Galvanized Cable Ties Are the Safe Choice | Choosing Materials
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was doing a cost estimate for a project commissioned by a city. The design was so unusual that I actually had to ask the city official in charge, “Are you sure this is correct?” It made me realize that designs like this still exist these days. Since the bidding process hasn’t started yet, I can’t go into details…
Even After Closing a Deal, There's Still More to Do | Continuing Sales Efforts
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, I’ve been getting requests for cost estimates and design work from city hall and construction consulting firms. It’s great that they’re coming in, but even though they’re marked “urgent,” they often don’t specify the soil conditions or provide any requirements… Late at night, I find myself thinking, “How am I supposed to do this?!”…

The Head of an Existing Anchor Is Abnormal (Part 1) | Inspection Case Study
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day at a job site, I found an existing anchor that had ended up looking like this. The anchor had been set into the formwork. Even though I may not look like it (though I have no idea what I actually look like, lol), I’m a pro, so I figured it out right away. That said, this kind of thing…
Not "N-Country," but "Deer Prefecture" Is a Real Problem | Wildlife Damage Issues
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Last night, I messed up at a drinking party for the first time in a while! lol. Here’s what happened: I went out for drinks with a client, but I accidentally fell asleep right in front of them at the second bar! I’ve been drinking too much lately, and I’d stayed up late the night before as well, but falling asleep like that was definitely rude, wasn’t it…
Stories of Civil Engineering Structures | Documentation and Preservation
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went to check out a slope a bit far away! On my way back, I discovered an incredible slope that looked just like something out of *Laputa*! It’s an on-site formwork system. This is the type of slope formwork where you build the formwork and pour fresh concrete into it. It’s quite an old system. Why…
Tips for Temporary Anchors (Earth Scaffolding and Drilling Locations) | On-Site Decision-Making
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I get asked a lot about the height of earth-retaining walls using temporary anchors. I really do get asked that a lot! I wonder if few people know the answer, or if they just forget it right away? lol I’m going to explain the height of earth-retaining walls using temporary anchors. First, what does a core drill do…
I Tried Using a Winch Box (Spring Drill)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I tried out the winch box I built a while back! What do you think? It looks great, doesn’t it!! If you use a longer single pipe, you can pull it even closer. If you loosen the pipe clamp at the base just a little, the winch can apply force in the direction…
