Since we have historical data, I think both the design and construction could be simplified even further.
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Check out this ground anchor. It’s got a real vintage vibe, doesn’t it? lol But this anchor is still going strong! It’s still holding up even after getting beaten up by a backhoe. lol Apparently, it’s been in the ground for about two years now, but this is the one…
Taking on new challenges right now is the key to securing my future!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s Pocky Day, isn’t it? (Not that it matters, lol.) By the way, are you guys trying anything new? For us, scaffolding—which we started last year—is our new thing, lol. The reason we got into scaffolding is because there aren’t any scaffolding companies around, lol. Even now, scaffolding companies…
The Era of Labor Shortages! Decide What to Cut Back on to Get By!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I held a briefing session on drain rock bolts last weekend, and personally, I’m just glad I was able to get it out there for now. To finish up one more perk for everyone who attended by the end of the month, I’ll be running around all over the place again this month, lol. It all comes down to the basics…
The Downsides of Being a Civil Engineering Civil Servant (From the Kamino Blog)
I previously wrote an article about the appeal (the good aspects) of being a civil engineer in public service. “What Is the Appeal of Being a Civil Engineer in Public Service?” October 6, 2024. In this post, I’d like to take the opposite approach and write about the “dark side” of the job—the downsides. Of course, there are differences depending on the government agency and department…
We’ve come to realize that we need a facility to train construction companies on how to perform the work!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went to check out a site for the first time in a while. On the way there, I suddenly thought, “Oh, I want a mountain!!” To put it simply, a training facility! It might sound scary when I put it that way, but it’s not like a forced-labor camp or anything—it’s more like something out of *Kaiji*…
We’re constantly researching and updating the standard construction methods we use on a daily basis!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. To everyone who attended the briefing on dewatering rock bolts—thank you so much. During the Q&A and discussion session, I heard opinions I hadn’t even considered, and I’d like to use them as a reference moving forward. This includes the creation of guidelines and refining the design…
Today is the briefing session on the dewatering rock bolt method!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’re holding an information session to recruit members for the Drainage Rock Bolt Method Research Group (tentative name)! Today’s session is all about the drainage rock bolt method!! We received applications from over 50 companies this time. We expect representatives from about 40 of those companies to attend. We regret to inform…
I think anyone involved in construction knows that reallocating construction costs is a common occurrence!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I saw a news article the other day reporting that Okumura-gumi had falsified construction costs, and that multiple instances were uncovered following an internal whistleblower report. I’m sure many of you are familiar with this, but to explain what it means: Let’s say there are two construction sites, A and B…
Those were the days when there were so few truckers that cement couldn't be delivered, causing delays at the construction site!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you guys use delivery services? These days, there aren’t any companies that’ll actually deliver cement—it’s gotten ridiculous, right?! They say, “It’s already on its way!” but they still haven’t shown up even after noon, lol. It’s like dealing with a soba shop… And then they finally show up…
