No Matter How Much You Inspect, It Never Ends | The Essence of Maintenance

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Mitsui Shipbuilding 106: Engine Blowout

Can you tell what I'm doing in this photo? lol

We're gas-cutting the casing...

 

The thing is, our crawler-type rotary percussion machine bit the dust lol

The engine suddenly blew up while we were drilling on site.

 

And here, the casing is being cut to remove the machine that has stopped working.

Since the total weight is about 12 metric tons, we removed the guide cell and hammer after pulling out the axle pins.

Next, we'll remove the main unit.

They actually provided a 70-metric-ton crane, lol.

 

Because of this, I ended up wasting two whole days and caused trouble for the general contractor.

I'm really sorry.

 

What's more, this 106 (Mitsui Shipbuilding) had just undergone a major overhaul...

I spent quite a bit of money replacing the parts, and yet... lol

Well, I guess there's nothing we can do about it.

We immediately brought in leased equipment, and construction is proceeding for now.

 

So things like this really happen, huh?

In situations like this, it's best to switch gears right away and start thinking about your next move.

 

Are your current machines working okay?

Routine inspections—such as checking the engine oil, belts, and oil leaks—are extremely important.

Since there may be certain behaviors that cause the device to stop working while it's in operation, please inspect it thoroughly every day.

Even if you check it, it'll still break, lol.

 

See you later.
