When I get angry, I write it down! And then I erase it!

Measuring positioning errors during drilling is pointless, but it's a mandatory step!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you measuring positional deviations? The other day, during a final inspection, the inspector pointed out an issue with positional deviations to me.

We’re now in an era where you can choose your work style even within the same industry!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I wonder if one day we’ll look back and say, “Back in the day, we used to do construction like this!” lol. We used to call that “laminating and applying,” right? It’s ancient history now, but there are still a few people who do things like this, lol. &nbs…

People who are making plans are actually feeling anxious.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you getting organized for work? When it comes to work, we all need to get organized (prepare), and we usually take care of our own preparations, right?

Talking About the Costs of Inverse-Winding Construction

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you all busy? Things are kind of slow here, lol. It seems busy, but it’s not really that hectic—it just feels like we’re keeping things moving for now. Well, in the meantime, we’re steadily moving forward with our private-sector construction projects. As for this “leveling out” that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has been talking about for a while now…
