Controlling Water Flow | The Core of Slope Stabilization
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Hasn't the weird rain been really bad these past few days? Especially in the Tokai region. It was pouring so hard that I decided to take some photos lol. The water level at the Asukabu section in the latter half of the video was already incredibly high, and it kept rising afterward until it reached about 80% of the maximum height. This area usually gets a lot of rain…
Sharing Information Is a Learning Experience | Open Mind
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, while drilling, I filmed a video of the job site and even edited it myself. Here’s what it looks like. I shot this in 4K and edited it on my phone. This site is just so hard! I used a down-the-hole hammer and a high-pressure compressor…
Challenges Faced When You're Not Paying Attention | Hazard Perception
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been working at a water supply and drainage boring site since last week. And even though it’s been a while since I’ve taken photos on site, I’ve been forgetting something! It’s the kanji I need to write when filling out my KY activity reports!!

Question the Gaps | On-Site Quality Inspection
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m sure you’re familiar with wood formwork. It looks something like the photo above, right? Did you notice something odd at first glance? I didn’t notice it at all, but the general contractor pointed out that something was off lol …
Even Simple Construction Work Should Be Done Thoroughly | Avoiding Complacency
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I recently encountered a completely baseless accusation and I’m still a little shaken up, lol. People who don’t make any sense—whether online or in real life—are terrifying. But anyway, the other day, I was watching a recorded episode of a show called “The Unknown Gulliver.” It covered various major Japanese corporations…
Launch of the Construction Ledger System | Internal Digital Transformation
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been using the construction ledger system for a few days now. It centralizes everything from time and attendance management to customer management, and from budgeting to quotes, as well as incoming and outgoing payments and work attendance. The great thing about systems like this is that once you set them up, things become much easier afterward…
Focus on What You Can Control | Thinking About Efficiency
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Here are some photos I sent from the job site the other day! This is just insane!! It’s scorching hot! This is what they mean by “dangerously hot,” right? (This job site is completely surrounded by metal—steel plates and steel sheet piles! lol) A few years ago, there was that incredibly hot spell…
I Tried Making a Drain | On-Site Improvement
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I set up a drainage system at the company’s construction site. Well, to be honest, all I did was dig some holes with a rotary percussion drill and fill them with crushed stone, lol. This area used to drain well, but it seems the soil has compacted over time, causing poor drainage. …
Good Companies vs. Bad Companies | How to Evaluate Construction Companies
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Is your company a good one? Or a bad one? I’d like to reflect on this based on my experience at the branch office where I used to work (from my perspective back then). The good points: 1. It’s a major company. 2. It’s stable. 3. There were lots of people who joined at the same time as me. 4. It was easy to get things done with subcontractors…
