Introduction of New Drilling Equipment | Capital Expenditures on Machinery

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Work starts again tomorrow, doesn't it?

That said, was it really a typhoon? How was it?

Were you okay?

I hope no one was injured or harmed.


But that's beside the point.

Come to think of it, I went to pick up the machine right before the Obon holiday began.

Spring Drill 40 II

This is it.

That's right.

This is the M's Spring Drill 40 II.

We used to lease our equipment, but we’ve purchased our own now. (A new one, for now.)

I feel like people might say, "Isn't it a little late for that now?"

That said, I didn't buy it from Enta, but from a company called Izumi in Nagano.

Well, since they're both part of the same group of companies, it doesn't really matter which one I use, but it looks like I'll be heading out to job sites using both these and the leased machines going forward.

 

One of the advantages of having our own equipment is that it's well-suited for long-term on-site use, isn't it?

It’s not like leased equipment, where there are constant costs (there are costs, but the operating costs are low), right?

In the case of the Sakamaki site, if they tell you there’s a three-week gap, you’d return the leased equipment, right?

Especially in cases like drill rigs, where the monthly lease payments are high, it’s definitely better to return the equipment.

You won't have to go through the trouble of returning it.

It's a small thing, but with such a severe labor shortage, we want to cut out even that kind of extra work.

Besides, since we can’t very well bill the general contractor for the full amount, there’s just no helping it to some extent.

It looks like this will be very useful on future job sites involving small counter-rotation installations.

Come together

With this, we now have a full range of drilling machines, from large to small.

I've reached a point where I can handle just about any kind of mountain.

We can install anchors ranging from 1 meter for shorter ones to over 60 meters for longer ones (currently under construction).

We’ve recently achieved a depth of about 130 meters in vertical drilling, and I believe we’re making progress in improving our technical capabilities.

That said, I'm just doing the work because the general contractor asked me to, lol.

 

Going forward, I intend to continue working diligently, accurately, and with an open mind so that I can meet the needs of our prime contractor.

We look forward to your continued support.

By the way, since this Spring Drill 40 II is from a different company, I won’t be painting it pink lol.

 

See you later.
