New! Enta's Slope Management Schoolis an information site dedicated to slope construction, by slope construction professionals, and for slope construction professionals.

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…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Golden Week ends tomorrow, doesn’t it? Things are going to get busier and busier starting next week, so let’s do our best! ^^ And it’s going to get really hot, too. I have a feeling this year’s heat will be out of the ordinary, so we need to stay alert and take precautions! But enough of that…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Here’s a photo sent from the worksite. It’s a really great photo. Everyone looks like they’re having fun—Japanese workers and technical interns all mixed together. When I see something like this, it makes me wonder: Does work really have anything to do with job titles or industries? It just so happens that at some point…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s a busy time of year, and we’re performing inspections and maintenance on the machinery we’ll be taking to our next job site. Among the team, there are some people who are servicing this particular machine for the first time. If someone who knows what they’re doing can show them how, there’s no problem at all, but it’s scary when you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing, isn’t it…

Hi everyone, this is Enta. I took this photo the other day. Since I had some free time, I thought, “Finally!!”—the new pump and generator that had never seen the light of day—so I snapped a picture lol. This photo was taken on October 4, 2022. And looking at this photo…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I went out to inspect some stonework in Ishigaki again the other day. There’s been a lot of that lately, hasn’t there? And every time I go out to inspect, almost all the stonework is subpar, lol. The clients know it, too—they realize it must be dangerous. So, to provide an estimate for the stonework, I need…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Things are about to get busy, so we’re performing inspections and maintenance on the machinery that will be used at that site. Among the team, there are some people who are performing maintenance on this machinery for the first time. If someone who knows the process can teach them, there’s no problem at all, but in a situation where they’re completely unfamiliar with it…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Since my photography tips were well-received (by a very small number of people, lol), I thought I’d write about the absolute basics of photo management. Everyone has their own unique style when it comes to photography, so there’s a good chance these tips won’t work for everyone. However, just because they don’t work for you doesn’t mean you should dismiss them…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Around this time of year, things get so busy that it feels like you might just snap, right? And sometimes people actually do snap, which can lead to some pretty crazy situations. Personally, I don’t really “snap” or anything like that, lol. It usually just gets to the point where I get fed up…
