New! Enta's Slope Management Schoolis an information site dedicated to slope construction, by slope construction professionals, and for slope construction professionals.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, while talking with someone, I heard something that really made me go, “Ah, I see,” and I could totally relate. It was about paperwork—and for us in the public works sector, paperwork is just part of the job, isn’t it? Before construction begins, there’s the construction plan; during construction, there are meeting minutes, monthly progress reports, safety documents…

Site Supervisors and Tradespeople Tend to Fall Out—How many times have I witnessed a site supervisor and a foreman arguing on a construction site? Site supervisors and tradespeople tend to fall out very easily on the job site. People in the industry probably think this is unavoidable given their respective positions. However, when it comes to construction management engineers and…

Hello, everyone. It's Enta. I did it! That thing, lol. It's a 2m² cedar board, lol. The inside slopes toward the center to prevent water from pooling, and there's a 2-inch hole in it. If you look from below, can you see the 2-inch hole at the tip? I'll attach an L-shaped bracket here to extend it outward...

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today’s post has absolutely nothing to do with slope stabilization or the construction industry, but I just wanted to share a little bit of information. Do you guys take supplements often? I take this one, too. It’s called “theanine,” and it’s a supplement that helps you wake up feeling refreshed. It’s made of amino acids…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, an article was published based on a flash report from Teikoku Databank. It was about the bankruptcy of a major construction company in Kyushu. Ultimately, the reason was ties to antisocial forces. This is the first time I’ve seen an article like this since I’ve been in this industry. Have any of you heard about this…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today’s topic is drainage pipes. I’d like to write about a common misconception among drainage well drillers. Well, generally speaking, rain falls from above, lol. In the mountains, water seeps in from above in some areas and flows in from far away in others, but this time I’ll focus on water coming from above…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. How are you planning to prevent heatstroke this summer!? The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare’s website states, “Compared to when you’re not wearing a mask, wearing one can put a strain on your body by increasing your heart rate, respiratory rate, blood carbon dioxide levels, and perceived temperature.” It says…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Did you notice? There’s a job posting on the right side of the PC screen!! lol I’m planning to post it at the public employment office next week, too. I’m also thinking about posting a job opening here on Enta soon. (The details are the same as on the page.) That’s the business…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Have you seen this before? If you specialize in mountain engineering, you probably don’t see it very often, but it’s used quite a bit in urban civil engineering for slope stabilization anchors, and it’s also used quite a bit in marine civil engineering. I’ve only used this once myself. This will be my second time…
