Slope Maintenance Drone

Is that drone registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism? If it isn't registered, you can't use it!

皆さんこんにちは。 エンタです。 皆さんの会社でもドローンって使用していますよね? ところでそのドローンの登録終わっていますか?   登録が終わっていない100g以上のドローンは飛行させる事が出来無くなります! そしてその登録も今…

Machine Maintenance
2022/06/14

The machine maintenance is almost complete—now we're just waiting to head out to the job site!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Since I figure I might as well put my spare time to good use, here’s my tire shovel—which has been in active service for over 20 years and just recently underwent a full overhaul! I replaced every worn-out part, and the engine runs like a dream now! I replaced all the pins and bushings, so there’s hardly any play…

Keeping conversations to a minimum helps ensure smooth communication at work.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I took a moment to think about the kind of boss I used to think, “Man, I really can’t stand this one,” back when I was younger. —————————&#…

Temporary Anchor
2022/06/12

Challenging projects are definitely more fun!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. A project that took three years has finally wrapped up, lol. It was a temporary anchor installation job, and it was quite a challenge. Year 1: We started construction but couldn’t proceed due to a design error, so Enta redesigned it and re-installed the first and second tiers. 1.5 years in: A major design…

Bill of Exchange
2022/06/11

The more retained earnings a company has, the more financial flexibility it has to meet payments to its prime contractor!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Man, I’ve been super bored up until this week, but things are finally starting to pick up next week. It’s about time. This year really is unusual, isn’t it? If things keep going like this, companies are really going to start going out of business one after another! We need to find a way to use web systems effectively to avoid this kind of situation…

Weather resistance

What the heck is weather resistance?!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Continuing from last time, here’s the leveling mat used on the underside of the load-bearing plate. The truth about its weather resistance has finally come to light! lol Claims that it’s “weather-resistant” have hardly been verified at all! However, as for cross-linked polyethylene, it is weather-resistant…

"1.24 m³ of sand for sprayed mortar work?" (Regarding the mix design)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The figure 1.24 m³ has been used for a long time in applications like sprayed mortar, hasn’t it? People often ask me, “What does 1.24 m³ of sand mean?” These days, the standard mix ratio is simply listed as 1:4 for sprayed mortar. (Recently, the mix ratio has been…

Safety First

Preparation Period for National Safety Week

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s that time of year for safety meetings, isn’t it…? Safety is important, but it’s actually quite a hassle for those of us who have to attend. Especially for us subcontractors—since we have to go to each of our prime contractors’ safety meetings, we end up hopping from one to the next day after day. There’s no time of year when I hate safety more than right now! lol Well, starting this year…

Construction Industry in Crisis Due to Delays in Public Works Contracts | The Unprecedented Situation in 2022

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m starting to get a little tired of maintaining machinery, aren’t I? My machines are getting cleaner and cleaner! That’s all well and good, but there just aren’t any public works projects these days! Where have all the public works projects gone? The other day on Twi…
