Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
I'm doing unloading work right under the construction site where work is currently underway.
We're unloading the anchor, which is under tension.
I haven't checked since then to see if it's become tense again.
So, what I want to point out is the rust on the head.
These are anchors that were installed several years ago.
Even though it has a head cap, look at all this rust.
This means that simply putting rust-preventive oil inside the head cap isn't enough.
It's gotta be the slimy stuff, right? lol
If you apply this much paint, it’s sure to be rust-resistant.
By the way, there’s actually an even stranger phenomenon in the photo of the rusty head.
Can you find it? lol (Not like it's a quiz or anything, lol)
See you later.
Here are the answers to the quiz (‘◇’)ゞ
・The wedge in the lower left is cracked
・The edge of the head body above the wedge hole in the lower left corner is broken.
・The rubber bands securing the wedges are all broken
・The epoxy coating on the lower-right edge is too thin
(The wedge in the bottom right looks weird, too.)
A: You are not using a wedge that fits the head.
I'd like to know the answer. Thank you in advance.
Thank you!
I can't believe you actually replied, lol
"The wedge is cracked."
That's right!

The head itself is not broken.
It's no problem if the rubber bands snap due to wear and tear over time.
I don't usually apply epoxy, so if it's already been done, that's a plus.
I suspect that this anchor was made using a wedge that had cracked after failing to hold the tension.
Did you hit it with something like a hammer?
Or they may simply be a little too tense.
Is that why the wedge broke?
I don't think there's any problem with the performance, but it does make me wonder ^^
