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…
Photos That Catch Your Eye (How to Take Troublesome Construction Photos)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Golden Week ends tomorrow, doesn’t it? Things are going to get busier and busier starting next week, so let’s do our best! ^^ And it’s going to get really hot, too. I have a feeling this year’s heat will be out of the ordinary, so we need to stay alert and take precautions! But enough of that…
What Should You Do About That Huge Rock? Here Are 7 Solutions!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. My back is healing nicely. Those back exercises are amazing. By the way, this is all I’m doing lol. But anyway, I often get asked, “What should I do about exposed stones (rocks) on a slope?” There’s one on the slope that’s half-buried—I wonder how deep it is…
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…
We have entered an era where companies are expected to handle both construction management and construction at the same time.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, I’ve been swamped with preparing estimates and cost calculations for upcoming projects. I’m truly grateful to have a general contractor who entrusts me with this kind of work—it’s a real pleasure. It seems there’s quite a bit of availability among slope stabilization contractors in the Tokai region these days. I’ve been hearing from various people around me that work is scarce, so I’d like to lend a hand…
I think that working as a subcontractor for a major company is, in a sense, quite a challenge.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was talking with a local general contractor. During our conversation, we got onto the topic of the quality of site supervisors (lol). Of course, the skill levels of the workers vary widely too... But when local contractors decide whether to subcontract work to major companies, the number one factor is peace of mind, right...
Here's what to do when things aren't going well!!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When it rains, the ground becomes unstable very quickly due to the effects of the Noto Peninsula earthquake. I’m very concerned. Even a small amount of rain can cause water to seep into the unstable ground, and the weight of that water can trigger a collapse. I want people living in homes with mountains behind them to be especially careful. But anyway…
Will the "2024 Problem" lead to construction sites being flooded with temporary workers next year, resulting in an increase in construction errors?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. As a countermeasure to next year’s “2024 Problem”—specifically, the overtime regulations—there’s been a massive surge in temporary workers, lol. Not just in the slope engineering industry, but the entire construction industry is now full of temporary supervisors, right? What’s your impression of temporary supervisors? To be honest, my impression is…
