Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve had the chance to look back at some of my old posts recently. The article I wrote in 2016, “Drilling Machines and Methods for Slope Anchoring,” was actually published nine and a half years ago.

As we move forward with digital transformation in the construction industry, aren't there other areas where we could improve efficiency?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Don’t you ever come across management or construction practices in various prefectures or regional construction bureaus where you wonder, “What’s the point of this?”? The specifications are supposed to follow those of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, but for some reason, there are times when the special specifications say, “Do this and that,” right?
