Learning from Mistakes: Comparing Yourself to Others | Reflecting on Your Growth

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I started drilling the other day, but I forgot something crucial, so in the end, I could only drill about five 1.5-meter sections of casing lol. I set up the equipment on site properly, checked the surrounding area thoroughly, and verified both the materials and the blueprints…

Machine Spacing (Between Machines) | Layout Planning

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’re starting to drill holes for the temporary anchors today. Last weekend, I set up the equipment all by myself. As you can see, the site is quite spacious, so I was able to set it up with plenty of room to spare. Now, regarding how to set up the equipment, even in tight spaces…

Found a Great Product! (Gloves) | Work Gloves

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When it really starts to get cold, there’s one thing you absolutely can’t do without on the job, right? It’s not a hand warmer, lol. It’s gloves 🧤. Lately, people have been wearing nitrile gloves and then work gloves or rubber gloves over them, haven’t they? On extremely cold job sites…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s really starting to get cold, isn’t it? Do you use antifreeze? lol There are all kinds of antifreeze products from various companies out there, but do they actually work?

The most fun part of a job site is the stage right before things start to go smoothly | Slope Construction Specialist

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m doing manual dewatering drilling every day and coming up with new techniques as I go. Since the borehole diameter is φ90, I’m able to extract huge cores like these—the one on the left is concrete. It drills through smoothly. The rock on the right is very hard. What kind of rock is this?? Is it granite?…

Perforated Pipes Are Bonded Together with Glue | Drainage Worker

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When performing drainage boring, do you apply adhesive to the PVC pipes? The perforated pipes used in drainage boring aren’t subjected to any particular stress; their role is simply to be buried in the ground and drain water away. For that reason, it’s true that many contractors tend to take this step lightly…

Quality is a given. Appearance accounts for 90% | The Quality of a Slope Contractor

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The other day, we finished the mortar spraying work at a job site. The finish turned out great—it made me go, “Wow!”—so I thought I’d share it with you all lol. What makes it so good? It’s all about the beads! The straight, even beads look amazing! Personally, I think this part…

Casing Tubes for Core Drilling Are Not Suitable for Rock Formations | Limitations

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s finally starting to get cold, isn’t it! It’s super tough out here on the job site, lol. We’re doing this kind of work inside a tunnel, but—maybe because of the bedrock—the casing tubes get completely worn out from the drill bit. This one’s brand new. We’ve also attached the drill bit…
