Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I get asked a lot about the height of earth-retaining walls using temporary anchors. I really do get asked that a lot! I wonder if few people know the answer, or if they just forget it right away? lol I’m going to explain the height of earth-retaining walls using temporary anchors. First, what does a core drill do…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I just got back from Kagoshima the other day, and today a junior from Kagoshima came to Nagoya and stopped by the office lol. He’s a junior from the Kagoshima Jitsugyo High School swim team, and now works for a major construction company specializing in slope stabilization and foundation work—he’s the branch manager in Kagoshima! My head is already…

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. One person will be staying on after their contract is extended, but it’s still going to feel lonely with so many leaving at once. I’m looking forward to the new technical interns arriving this spring, though…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s really cold out there, isn’t it? I’ve even put on my extreme-cold base layer and electric-heated vest! Winter is really kicking into high gear now. It feels like winter is coming a bit late this year, but be careful of the snow! *We have openings on the Anchor Team! How about it? We can also handle construction management…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s gotten a lot colder all of a sudden, so I’ve started wearing a neck warmer! (Around my neck.) Starting next week, I plan to start wearing an electric-heated vest! But anyway, this is the final installment in our series on basic landslide prevention measures: “Cutting, Managing, and Stabbing.” Let’s review…

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. The site itself collapsed due to heavy rain, and we’re currently working on its restoration. We’ve already shaped the slope to a certain extent…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, an acquaintance complained to me, saying, “The job postings for slope stabilization and anchor work are described in great detail, but I can’t seem to get any construction management positions!” Of course, this person is a construction manager. I bet they said it with a face like this lol …
