Lately, when I’m working on projects like rebar insertion, there are often spots where I think, “We’re in trouble if we don’t add drainage here.” For projects we design in-house, we always make sure to include drainage in the design.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Since the rainy season is just around the corner, today I’d like to talk about drainage. I’m going to write about a common misconception among drainage well contractors. Well, generally speaking, rain falls from above, lol.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. From a craftsman’s perspective, I think there are aspects of construction management that seem familiar but aren’t fully understood. People generally assume, “Management is management—it’s all the same, right!?” And while that’s true to a certain extent, it’s not quite that simple, you know~ For example…
