The Drilling Slime doesn't serve any purpose, so why collect it?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’ve been receiving calls from all over asking us to help out with emergency construction projects. While there are some things we can’t help—since we’re working under the main contractor’s schedule—we want to cooperate as much as possible. In those cases, we propose ways to shorten the construction schedule…
In the End, Communication Is the Root of Many Problems | Slope Specialists
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. For the past few days, I’ve been at my company in Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture, with a senior colleague I’ve known for over 20 years. On the way here, I heard an interesting story. He runs a fairly large general contractor firm, and that’s what we were talking about. His subordinates…
Rates for Leveling Material Installation Work | Cost Estimation Information
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I had a hard time figuring out which leveling mat to use under the load-bearing plate. It wasn’t on-site, but I was stuck because I didn’t know which mat was specified in the cost estimate. These days, there are quite a few types of leveling mats available to place under load-bearing plates…
Found a Great Product! This Is the Power Bank You Should Buy | Hozumiya
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You all use power banks, right? We were recently discussing which one is the best, so after doing some research, I’d like to introduce the one we decided is the best! Of course, since we’re construction workers, we need something that’s easy to carry around and doesn’t feel too heavy…
If a Politician Is Young, Their Thinking Is Young, Too | Mistakes and Expectations
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It looks like we’re getting another new Prime Minister. This is just my personal opinion, but first of all, I’d like to see a mandatory retirement age of 60 for politicians, so that pressure from those who’ve retired is rendered ineffective, lol. And I’d like to see the Cabinet limited to members aged 55 or younger, and the Prime Minister…
It doesn't suit me, I'm not good at it... A new option: "Focus only on what I can do" (The God of Construction)
The Number of Civil Engineers Working Independently Is on the Rise Lately, I’ve started checking out various people’s social media accounts. I’ve been following anyone who catches my interest one after another and keeping up with their posts. While doing so, something suddenly caught my attention. It was the fact that there are people who aren’t affiliated with any company but are working independently…
Complaints from the Field Also Stem from a Lack of Communication | Slope Construction Company
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been in Osaka for the past few days. Of course, I’m here for work (lol), but I’ve heard all sorts of interesting stories. Apparently, the construction site where that happened had alternating one-way traffic in place. They were eating bread there during lunchtime…
Even the Most Ordinary Things Cost Money | Slope Construction Company
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, I can’t stop thinking about pressure plates, lol. As I’ve been doing all these calculations, I’ve found myself wondering things like, “Why is this metal plate here?” or “Why is it this size?” It really makes you think. I wonder what the developers were thinking…
I Tried Making an Assembled Pressure Plate (Part 2) | Completion
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Here’s the load-bearing plate I prototyped and did a test assembly on the other day. It was installed like this at the job site the other day, but... This is the test assembly I did the other day. Don’t you think something’s off? It’s a mistake that happened even though I pointed it out—there are six bolts on the bottom and four on the top, and the top steel plate…
