Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been wandering around the Yamanashi and Nagano areas again this week, lol. I’m trying to keep my work area as wide as possible, so I’m thinking of sticking to places within about a 3-hour one-way drive from the Tokai region (my sales territory).

Great Find (Grease) | Maintenance Supplies
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’ve switched the grease we use at our company. Anchor companies use an insane amount of grease, don’t they? On the casing, and on the driller’s drifter!

On-Site Risks During the Basic Test | Preliminary Verification
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I conducted a basic test the other day, and the specimen pulled out at around 100 kN. Well, since that test was strictly for determining τ (circumferential friction resistance), that’s fine, but when it pulls out earlier than expected, various problems start to arise…

Mizuhori's Suspended Drilling Rig | Drilling Methods
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m currently working on a site where the clay is too hard to drill through with a suspended drilling rig.
