The raised portion of the sheet pile frame is treated as natural ground | Basis for Calculating Drilling Length
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Things have been pretty hectic lately. And that leads to a vicious cycle where my blog posts get delayed. I’m really sorry about that. I’ll do my best to post a little sooner from now on! But anyway… The drilling depth for rock bolts is 3.0 meters.…
The Secrets of Formwork Removal (2017 Edition) | Collaboration Between Slope Contractors and Anchor Contractors
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s December—the busiest month of the year. Or is it starting tomorrow? Anyway, accidents tend to increase during December. Even though rushing doesn’t change anything, we still end up rushing. Let’s take it slow, especially during December! But enough of that. Let’s talk about formwork removal—specifically, removing formwork from the structural frame (after installing void pipes and PVC pipes, followed by rebar insertion and anchoring…)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Things have been pretty hectic from September through October. We’ve been repeating the same cycle: completing a small job in a week, packing up, and moving on to the next one.

About Crack-Prevention Materials (Part 5)
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. One way or another, the three-day weekend is over. Well, it was just a regular Sunday, right? (laughs) I went to the Rock Bolt construction site the other day. The hardest part is climbing the stairs! One trip up and I’m exhausted; two trips and I’m completely wiped out. My weak legs and lower back are really getting the best of me…
About Crack-Prevention Materials (Part 3) | Toughlight RG One-Week Strength
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta. The other day, I dropped my phone in the river at the job site... lol. It got swept away by the muddy current... sob.

About Crack Prevention Materials (Part 2) | Ground Anchor Installer Certification Renewal
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I attended a refresher course to renew my Ground Anchor Installer certification.

I’m always grateful…
