Slope Construction Work Begins for Technical Intern Trainees | Examples of Hiring Foreign Workers
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. This is the first time the technical interns have worked on a slope. We started with a slope safety training session—though they probably didn’t understand much of it—since it was their first time working on a slope. It’s faster to teach them on the job than through a lecture. And they pick things up quickly, too. With lectures, they usually can’t even understand the text in the manual…
Measures to Prevent Leaking Drilling Fluid from Escaping (Drain Holes) | On-Site Improvements
Hi everyone, this is Enta. It’s been super hot lately! It’s almost like, “Is it spring already?” Oh, wait—that’s just in western Japan, lol. We’ve been doing dewatering drilling for the past few days. And there’s a house right behind the drilling rig! With dewatering drilling, the drilling fluid ends up in the casing…
The Key Aspects of Construction | Slope Construction Expertise
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. As you probably know, I’ve been making little tweaks to the blog design here and there, and I’ve finally finished it. I started making major changes back in February, but since I couldn’t quite get it right, I’ve been quietly tweaking it here and there. However, I’ve finally designed a site I’m satisfied with…
The Lack of Full-Body Harnesses for Slope Workers | A Niche Market
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today, one of our employees was moving to Nagano, so I drove him there. During the ride, we got to talking about safety harnesses, and eventually the question came up: “What should we do about full-body harnesses?” Should we just buy a few from different manufacturers to try them out? Or should we stick with just one manufacturer? However, the conclusion…

Technical Interns Begin Work | Hosting and Training
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The technical interns are starting their work in earnest today. I’m using my Poketalk to make sure they understand what I want them to do. They’re a bit nervous, but they’re taking the initiative on their own. For now, I’m focusing on teaching them to work safely above all else. When I give the signal…
Communicating with Technical Intern Trainees | Overcoming the Language Barrier
Hi everyone, it's Enta. Today's update is a little late, lol. I usually schedule my posts the day before. I set them to go live at 8:00 a.m. But if I don't have time to write the day before, I post them later when I have time (or when I'm able to)...
Good Construction Makes Project Management Easier | Quality and Efficiency
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, we had our first substantial rain in a while, and it felt like all sorts of things got washed away! (Like the dirt from Hojiri, lol.) I’m still just as busy as ever, and even though it was just a one-day delay on a project with no set deadline… We’re struggling with a labor shortage, but things will turn out how they’re meant to, so I’m going to stay focused…
A Great Find (Chalkboard Markers) | Easy to Write With on Site
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I have a favorite type of chalkboard—the waterproof kind! Some of you might not be familiar with it, but in snowy regions, it’s used all the time. I first used one in Toyama a long time ago, and it’s been my go-to ever since. The chalkboard in the photo above is also a waterproof one, and…
