Why It's Important to Install Formwork Level (Horizontal) When Using the On-Site Spray Method
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. How do you install curbs? You might be wondering what I mean by that—do you install them according to the road’s slope, or do you install them strictly horizontally? The answer is that, regardless of the road’s slope, they should always be installed horizontally…
We have entered an era where companies are expected to handle both construction management and construction at the same time.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, I’ve been swamped with preparing estimates and cost calculations for upcoming projects. I’m truly grateful to have a general contractor who entrusts me with this kind of work—it’s a real pleasure. It seems there’s quite a bit of availability among slope stabilization contractors in the Tokai region these days. I’ve been hearing from various people around me that work is scarce, so I’d like to lend a hand…
Experiencing new things can spark something new! That’s why experience is everything!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. If something breaks, I can just make the parts myself. As for the cylinder I mentioned the other day, I’ve finally finished it. I welded this part. It looks like this. I set this up on the lathe, centered it, and cut the threads. I used a diamond…
I have a feeling 2024 is going to be a pretty tough year for the construction industry!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We recently wrapped up a project at a site in Nagano. The work involved slope reinforcement, ground anchor installation (load-bearing plates), and drainage boring. Well, it was the full slope-stabilization package, lol. Since we were a second-tier subcontractor, we weren’t responsible for site management. It felt good…
Even if it breaks, I can just make the parts myself.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I asked one of our technical interns to replace the seal on a cylinder that was leaking oil! The threaded part is stripped... This is the result of me telling them over and over again to be careful and do it carefully and thoroughly... With special parts like this, anyway...
We are offering drilling technology capable of responding to the Noto Peninsula earthquake—free of charge! (Please share this!)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today, I’d like to introduce the disaster preparedness well we’ve installed at our place. It’s set up like this. There are two more PVC pipes in the back; actually, we designed it so that a portable fire pump can be installed there as well. I wasn’t able to film that part this time…
"Ask Enta-san" has been updated on Isabou Net!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, the Isabou Net site was updated. It’s the “Ask Enta” section on the banner on the right of Isabou Net lol. This was back when I was about 6 kg heavier than I am now. (Totally unrelated!) Plus, it was freezing cold that day due to a cold snap, and I was working on the Go-Da Development project…
I think that working as a subcontractor for a major company is, in a sense, quite a challenge.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was talking with a local general contractor. During our conversation, we got onto the topic of the quality of site supervisors (lol). Of course, the skill levels of the workers vary widely too... But when local contractors decide whether to subcontract work to major companies, the number one factor is peace of mind, right...
