Protecting Your Eyes from the Invisible
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s suddenly gotten a little cooler now that we’re into September. The other day I wrote, “It’s only three months left, right?,” but it turns out it’s actually four months left (lol). Anyway, do you know what safety goggles are for? (lol) Well, if you think about it, they’re for protecting against flying stones and grout splatter…
“Ten job sites, ten different stories?” You never know what’s going to happen. That’s why job sites are so interesting! (From the God of Construction)
An Interesting Scene at a Retaining Wall Construction Site I’m currently working as a construction foreman and CAD operator at a road construction site. It’s a large site with an incredibly wide variety of trades. I took this assignment thinking, “I’ll probably get to see just about every aspect of road construction here.” Right away at that site, I came across an interesting scene…
Effective Construction Methods for Disaster Sites and Sites at High Risk of Collapse or Requiring Immediate Action
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you putting your creativity to work? I’ve been thinking lately about how rebar installation is carried out at disaster sites. Even during recovery efforts, there are many sites where parts of the structure have collapsed or caved in, aren’t there? In situations like that, the construction plan…
Found a great product! (Fuel additive for diesel engines)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s September! Only three months left in the year!! I’ve barely done any work, and yet there are only three months left!!! I don’t think I can make up for lost time, but I’m going to push forward full steam ahead. Let’s spend these last three months moving at a brisk pace—but staying extra safe! Anyway…
Simply by preventing trees from growing on slopes, you can reduce the risk of cracks and landslides!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Did you know that if you can limit the growth of trees and other vegetation during sprayed mortar and formwork construction, it can help prevent cracks and collapse? With construction methods that don’t use formwork—such as the Unit Net Method or the Non-Frame Method—the trees growing on the natural ground…
The sweltering summer heat can even fry small electric appliances!
Hi everyone, it’s Enta. You all use small power tools, right? lol This one bit the dust at a job site the other day. I’d been using it for about two years—it’s a drill for setting hole-in-anchors. Makita 18V Cordless Hammer Drill, 17mm SDS …
I've hardly ever had any success repairing cracks!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m sure you’ve all tried repairing cracks in slopes before, but have you ever managed to fix them perfectly? From my own experience, I’ve never been able to do it. No matter how many times I repair them, cracks always reappear in the exact same spot. Ugh…
When I cut out the box from the void in the sprayed-on frame, the inside was completely empty!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been working on a rebar insertion project for the past few days—do you know what “pre-drilling” is? It’s the process of drilling holes in advance to make it easier to drill during rebar insertion or ground anchor installation. It varies depending on the site, but as shown in the photo above…
The speed at which one can efficiently reach a worksite or destination
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It was hot again yesterday, wasn’t it?! Stepping out of the car feels like getting drenched—it’s truly hellish! I just can’t make it through without my air-conditioned work suit anymore, lol. And today is scorching hot again! Lately, the two of us have been drilling holes for rock bolts and doing the grouting at the job site, but…
