Drilling temporary drainage boreholes can prevent collapse in advance and provide ongoing protection against it!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Thanks to the heavy rain in Noto the other day, I was able to capture some really great footage. Take a look. Water is coming out from the top as well—this is the drainage pipe we installed as a safety precaution (we install these proactively as part of our service). It’s about 4 meters long. We drilled a 65-diameter hole and installed a perforated pipe…
Approaches to Material and Equipment Access Routes — Avoiding Mistakes in Mountainous Areas and Confined Sites
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. On slope construction sites and in mountainous areas, the “route for delivering materials and machinery” determines the success or failure of the project. If materials and machinery don’t reach the site, construction can’t begin. People often ask, “How are we supposed to get the materials and machinery to the site?” But without a plan…
Are Construction Sites During Vacations a Thief’s Paradise? Thinking About Security from a Thief’s Perspective
Hi everyone, it’s Enta. Is it Obon or a long vacation for you? I’m working, lol. This is just about right for me. While it’s a precious summer break for us, for thieves it’s a “perfect day to work,” lol. In fact, when I went to the job site after the break, all the materials had completely vanished… so…
Does Your Brain Go into "Shutdown" Mode After a Long Vacation? — Why Accidents Increase When It Takes Time to "Reboot" —
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s the long Obon holiday break. For some people, it’s 11 consecutive days off! For others, it’s a slightly shorter 9 days! Aaargh!!! But!! You were supposed to step away from the workplace and refresh both your mind and body—but when you return to work after the break, doesn’t it end up like this? “Um… what’s the plan for today…?”
The Day a Work Uniform with a Fan Turned into a Space Heater—A Tragedy That Befell a Construction Worker on a Midsummer Job Site—
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Man, this summer is crazy, isn’t it? I wonder if next year will be just the same?? Temperatures are over 35℃, and the humidity is stifling at over 70%. When it comes to a lifesaver in times like these… that’s right, work clothes with built-in fans. “As long as I have these, even summer job sites are comfortable!” Believing that, I headed out to the job site…

Material inspection is very important
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went to Joetsu City—a place that doesn’t get much rain—to check out a few things. And this coming from me, a bona fide “rain man.” I was just stopping by on my way from Nagano to Ishikawa. But the moment I entered Niigata, it started pouring down!! I really am a rain man, lol…
Construction Techniques for Cement Slurry Using Slow-Setting Water-Reducing Admixtures (This Will Give Your Construction Site Some Breathing Room)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. This sweltering heat just keeps on going, doesn’t it? My air-conditioned work clothes aren’t helping at all—I’m actually much more comfortable taking them off and wearing long sleeves. Wait until the temperature drops a bit before wearing air-conditioned workwear! It’s counterproductive when it’s over 35°C! The right way to prevent heatstroke on the job site. But enough of that—let’s talk about cement mills…
