What should you do when the blueprint says “reverse-wrap installation,” but it seems like you don’t actually need to do it?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Initially, the blueprints specify “counter-rotation construction” in the margin. However, what if, when you actually start cutting, you find that the soil conditions are better than expected and it looks like you’ll be able to cut normally? What would you do? Generally speaking, you’d decide how to proceed based on the situation on-site, consult with the local authorities, and…
People who are making plans are actually feeling anxious.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you getting organized for work? When it comes to work, we all need to get organized (prepare), and we usually take care of our own preparations, right? But as you get a little older, you start having to organize things for your own team and for the entire department, don’t you?…
Talking About the Costs of Inverse-Winding Construction
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you all busy? Things are kind of slow here, lol. It seems busy, but it’s not really that hectic—it just feels like we’re keeping things moving for now. Well, in the meantime, we’re steadily moving forward with our private-sector construction projects. As for this “leveling out” that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has been talking about for a while now…
A Battle Between Nature and the Slope-Construction Company?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Here’s a photo of a collapse at a rebar insertion work site. The mortar has come loose, and the rebar insertion work is being pulled downward. The design anticipated a surface collapse and called for a combination of mortar and rebar insertion work. The collapse occurred deeper within the structure. It collapsed after it rained…
Material-handling equipment for working at heights when large machinery cannot access the site during slope construction!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. There are quite a few slope construction projects where you can’t use a crane, aren’t there? For example, when there’s a temporary retaining wall in front that blocks the crane’s path. But getting reinforcing mesh or formwork to that spot is really tough. So what do slope construction workers do in situations like that? &n…

The reality is that the number of construction-related transportation companies is declining significantly! And this is affecting construction sites as well!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The rain this week has been terrible, hasn’t it? But I hear it’s going to get cold again next week… It keeps getting warmer, then colder… It’s enough to make you feel under the weather, but more than that, I’ve been noticing a labor shortage. At our construction site, the ready-mix concrete trucks just aren’t showing up. The reason…
By planning ahead, preparing in advance, and reporting regularly, you can prevent risks from turning into problems!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, someone I had an appointment with didn’t show up at the scheduled time, and since I had no idea how late they’d be, I waited for an hour and then went home lol. Obviously, the most important thing about a meeting is showing up on time, but I suppose there are bound to be some hiccups along the way. So…
