Maximum Limits for Legal-Frame Construction in Confined Areas
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you know the minimum construction clearance for steel-frame construction? What I’m getting at is, on a cramped job site, how close to the structure behind can you actually work? There are some super tight spots when doing work on steep slopes, you know~ lol. Even the designers…
It means they're selling construction services
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You know those anchor pins used in retaining wall construction, right? There’s usually one at the intersection and about two to six on the crossbeams. Even when installing rock bolts or ground anchors in the center, they’re driven into the ends of the intersection. Rock bolts…
You can't just cut corners when it comes to legal loopholes!!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’ve been working on concrete projects lately, so I’m super sensitive to the weather lol. “Will we be able to pour the concrete!?” “If we can’t pour it here, the schedule will be in trouble…” I’m thinking all this while I’m doing paperwork at the office lol. Anyway, the other day at a job site, there was one thing that was just a disaster…
This Is What "Air Cleaning"—a Common Practice in Spray Coating—Is All About!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You’ve probably heard the term “air cleaning” in the context of spray coating, right? I’m sure you’ve seen photos of air cleaning being performed like this. Well, to be honest, I bet you’re thinking, “What on earth is that?” lol To put it simply…
I examined the merits and demerits of the construction method used to install steel frames in the distant past!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I found a pretty old concrete frame in the Kanto region and was checking it out (lol—like a suspicious person, lol). The distinctive feature of this construction method is that they start by spraying up to waist height. After that, they spray the upper part…
For formwork spray application, if the material inside the formwork is mortar, spray it at the same time!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you spray the formwork and the mortar inside the formwork separately? Or do you spray them together? How do you determine the finished shape? “Since they’re different types of work, you must do them separately, right!?” That’s a common topic of conversation. The finished shape is determined in advance when assembling the formwork…
How to Draw Slope Construction Drawings, Part 3
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I meant “how to draw” a blueprint, not “how to write” one, right…? Japanese is tricky, isn’t it? I’ll be more careful from now on ^^ But anyway… This time, it’s “How to Draw a Blueprint, Part 3.” “How to Draw a Blueprint, Part 1,” “How to Draw a Blueprint, Part 2”—I’ve covered everything up to the title block…
How to Draw Slope Construction Drawings, Part 2
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. This time, we’ll cover “How to Draw Blueprints, Part 2.” In “How to Draw Slope Construction Blueprints, Part 1,” I drew the development drawing for now. I tried drawing a test blueprint (to make it easier to understand). Let’s say we have a slope like this. The slope frame is 300…
Proper Installation of Main Anchors
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Things have started to get a little busy! It feels a bit overwhelming, but let’s tackle them one by one! But enough of that—when assembling the formwork, we install the main and auxiliary anchors…
