Transparent construction management and transparent safety management instill a sense of security in others.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When doing ground anchor work or rebar installation, you put leftover grout and other materials into ton bags for disposal, right? When you do that, it usually looks something like this everywhere. We used to do it this way, too. No, wait…
I’m not sure if it’s okay to write about this in our industry, but since it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, I’ll go ahead and write about it (regarding rockfall prevention measures).
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. There’s a construction method I’ve been thinking about for a while—should I write about it here, or not? Well, I figured, “Oh well, why not?” so I’ll give it a try lol. This is the conventional “pocket-type” rockfall protection netting system. It’s commonly referred to as the “P-type,” right? (…
Heron's Kay is essentially out of service.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’ve been getting quite a few inquiries lately. They’re about the Heron’s Kay app we’ve released. It makes it really easy to draw technical drawings in Heron. There are Android and iOS versions, and the latest version includes…

The solution for water leaks in sprayed concrete is to use a rapid-setting agent, but that’s actually quite difficult.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Have you ever used a quick-setting agent? I think it’s often used in places where water seeps out on slopes. If you mix it while spraying, it sets in just a few seconds, so it comes in handy sometimes, doesn’t it? But it’s hard to mix properly, lol. Where should you mix it? Plastic…
Timing of Packer Injection
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. In ground anchor construction, we inject cement slurry into areas riddled with cracks (joints). But it just leaks out like crazy, so no matter how much slurry we have (I’ll just call it “slurry” from now on), it’s never enough lol. That’s where the packer comes in…
I went to hear a lecture at the Center for Research on a Prosperous Society!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I attended a seminar in Yokohama on infrastructure maintenance measures, construction methods, and their effectiveness. I went to hear from engineers at some well-known companies and professors from Yokohama University. I know you’re probably thinking, “A slope engineer?!” or “What does that have to do with this?!” but…
Do Helmets Really Cause Hair Loss? [The Problem of Thinning Hair on Construction Sites] (From the God of Construction)
For construction workers—such as construction managers and tradespeople who wear hard hats every day on job sites—rumors about hair thinning are a cause for concern. Since they must wear hard hats for long periods as part of their jobs, they worry about the effects on their scalps and hair. In this article, we’ll explore the reasons why people say wearing a hard hat causes baldness…
