Core Drilling for Drainage Boring | New Construction Method

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

We've been working on a new construction project recently.

That said, it's just draining water—but it's draining water in a tight space.

Core Drilling

Well, we're already removing the core, but we'll drill through the concrete surface and continue drilling even deeper.

The machine is used exclusively for core drilling.

In Tokyo and Yokohama, they use core drills to drill holes for rock bolts, so this is an application of that technique.

 

I think this is probably the first time this machine has been used for dewatering in the Tokai region. (Maybe it’s not very common nationwide either?)

And I'm sure you think it looks easy (in the photo), right?

This is super hard lol

I think it's okay to try it if you have the equipment, but if you don't know the trick, it'll turn into a total disaster lol.

 

Since you’ll eventually have to drill through bedrock, wouldn’t it be pretty tough without at least some knowledge of drilling?

Mino Chart

It's full of rocks like these.

I'm working on this area right now—it's at the peak of the chart, so it's really tough, lol.

The bits will fall apart.

Bit

All the chips have flown away.

Bitcoins costing 30,000 or more each—and look at the state they're in...

Core Tube

Even the core tube has gotten thinner, and look what's happened lol

What's more, this borehole is only 6 meters deep.

When it gets this bad, I really have no choice but to replace it—it’d be dangerous not to—but it’s a pretty grueling battle.

 

That said, I’ve been getting used to the mountains little by little, so I think things will gradually get better.

Specialized construction work is all about know-how and expertise, so I’ll keep building up my skills little by little.

I imagine we'll see more projects like this in the future, so it would be interesting if we got a request.

Although this is our first construction project, the government has approved the budget, so it looks like we’ll be able to establish a baseline for future costs.

It's mentally important to do it first, lol.

I'm pretty sure we're number one in the Tokai region, lol (not that it matters, though lol).

 

See you later.
