housing.” To put it simply, it’s just a matter of whether it’s voluntary or designated…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you measure soil hardness? Well, only for landscaping projects, of course. When you measure soil hardness, where do you take the measurements? Wherever you like? At designated measurement points? Actually, it’s easier to manage when you use designated measurement points, isn’t it? The measurement points on the site layout diagram…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I imagine everyone is busy as the fiscal year comes to a close. We’re busy too, but we have a little breathing room thanks to gaps between job sites and scheduling conflicts. However, we don’t have enough downtime to take on other projects… We have private-sector projects waiting for us as well, but it’s not a situation where we can just jump right in…
