When inserting rebar, should the grout hose be left in place? Or should it be removed!?
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Following up on my post the other day, here’s another question I get asked a lot about rebar insertion work lol. Should the grout hose be left in place, or should it be removed? Actually, I’ve written about this before lol. Should the grout hose be removed? I get asked that so often…
Considering Whether to Pour Concrete in a Single Batch or in Separate Batches When Drilling Double-Pipe Holes for Rebar Installation
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Since I get asked about this often, I’d like to write about it again. “Grout Injection During Double-Pipe Drilling for Rebar Insertion.” I really get asked about this a lot!

Cement with a Cold
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was talking to a senior colleague from Kyushu (he’s a slope engineer), and he mentioned that “cement caught a cold,” which caused quite a hassle. That’s just common slang we slope engineers and civil engineers use, right? lol. “Cement caught a cold”—if an ordinary person heard that, they’d have no idea what it meant…

The Bond That Unites Companies and Employees | Building Trust in the Construction Industry
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’ve been digging a well at the construction site for a few days now, lol. As I’ve mentioned before, we’re installing a disaster-preparedness well.
