Happy New Year 2026! Let’s make this a year in which we hone our skills and do even more to protect Japan’s slopes!
Happy New Year! Thank you very much for reading this blog throughout the past year. In 2026, our academy will further accelerate our efforts to “transform on-site wisdom into technology and improve our ability to communicate it.” The work of slope management—which protects our nation’s land from increasingly severe disasters—is…
Thank you for your hard work in 2025! To everyone who helps ensure slope safety,
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Thank you all so much for your hard work this past year! And thank you very much for joining us again this year at the “New Enta Slope Management Seminar.” Looking back on 2025—with its torrential rains and sweltering heat—as someone involved in slope management…
Let's cover up our flaws and really highlight our strengths!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Have you been tidying up? I’ve been cleaning out my work desktop PC for the past few days. It’s a good idea to clean out your computer regularly, so I’m giving it a thorough overhaul for the first time in about three years. Also…
As we use AI to perform complex calculations, software will gradually disappear from the world.
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Lately, I’ve been writing nothing but about AI, lol. Right at the end of the year, lol. The more I research AI and the more I tinker with it, the more I realize just how incredibly stupid it is. And yet, when it comes to past memories and past results, it’s a true genius. …
The New Year's break starts today! Focus on something you don't usually do and recharge!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Well, it’s the New Year’s break!!! How was your year? Did you wrap up work for the year properly? lol Even though they say you shouldn’t carry over the good or the bad into the next year, if you just think of it as a long holiday that happens to fall right across the month, people might say it lacks a certain charm, lol…
Could it be that the days of needing an actual budget for slope construction are over!?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been working on all sorts of things lately, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t need to worry about the budget anymore!—at least that’s what I’ve decided on my own, lol. For a while, I used to think, “Isn’t the real thrill of being a site supervisor supposed to be about the money?” In fact, I still think that way. But that’s a different story…
Words Engineers Should Never Say (From the God of Construction)
A Phrase I Absolutely Never Want to Use As an engineer, there’s one phrase I absolutely never want to use. That phrase is “It’s impossible.” How do you handle unreasonable requests? A request that seems unreasonable to us may be exactly what the other party is hoping for. Impossible…
I've tried to explain the three states in limit state design in a way that's a little easier to understand.
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s Christmas, isn’t it? lol It’s not really my thing—or rather, it has absolutely nothing to do with me. But my kids are asking me for money… Rather than the distraction of presents, they just want cash… It’s a tough world out there. But anyway…
Are we entering an era where we no longer need to consider construction budgets or cost accounting?
皆さんこんにちは。 エンタです。 先日から原価計算を教えてる為のちょっとした教材作っていたんです。 イマドキなので当然AI使って表を作ったりしているんです。 が、困った事にこれ以外のモノが作り上がってしまい、困りました。 &n…
