Boost Your Sleep Quality | Health Management

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’ve been sleeping fine lately, but I still feel a little sluggish, so I bought this. It’s a supplement made by a major company! Well, to be honest, I actually really like supplements lol. I’m going to keep trying things for three months, and if they don’t work, I’ll just keep cutting them out. Human experimentation…

A Construction Site Thief Strikes! | Theft Incident

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, we got hit at our job site! They stole 100 meters of high-end 100V cable, 40 meters of high-end air hose, a high-end waterproof switch, and more! lol Since these are all high-end items, the total value comes to around 200,000 yen. Of course, we reported it to the police. …

Learn How to Prevent Heat Stroke! On-the-Job Knowledge for Recognizing Symptoms in Colleagues and Taking Action

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s about time for the peak of heatstroke season! Are you taking any precautions? Air-conditioned clothing is an option, too. (It’s all the rage these days.) We got some a few years ago, but people with strong preconceptions just refuse to use it, saying they can’t use something like that, and it ended up sitting unused…

How Site Supervisors Should Take Photos (Part 2) | Practical Techniques

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Since my photography tips were well-received (by a very small number of people, lol), I thought I’d write about the absolute basics of photo management. Everyone has their own unique style when it comes to photography, so there’s a good chance these tips won’t work for everyone. However, just because they don’t work for you doesn’t mean you should dismiss them…

Slope Stabilization Work That Cannot Be Seen | Underground Section

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I went out to check on the site the other day. Well, it’s a slope we’re scheduled to start work on next month, but more than that, I found something incredibly interesting!! It’s evidence that mortar was sprayed on top of the existing sprayed mortar! The cross-section of the newer mortar is actually pretty clean, and well…

Waterproofing (Part 2) | Case Studies

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’d like to introduce a chemical that solidifies from the inside to prevent internal pressure from building up. The chemical I’ve been using nonstop for waterproofing lately is Hi-Cell OH-9X. By the way, I hear “OH” is pronounced “Oh-ha” lol. As for how this works…

Water Stopping (Part 1) | Technical Explanation

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you think it’s easy to shut off a water supply that’s about eight times the normal flow rate? If you think about it normally, you’d probably say it’s difficult, right? And that’s without using any chemicals or anything. I feel a little bad that I’ve been posting nothing but water shutoff topics lately, but recently…

Could You Become a Waterproofing Specialist? | Diversification in the Slope Stabilization Industry

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’ve gotten pretty used to water stoppage now, lol. Since we’re short-staffed at Enta, I’m also doing construction management on-site, and I’m handling the water stoppage right behind the drilling crew. I’ve gotten pretty used to it. I’m starting to be able to stop the water even when it’s gushing out like this…

Quotes Exceeding Market Rates | Pricing

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of work referred to us by our general contractor, but it’s actually kind of a hassle, lol. The reason is that the work comes our way because the general contractor’s site supervisor isn’t available, but most of these are small jobs. The reason is that it gets expensive when a major contractor does the work…
