This means that the wave of automation is definitely reaching the slope construction industry as well.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Picking up where I left off the other day, I’d like to introduce that thing I saw at the Wakita Jumbo Fair that made me think, “Is it finally here!?” lol. Koken Kogyo, which was recently acquired through a tender offer by Hulic Co., Ltd. and has become its wholly owned subsidiary... This is Koken Kogyo’s fully automated machine! That said…
I went to the Wakita Jumbo Fair!
皆さんこんにちは。 エンタです。 先日ワキタジャンボフェアの続きです。 10tクラスの不整地運搬車ですね。 コレいくらすると思いますか？ 標準価格はザックリ6,000万前後で、販売価格はザックリその半分くらい。 まぁ会社と取引規模によってか…
I Tried Core Drilling Using the Wireline Sampling Method!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been using a new tool for my work since a few days ago. It’s called a Soundscope. Have you heard of it? It’s a stethoscope that lets you listen to the sounds transmitted through metal. With the current “wireline” method, core boring…

But anyway, when the sand keeps piling up, it’s really…
Measures to Prevent Sand Ejection Caused by Groundwater Pressure in Anchor Construction (Part 3)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today, starting in the afternoon, Mr. Itabashi from Toyotoku Industries (Machinery Repair) came by our place to do some repairs. He taught me how to use the gouging tool and how to perform detailed maintenance on the hydraulic unit! It’s a huge help. Though, I really could use a mechanic, lol. But anyway…
Measures to Prevent Sand Ejection Caused by Groundwater Pressure in Anchor Construction (Part 2)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. All the construction projects I’m working on are getting pushed back, and there’s just nothing I can do about it lol. The general contractor doesn’t seem to care about the delays and just says, “You have to start on this date,” even though we’re behind schedule… That’s impossible, right? lol. I’m sure there are plenty of other construction companies thinking the same thing lol. Let’s be careful and take our time…
