What Is Soil? (Part 2) | The Mechanism by Which Saturation Causes Surface Sliding
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. In light of the disaster in Shizuoka, I’d like everyone to learn a little more about soil. I’ll briefly explain why soil erodes. But enough of that—let’s talk about cliffs (for the general public). I’m continuing my series on cliffs for the general public, following up on my recent post. Professionals, please read…
About Cliffs (For the General Public)
Hello, everyone—especially those of you who aren’t involved in slope construction. This is Enta. This time, I’m writing for people who aren’t slope construction specialists or general contractors. Professionals, feel free to skip this one lol. When we contractors talk about “slopes,” we’re generally referring to cliffs (…

There was a time in the past when there were many former government officials working in the construction industry. Is that still necessary under the current bidding system??
Hi everyone, this is Enta. Does your company have any former employees? Well, when you hear “former employee,” do you think of someone from a major general contractor? The most common type is probably former government officials, right? (The so-called “amakudari” types, lol.) So, what do you think these “amakudari” former employees actually do…
The item most frequently stolen from construction sites right now is the full-body safety harness!!!
Hi, everyone. This is Enta. Have you noticed any thefts lately!? Apparently, full-body harnesses are the most commonly stolen items! They’re pretty expensive, after all! High-end models usually cost 50,000 yen or more!! We can’t do our jobs without them, so stealing them is just so stupid…

I try to fail a little bit every day.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went to a Japanese sushi restaurant with some technical intern trainees! Well, it was actually a conveyor-belt sushi place, lol. Apparently, they’re not big fans of salmon, abalone, or shrimp. They said the whelk was delicious, though. They were also fine with the miso soup. Overall…
Driving on the highway with adaptive cruise control is so much less tiring! Craftsmen, in particular, really need adaptive cruise control!!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The other day, I drove a ton lol. Roughly 830 km! I was seriously exhausted, but even so, I still have a little energy left to go home and work. Back in the day, I think I would’ve been completely wiped out. But the great thing about cars these days is that they don’t wear you out as easily!…
How to Set Goals on the Job (Part 2)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Picking up where we left off last time! Setting Goals on Site (Part 1): Setting the Right Goals. The targets set by management tend to be quite high. But that won’t work. So, what’s the right level? It’s best to set them just a little higher than eye level. For example, …
