Here's How to Address Existing Retaining Walls (Stone Masonry, Cliffs, and Collapsed Slopes) in Residential Homes! (Part 1) (For the General Public)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today’s topic is retaining walls. I’d like to write about remedial measures for private homes—something you don’t see very often in public projects.

Material-handling equipment for working at heights when large machinery cannot access the site during slope construction!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. There are quite a few slope construction projects where you can’t use a crane, aren’t there?

Considering Future Trends in the Industry Based on Catch Basin Construction Projects
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Right after Golden Week, we’ll be starting work on a catch basin project in Tokyo. It’s been a while since we’ve worked on a catch basin! Even though we do a lot of landslide prevention work, we don’t actually do many catch basin projects. That’s because the contractor for this kind of work is pretty much always the same one, lol &…
Don't miss your annual health checkup or comprehensive medical exam!!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Every year around March and April is the time for health checkups, right!? At our company, employees aged 40 and older undergo a comprehensive health screening.
