Drilling through clay and silt is harder than I expected.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’ve been doing dewatering drilling work for the past few days. I’ve been busy lately, so I’ve been heading out to the job site as an operator, but unlike in August, the temperatures have cooled down quite a bit, so it’s much easier on the body. This is the best time of year. Let’s stay safe out there! But enough of that…
Slope-construction workers have their own superstitions
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you know how slope construction workers eat their meals? This is a story I heard quite a long time ago. It’s something the foreman told me back when I was a rookie supervisor and would go out to job sites to work alongside the craftsmen. When eating rice with soup, …
I found a great product! (When used by an anchor operator, it allows for safe attachment and removal of the rod!)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you using this? This is a double wrench for rotary percussion tools. Regular double wrenches can be dangerous because they tend to fall off, but this one can be secured to the Exte side, so it absolutely won’t fall off. That’s why…
A wild idea: If we tweaked the Construction Career Up System (CCUS) card a bit more, wouldn't it become a card that people actually use?
皆さんこんにちは。 エンタです。 建設キャリアアップシステム（CCUS）やっていますか？ うちは今のところ使った事ありませんｗｗｗ まぁそれはそれで良いんですがもっと使えるカードにして欲しいと思い、どうすれば使えるのか？ を考…
”The Paradox of General Contractors: Pushing Tedious Work onto Subcontractors While Rushing to Serve the Client” (From "The God of Construction")
The Arrogance of General Contractors: “Just Pass the Troublesome Work Off to Subcontractors” This happened at a construction site for a general contractor I used to work for. I was in charge of construction management, and my job involved reviewing plans for upcoming projects with my supervisor and preparing the necessary documentation, such as progress inspections. So…
The Level 2 exam for Technical Intern Training Program participants is incredibly difficult!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m so damn busy it’s crazy… I really need someone to come help me out!! Anyway, the other day, our company held the Level 2 Technical Intern Training Program exam. It’s super hard! Both the scaffolding assembly test and the written exam! Just taking the exam…
If the machine is too low to place the concrete in the designated position, raise it!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’ve been carrying out drainage boring work in Shizuoka as part of landslide prevention measures for the past few days. You know how it is—even when the construction location is set, sometimes the machine is positioned too low to align with the drilling spot. In practice, we set it a bit lower and use scaffolding…
People who are capable and experienced don't say much!
皆さんこんにちは。 エンタです。 先日某大手ゼネコンの大事故有りました。 亡くなられた方は非常に残念です。 ご冥福をお祈りいたします。 詳しい経緯は今のところ分かりませんが、 毎日のように起こる事故を常に公に公開して周知して再発防止に努める…
As labor shortages intensify, we’re seeing more and more worksites where rates are high but staff is scarce!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’ve recently started taking on small scaffolding projects as well. Actually, there’s a reason for this—it’s simply because there aren’t any scaffolding contractors available, lol. For large projects, there’s usually enough money to secure one, but for small projects, the budget is tight…
