Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Is it hard to interact with younger people? How do you think we should go about it? I’d like to share my own approach here. The basic idea is: “Let’s try to remember what it was like when we, as older guys, were 20!” So…
Please enjoy the Vietnamese-language version of the video on how to make cement slurry.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve finished the Vietnam-themed version of the “Cement Milk” video I shot the other day, so please take a look. Well, it might be hard to understand just from this, so next time I’ll shoot a more in-depth video! I want technical interns from Vietnam and other countries to understand…
It’s also important to be aware of the risks associated with a particular region as indicated by its kanji characters.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I came across an article online that said you should be careful of place names containing this particular word, so I thought I’d share it with you. I think it was probably originally published in a magazine somewhere. I thought it was hard to read as is, so I transcribed it. …
There are limits to how much you can boost productivity and generate profits without working overtime!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, a young doctor who committed suicide after working 100 consecutive shifts and putting in over 207 hours of overtime in a single month was recognized as having died from a work-related injury, and the hospital director and others were referred to prosecutors.

There are five things you must do before starting a new type of construction work!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you prepare an actual construction budget? For those who’ve never done it before, the idea of creating an actual budget can be a bit confusing, right? People who start out working for a slope stabilization contractor and later go into business for themselves usually begin as part of a construction crew. In the past, it was rare for people to start out in construction management…
Ways to Make the Workplace More Fun
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other night, we had a Japan Society of Civil Engineers get-together, lol. Well, it was basically a drinking party for civil engineers (Spazene + local civil engineers + slope engineers)—it was a ton of fun, lol. It really is more fun to drink without any company ties! Anyway, design consultants generally don’t consider constructability and such. Construction…
The times might not allow for it, but people who work hard are more likely to be rewarded!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. These days, with all the work-style reforms, it’s become hard to actually get any work done. Are you working? lol Back in our day as young guys, we could work as much as we wanted. That’s why there are so many middle-aged guys who are really good at their jobs and know a thing or two about everything. But these days, young people…
By planning ahead, preparing in advance, and reporting regularly, you can prevent risks from turning into problems!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, someone I had an appointment with didn’t show up at the scheduled time, and since I had no idea how late they’d be, I waited for an hour and then went home lol. Obviously, the most important thing about a meeting is showing up on time, but I suppose there are bound to be some hiccups along the way. So…
