Let's Boost the Economy Starting with the Construction Industry | Revitalizing the Industry
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. While the world is in a state of self-restraint due to the coronavirus, our slope stabilization industry seems largely unaffected and is continuing to operate as usual. This is especially true for slope construction projects, which are mainly carried out in mountainous areas. However, we need to be especially careful when going out to run errands…
Negative but Useful Information | From the Slope Specialists
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, at a meeting, I ended up being appointed chairperson of a small group. That got me thinking. Among the various people there, a few of them said things like, “This role is tough,” “It’s going to be a lot of work!” and “Are you sure you can handle it?” after the decision was made…

Is Construction ICT and i-Construction a Waste? | The Honest Opinions of General Contractors
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I received a request for a quote from a government office, but I was so busy that I completely forgot about it.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When you’re installing retaining walls, there are times when you run into a big gap in one spot and just don’t know what to do, right? For example, something like this. There’s a huge gap, and it doesn’t seem like you can bend the retaining wall to fit it. But it’s pretty deep. If you leave it alone, it might eventually collapse…
Drilling Limits with Spring Drills | Machine Performance
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Starting this week, I’ll be on-site too. Today, I’m basically the only one here, lol. That said, since we finished most of the preparations last week, I’ll just be doing light tasks like pulling hoses and swapping out tools. The actual heavy machinery move—a 130-metric-ton one—is scheduled for tomorrow…
