"Not Doing Something Just Because You Don't Like It Is Nonsense" | Slope Construction Specialist
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta. There are only a few days left in the year! People say that a lot, don’t they? Personally, though, it’s just a long holiday for me, lol. It’s not much different from usual, and like every year, I hardly ever leave the house. I guess this is the time of year to think about how I’ll spend the rest of the year…
Is the Generator's Capacity Sufficient? | Choosing a Generator
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You guys use generators, right? lol Well, that goes without saying. I brought the 60-kVA generator I just bought last month to the ground anchor job site. Electricity is essential on a job site, after all. How do you go about choosing a generator? …
Found a Great Product! (Clear Mold) | Sample Collection

A Thicker Cement Slurry Is More Effective | Tips for Mixing
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You know how you take test specimens (cement slurry) at job sites, right? Like for ground anchor work, rebar insertion, or piles. There are all kinds of projects, but when you’re making these test specimens, if they’re extremely soft, you just throw them away, right? lol But on the other hand, if they’re on the hard side…
The Incompetent Project Managers Pervading Construction Consulting Firms (From "The God of Construction")
Personnel Issues at Construction Consulting Firms In my previous article, “Issues at Construction Consulting Firms from a Construction Consultant’s Perspective,” I wrote about the challenges facing these firms.

Found a Great Product! (OKM-50L Water Flow Meter) | Grout Management
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you use water meters? Lately, I’ve been seeing them used quite often in ground anchor construction projects and for shotcrete work. I even tried using one at a job site I was working on the other day. The reason is that if the general contractor awards points for innovative ideas, I try to use them as much as possible…
