Construction workers are ranked number one on the list of the lowest-status jobs, but civil engineering is the best!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Construction workers have recently been ranked number one on a list of “lowest-status jobs” that’s been trending online. What do you all think about that? After all, from other people’s perspective, our work is seen as dirty work, isn’t it? Even if they call it a “lowest-status” job, well…

Maybe all a middle-aged man needs is a few friends and some hobbies.

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta. The other day, I did a little work in Tokyo, but the rest of the time was just for fun lol.

Aren’t safety patrols becoming too focused on nitpicking, to the point where ensuring the safe progress of work on-site is being neglected?

In ground anchor construction, wouldn't it be possible to minimize risks by ensuring that the grouting of the free length is done more thoroughly than that of the anchorage section?

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you know what this is? The distinctive feature is the circular pattern leading toward the center, right? This is pressure-cured concrete, which was hardened while under pressure. (I’ve shown this before, lol.) The cement slurry from the packer goes inside…

Accidents are more likely to happen right before long holidays!!

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The Obon holiday starts this weekend!! This year, it lasts about a week. I hear some people get as much as 10 days off...
