Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’m feeling a bit swamped right now, lol. I imagine you’re all feeling the same way—chasing after one thing after another as tasks keep piling up. By the time you finally catch up, the fiscal year is already over. Days like that… Quiet…
How to Shorten the Time Required for Qualification and Verification Tests | Improving On-Site Efficiency
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The other day, something really annoying happened! Well, it’s been a while since I’ve been this angry—or whatever you want to call it… I don’t usually get that worked up, but the other day I was just so mad!!! So I vented to my bosses. Haha. Thanks to that, I feel a lot better…
A Look at Grade Adjustment | Food Review-Style Fantasies About Slopes vs. the Reality on Site
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I was watching the morning news and it occurred to me—there’s often a segment that’s kind of like a food review, isn’t there? I was thinking, “I wonder if they’d feature slope stabilization there too??” lol For example, “This cement slurry looks like it’ll provide just the right amount of strength~” “This slope…”
Back Surface Treatment of the Load-Bearing Plate | The Relationship Between Uneven Ground and the Zabuton Frame
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’ve reinforced the company’s door. It won’t open unless you cut through it with an angle grinder or an oxy-acetylene torch.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It seems like bolt scales—which have been gaining a bit of popularity lately—are popping up everywhere. (Maybe because the fiscal year is coming to a close?)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went to a job site to lend a hand. It was a tension control job.

Handling Anchor Heads When There Is Heavy Spring Water Flow | Construction Management Job Market Trends
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.

Construction Methods for Ground Anchor Work
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, we’ve been getting a lot of requests for wells—ranging from shallow to deep. Well, since we drill observation wells anyway when injecting chemicals, it doesn’t really make much of a difference, so we can handle it. But what I’m not sure about is whether water will actually come out! Since we don’t have any data on that, that’s the tricky part…
