We Want to Nurture Future Slope Engineers Through Hands-On Work Experience | Emergency Construction
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today is Sunday, and it’s a long weekend, but our employees are working. They’re working on Sunday.

It’s Finally Here! The Onset of Presbyopia | A Slope Maintenance Worker Over 40
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Even though I’m 40, I actually didn’t feel that old! I mean, I have a good memory, and my legs and back aren’t too bad. I thought my muscle strength was decent (though my belly is a bit of a problem). And I don’t have presbyopia yet. But…

Getting Energy from Young Employees | A Growth Phase Where I Eat Three Bowls of Rice
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went out for yakiniku with some of our employees. Of course, there are employees who couldn’t make it due to work commitments, but I try to go with everyone as much as possible.

Repairing Spray Machine Outlets | Take Action Before They Wear Thin and Develop Holes
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’m a little late with today’s blog post, lol. Things have calmed down a bit, so it looks like I might have some free time. I’d love to really dive into equipment maintenance during this time of year, but since a lot of job sites are wrapping up earlier than scheduled, that ends up being a real pain, lol. So, for a while…
3,000 Attacks Per Week on the Slope Construction Company's Website | The Importance of IT Literacy
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, there’s really been a surge in malicious traffic to our company’s website, lol. The image below shows the traffic analytics data for our website.

Nothing Beats Experience and a Track Record | Delivered 3 Metric Tons on the Steepest Slope to Date
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It seems we’ve gotten past those “It’s freezing!” days, and today feels a little warmer than it did the other day. At the job site I went to the other day, we unloaded a 3-metric-ton machine on a slope with the steepest incline I’ve ever seen lol. People can’t even walk on the scaffolding! Normally, I guess…
