Log Loaders and Cableways | The Role of Forestry Machinery in Civil Engineering Slope Construction
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Have you ever heard of a skidder? Well, I guess they’re common in civil engineering? They’re also common in forestry, right? Basically, they’re machines used in forestry to haul felled timber from distant locations to a point where it can be loaded onto trucks or other vehicles. The latest skidders…
You'd better start getting ready soon, or you won't make it in time. Please take precautions against heatstroke.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s gradually getting hotter, isn’t it? How are your summer preparations coming along? The other day, I was talking to someone from the local government office, and they were wearing a cooling vest with a Peltier element. So, when I asked, “How’s it going?” they just said, “Hmmmmmm…”
I hope good safety rules will spread rapidly across the country, but I hope “flashy safety” will disappear.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Safety meetings are being held all over the place, aren’t they? Some are great, and others make you go, “Huh?” lol. Well, that’s just my personal opinion, though. Even though they seem to be held for the public, they’re really all for the benefit of our own company. But as a construction company, we have to deal with all kinds of general contractors…
Construction Methods for Technical Intern Trainees (Part 2): Lath Installation
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Here’s the next part of the construction manual for interns and foreign workers. I’m writing it up like this for now, but I wonder if it would be better to print it neatly on A4 paper? I’m thinking about what would be most convenient, but since I can’t spend that much time on it right now, I’ll just leave it as is for now... Who…
You can't just cut corners when it comes to legal loopholes!!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’ve been working on concrete projects lately, so I’m super sensitive to the weather lol. “Will we be able to pour the concrete!?” “If we can’t pour it here, the schedule will be in trouble…” I’m thinking all this while I’m doing paperwork at the office lol. Anyway, the other day at a job site, there was one thing that was just a disaster…
There is pressure to meet quotas, even if it means breaking the rules.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Does your company set sales quotas for you? When there are quotas, don’t people tend to fudge the numbers? lol Especially at big companies—are they tied down by quotas? Or are they forced to set targets?? lol “Quotas” and “targets” are similar…
Construction Methods for Technical Intern Trainees (Part 1): Slope Cleaning Work
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do technical interns know what kind of construction work they’re involved in and what exactly they’re doing? I suspect that very few interns have a clear understanding of this. I’m writing this to help them understand it clearly and easily…
Results of Applying the Mormudam Method to Ganta Piling in Kanagawa Prefecture
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. There are tons of Ganta-style masonry projects (using the Moldam method) in Kanagawa Prefecture. We used the Moldam method for the last Ganta-style masonry project! It looked something like this, right? The angle of the photo isn’t great, but this gives you the general idea. The Ganta-style masonry in Kanagawa Prefecture is also rock-solid…
Results of My Investigation into Shortcuts, Sloppy Work, and Construction Defects in Slope Construction (Part 4)
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s June!!! It’s already June!!! Only half the year is left, lol. I think this every year, but it feels like the days are just passing by without me accomplishing anything… Anyway, the rainy season is coming, so I need to get ready for that, and I also need to get ready for summer…
