Where Do Rockfalls Come From? | Causes and Countermeasures
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I went to Toyama today. It’s about time work starts in colder regions, too. Spring is especially helpful in so many ways! Thank you! lol Anyway, when inspecting slopes, the area above the slope shoulder is more important. The rope training we conduct at our company…
Balance Is Key | The Management Philosophy of a Slope Construction Company
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Work is steadily coming in from the field. It feels like we’re busy, but we’re not really… This is the hardest time of year… I really hope we get swamped with work soon so things pick up (lol). Anyway, getting back to the topic at hand, I was saying that last year’s orders were somehow different from what we’re seeing now…
Printing Presses Are Different from Copiers | Office Equipment for the Construction Industry
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you know what a printing press is? I saw one for the first time at school the other day. I guess you probably wouldn’t know what it is unless you work at a printing company. It looks something like this. You’d probably think it’s just a regular copier or printer, right? Actually, a printing…
Constant Consultation | Reaching Consensus with the General Contractor and Government Agencies
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Since our fiscal year ended at the end of February, it’s about time the data starts coming in, but last fiscal year was really bad for the company. It was the worst year we’ve had in the past decade. The thing is, we had absolutely no work from the very beginning of last year, and I was seriously freaked out…
The Final Day of the Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival | Looking Back on the Local Event
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Today is the final day of this year’s last cherry blossom festival! There are actually quite a few people out here, surprisingly. Even though the cherry blossoms have already turned into leafy branches, lol. There are so many rapeseed flowers blooming, it’s almost like a “Rapeseed Flower Festival”? lol. As usual, I’m having Iwakura yakisoba. Since I’m in civil engineering, I’m not really good with food and drink, so I’ll stick to what I’m good at—alcohol…
You Can See Progress Even With Just One Bolt | Developing Young Talent
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I was really happy to receive comments from developers about the flat cap the other day! By the way, as someone involved in development myself, I find that seeing new things like the flat cap is always a learning experience. Always…
Installing Load-Bearing Panels on Small Lots | Construction in Limited Spaces
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I suppose entrance ceremonies are being held all over today? In Iwakura City, Aichi Prefecture, a junior high school held its entrance ceremony. It’s pretty rare to have an entrance ceremony with absolutely no cherry blossoms, isn’t it? (lol) But anyway, here’s the installation of a load-bearing plate for self-drilling rock bolts on a narrow site. This is a follow-up to the previous post on installing load-bearing plates for self-drilling rock bolts…
Such Big Differences Based on Model Numbers | Selecting Construction Equipment
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m sure you’ve all had to look for a place to stay, like a ryokan, while traveling. These days, you probably start by searching online, right? Well, even though the place is listed online, when you actually call, you might hear, “The number you have dialed is no longer in service.” …
Homenya Sells Yakisoba at the Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival | Community Contribution
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m selling Iwakura yakisoba at the Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival again today. Being a vendor is actually pretty tough. I’m not used to standing on my feet this much or interacting with people all day, so it’s really hard! It’s a tough job for someone like me. Unfamiliar work is always a challenge. Iwakura yakisoba has a miso flavor…
