We’ve come to realize that we need a facility to train construction companies on how to perform the work!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went to check out a site for the first time in a while. On the way there, I suddenly thought, “Oh, I want a mountain!!” To put it simply, a training facility! It might sound scary when I put it that way, but it’s not like a forced-labor camp or anything—it’s more like something out of *Kaiji*…
The Actual Installation Location for Ground Anchor Work Is... Not What I Expected! (Part 2)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The actual installation location for ground anchors is... not what you’d expect! (Part 1) This is a continuation of the previous post. Do you know a method to quickly eliminate variations caused by tension? What kind of variations, you ask? Well...
We’re constantly researching and updating the standard construction methods we use on a daily basis!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. To everyone who attended the briefing on dewatering rock bolts—thank you so much. During the Q&A and discussion session, I heard opinions I hadn’t even considered, and I’d like to use them as a reference moving forward. This includes the creation of guidelines and refining the design…
The Actual Installation Location for Ground Anchor Work Is... Not What I Expected! (Part 1)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you know the actual location of ground anchors? Huh? You’re probably thinking, “What are you talking about?” lol. As a construction manager, you measure the anchor installation location based on layout tolerances, right? But layout tolerances only apply to the final head position…
Today is the briefing session on the dewatering rock bolt method!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’re holding an information session to recruit members for the Drainage Rock Bolt Method Research Group (tentative name)! Today’s session is all about the drainage rock bolt method!! We received applications from over 50 companies this time. We expect representatives from about 40 of those companies to attend. We regret to inform…
I think anyone involved in construction knows that reallocating construction costs is a common occurrence!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I saw a news article the other day reporting that Okumura-gumi had falsified construction costs, and that multiple instances were uncovered following an internal whistleblower report. I’m sure many of you are familiar with this, but to explain what it means: Let’s say there are two construction sites, A and B…
Those were the days when there were so few truckers that cement couldn't be delivered, causing delays at the construction site!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you guys use delivery services? These days, there aren’t any companies that’ll actually deliver cement—it’s gotten ridiculous, right?! They say, “It’s already on its way!” but they still haven’t shown up even after noon, lol. It’s like dealing with a soba shop… And then they finally show up…
Taking good care of your tools and keeping them clean contributes to the company’s profits, which in turn benefits you.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Everything provided by the company is the company’s property. Back in the day, craftsmen had to pay out of pocket for safety harnesses and other equipment. (I’m sure there are still companies that do that today.) At Enta, the company provides everything. And when you leave the company…
How to Remove Prestressed Steel Cables from Temporary Anchors That Won't Come Out
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. There always comes a time when you have to remove the temporary anchors after installing them (lol) (once the main construction work is complete). To pull them out, we use either a crane or a backhoe (BH). However, there are times when they still won’t come out. &nbs…
