Hello, everyone. This is Enta. By the end of this month, five members of our second cohort—three Vietnamese employees at Enta and two at Izumi—will be leaving the company.

I’m looking forward to the new technical interns arriving this spring, though…

Construction Sequence When a Landslide Begins | Why Drainage Is the Top Priority
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Cracks have started to appear in the slope we’re currently working on. We’re installing anchors using a retaining frame at the top and a zabuton frame plus steel pressure plates at the bottom.

Case Study: Collapse of a Rebar Insertion Project | Why It’s Still Useful Even If the Grout Peels Away
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Here’s a photo of a collapse at a rebar insertion work site. The mortar has come loose, and the rebar insertion work is being pulled downward.
