Equipment Lifespan | The maximum replacement interval for slope-use main ropes is one year
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s gotten a little cooler, so it’s become easier to work, hasn’t it? This time of year is the absolute best for working! It’s just right when it’s a little chilly!

If the ground doesn't have sufficient bearing capacity, the load will be transferred elsewhere.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. How did the typhoon treat you? There’s been damage in various areas, but since the ground is still unstable, let’s be extra careful as we work.

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…
Reasons Why Productivity in the Construction Industry Isn't Improving (From the God of Construction)
Intimidating Words and Actions That Persist Even in the Reiwa Era Many people are likely racking their brains over how to improve productivity in the construction industry.
