Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It seems my blog post from the other day didn’t get uploaded due to some kind of mistake, so I’m posting this at the very last minute! I almost let the updates stop! lol That’s scary. I really need to check my updates more carefully. Anyway, moving on… The bolt attached to the top of the cylinder…

Hi everyone, this is Enta. This week, I’m doing anchor drilling in Nagano. So, this is what it usually looks like when accidents happen. I took this photo myself (well, I’m the operator, lol)—what do you think? You can’t see anything, can you? It’s the blind spot of the crawler-type rotary percussion drill…

On-Site Guidelines | Metrics for Construction Speed and Quality

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was so close to drilling four 23-meter holes—lol. I have to be present for every single one, but I don’t get there until just before 10:00 a.m. If only I didn’t lose that much time… But there’s no point in saying that, so I’ll just keep doing my best!

The Number One Machine Problem with Rotary Percussion | Frequent Breakdowns

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s getting dark earlier these days. The other day, I had to work a little overtime, and before I knew it, the moon was out! It wasn’t even 6:00 yet.

You Can Never Beat Someone Who Works Steadily | The Power of Persistence

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s a beautiful, sunny day here in Hokkaido. I’ve been wrestling with a core drill nonstop since last week, lol. It’s a pretty old Mitsubishi 230.

Precision Drilling | Shizuoka's Pollen Hell and Machine Delivery

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve received many kind words from all over. To be honest, just because it’s been 10 years doesn’t mean anything special to me—I’m just going about my work as usual. Still, it is a small milestone, so I suppose it’s a good opportunity to express my gratitude to all of you. …
