The Construction Industry: Building a Future, and New Year’s Eve | The State of Machinery Maintenance

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I finished tidying up the area in Nagano, and it looks really nice with all the machines lined up like that. The engine gun in the foreground is in pretty rough shape, so I’ll be servicing it next year. Of course, we’ll do the maintenance in-house, lol. This machine is pretty much always out on loan… So it’s no surprise it’s already starting to act up…

Important Things to Do Before Construction Begins (Part 1) | Year-End Cleaning and Organizing

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s business as usual today, lol. I’m slowly working through the quotes and proposals that have been piling up since last week, and I’m thinking I might clean my room a bit. Well, I’ve always been this way—I don’t do things like cleaning just because it’s the end of the year, lol. I just do it all at once when I get around to it…

Living as Usual | “I Can’t Make It Through the New Year”: Money Management

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I thought, “The New Year’s break must be starting today!” but, as expected, there are still people working on-site! Thank you for your hard work. When deadlines are tight, it’s unavoidable to give up your days off, isn’t it? Stay safe!! Around this time of year…

"Go to the Construction Site," an Information Portal for the Construction Industry | Enhancing the Image of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Last night, I attended a year-end party in Nagano. As expected, all that drinking really takes it out of you, lol. I feel like I’m about to catch a cold from all the alcohol. Please take care not to catch a cold yourselves. But anyway… Have you heard of “Let’s Go to the Construction Site”? “Let’s Go to the Construction Site”…

The Era of Glowing Helmets! Tanizawa Manufacturing's 360-Degree LED Attachment

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s been extremely cold lately! On days like this, just lift some cement from the bottom up! Just doing that alone warms you right up, doesn’t it? lol Even on snowy days, lifting cement keeps you nice and warm, lol. But it’s always cold during surgery, so be careful not to make any sudden movements…

How to Read a Dial Gauge | Understanding Measurement Results on Site

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. This week feels like a final push to wrap up the year—it’s our year-end party, lol. We’ve got cleaning to do, too, but if you just do a little bit at a time throughout the year, you wouldn’t even need to do a big year-end cleanup, right? That’s right! I know that, too, but I just can’t seem to do it…

In the end, it's just the super general contractors, right? | At the Top of the Construction Industry

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Just like the other day, I’d always thought that Christmas started on Christmas Eve. But apparently, Christmas Eve actually refers to the night of Christmas itself, lol. “The eve of Christmas Eve”? The meaning and origin you need to know to avoid embarrassment! Well, I guess it doesn’t really matter, though…

In the End, It's All About Thoughtfulness | Playing Santa at a Local Christmas Event

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s Christmas Eve, isn’t it? The other day, I took part in a local event where we handed out presents to kids. I’ve played both Santa and a reindeer in the past. Playing Santa, in particular, is unbearably hot, lol…

The Key to Flow Meters! | How to Use Chemical Injection and Anchor Systems

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’m in a bind because I don’t have any material unless I go out to the field… I’ll have to come up with something based on these photos! lol Anyway, moving on… Do you know what this is? lol Well, it’s what’s commonly called a flow meter. Back in the day, flow meters were pretty big and heavy, and a real hassle to deal with. Nowadays…
