Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

I get the feeling that work on both slope stabilization and anchors has slowed down a bit.

2022 has felt a bit strange right from the start, and it looks like it’s going to stay that way until the very end...

Well, we do have work to do, but it’s not as hectic as it usually is every year...

How are things where you are?

It varies by prefecture, after all.

I imagine that people in snowy regions, in particular, will be busy with snow removal, but,

In areas without snow, it gets super boring!?

When I look at various economic news reports and other sources, everyone is saying that next year will be a tough one for the construction industry.

 

Having gone through a period of extreme boredom this past spring, I have to say, it’s kind of scary, isn’t it?

Right now, I’m determined to tackle the tasks at hand thoroughly, no matter what.

However, we public works contractors cannot survive without government contracts.

It would be great if government agencies would keep placing orders, but given the issues with funding and interest rates, it’s hard to say how things will turn out.

I think banks are starting to get a little more aggressive, too.

 

They say "Don't count your chickens before they hatch," but it does make you worry, doesn't it? (It's not that serious, though.)

I hope to find a way to try some new things next year.

I've been secretly growing those seeds for the past few years, so I'm hoping they'll sprout sometime next year.

And since we're living in times like these, I'd like to try doing something new ^^

 

So, there have been quite a few requests for this, but,

Next springAn Event for Slope Construction ContractorsI'm thinking of trying something like that.

This is an event for anyone involved in slope design—whether they’re general contractors or subcontractors—and we’re thinking of extending the invitation to the design firms as well.

Obviously, if you're asking, "What's a legal framework?" or "What's an anchor?", you're out of luck lol.

 

Since this is the first event, I think it will be held in Nagoya, and I’m looking forward to exchanging information with everyone in a lively atmosphere.

Well, I know at least three people who’ll show up, so even if it’s just the three of us, we’ll still go ahead with it lol (It won’t be lonely! ...)

 

As of now, I think it will likely be in April or May, before the rainy season begins.

It’s fun when people get together, whether they’re from big companies or local businesses, isn’t it?

As colleagues doing the same job, I hope you can put aside any everyday tensions or hard feelings (lol) and just have fun.

Also, I’m sure something will definitely come of it when people in the same industry get together!

This is a must. (If we end up not getting along, well, that's just how it goes lol)

We're also dreaming big—like sharing these ideas with everyone to solve problems together or even creating something new, lol.

Well, I'm just thinking this on my own, though.

For now, I'll work out some ideas, so please look forward to it until then.

 

See you later.
