What is the trend in machinery these days?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’d like to share some thoughts that came to mind while talking with a manufacturer the other day. It’s about the demand for machinery today. Back in the day, machines were big and powerful. Nowadays, though, they’re compact and have moderate power. &nbs…
There are various hidden risks associated with hiring technical interns.
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s really muggy, isn’t it…? Once this season is over, summer will be here in a flash, and before we know it, it’ll be the end of the year. I mean, will there even be any work this year?? lol I heard that a few slope stabilization companies have gone out of business… It’s pretty bad that there’s so little work. But…
The mortar inside the frames of a frame-type structure not only prevents weed growth but also helps prevent scouring and facilitates water flow for rapid drainage.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Last week, I went to check out a job site in Nagano. We’ve been working on this project for several years now, and the finished product really looks great. Even though it’s our own company, we’re doing a great job, lol. It’s a site along a river, and I can’t help but wonder, “Do we really need to do this here??”…
I have been promoted from a regional member to a national member in the field of ground anchor engineering.

Just don't bring this one thing. It's a treat for the crew!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It won’t be long before heatstroke starts striking! Last year, with temperatures like a scorching inferno, people were dropping like flies all over the country, weren’t they? Two people in my family collapsed, too. They say it’s going to be even hotter this year! We’ve already had scorching days even before the rainy season… This year…
Learn the skills you can pick up in your free time, and practice for the big event!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. What do you guys do when you have free time? I’ve had an unusually lot of free time this year, so I guess I have no choice but to pick up some new skills. In my case, I have a lathe, so I’m using it to practice machining screws, lol. I’m currently on a business trip, so I’m teaching these kinds of things to the younger staff…
Rather than improving the materials used in ground anchor construction, I think it would be better to make the jacks lighter.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When it comes to ground anchor construction, which anchor material do you prefer? Is it easy to work with? Are there any areas you’d like to see improved? Currently, the associations Enta is a member of (where I can purchase materials) are the KTB Association, the Kowa Industry Group, VS…
Craftspeople Should Take Photos, Too!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Here’s a site we completed some time ago. Slope formwork + rebar insertion + ground anchor installation + mortar spraying—basically, we handled every aspect of the slope work on this site. It’s really moving to see each phase come to a close like this. At our company, whether a project is in progress or completed…
Reflections on the Current Situation of Technical Intern Trainees
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. After discussing various topics related to technical interns at different companies, I thought I’d write down some of my thoughts. I’ll list the questions I’m often asked by other companies. 1. How many interns are ideal right now? 2. Has anyone run away? 3. Do they actually work? 4. Ma…
