Jig for Straight-Pulling PC Steel Wire (Part 1) | Construction
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. To be honest, I was actually planning to write today about how the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is open and transparent, while NEXCO is secretive.

I figured I’d just end up writing about all of NEXCO’s shortcomings, so… lol…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’m updating the blog as if nothing’s wrong, even though I haven’t quite managed to get it back up and running yet lol.

Measures to Prevent Sand Ejection Caused by Groundwater Pressure in Anchor Construction (Part 1)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I tried to see if I could carry a 133 double-pipe casing all by myself with one of our employees! Of course, this is how it turned out for me...

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m heading out to the job site starting today. Well, we finished the preparations last weekend, so we’re starting the drilling today.

Prevent Slime Splatter with a Slime Head | Drilling Tools
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Wow, today’s the day I’m heading back to Nagoya, lol. The other day, I told the couple who run the convenience store near the job site, “I’m heading back tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of me during my short stay here,” and they replied, “Thank you, too!” while…
