Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Is it back to work today!? We’re back at it here. For those of you who had a long weekend, please be extra careful at work today. If possible, let’s not push ourselves too hard and take it easy! Even work needs a little warm-up. For those of you who worked during the long weekend, it’s business as usual…
Apply rust-preventive paint to the rebar for next year's construction project | Long-term storage
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, at our construction site, we applied rust-preventative spray to the rebar in preparation for next year’s construction work. We’ve actually been getting a lot of inquiries about the rebar for this upcoming project for some time now. “We’re planning a three-year construction project—what about the rebar for that…
Strength with and without Formwork | Verification of Formwork Construction
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. In my blog post the other day, I said I was planning to post a video of an experiment today, but when I really thought about it, I usually write most of my posts the day before. So, it’s impossible for me to write about something that happened today on the very same day. Maybe tomorrow… (probably lol) Anyway…
Filling a Large Hole in Natural Ground | On-Site Response
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When you’re installing retaining walls, there are times when you run into a big gap in one spot and just don’t know what to do, right? For example, something like this. There’s a huge gap, and it doesn’t seem like you can bend the retaining wall to fit it. But it’s pretty deep. If you leave it alone, it might eventually collapse…

Key Points to Note for Test Mixes | Concrete Quality
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I did some test mixing for the first time in a while, lol. Even though the current method has been established for over 30 years now, I can’t help but wonder, “What’s the point of test mixing anyway?” When it comes to spray mortar, you mix a 1:4 mortar ratio, but based on experience, it’s almost always…
The Effectiveness of Auxiliary Anchors | Reinforcement of Concrete Frames
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. How do you handle the auxiliary anchor pins for reinforced concrete frames? For example, on drawings, I think they’re usually shown right in the middle of the frame, like this. Well, there are usually about three of them, lol. Arrange them in a single row on the top reinforcing bars. Two on the top reinforcing bars, …
Sealed Systems Are Currently the Mainstream | Trends in Legal Framework Construction
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I think this falls within the legal framework, but if the area were within the boundaries shown in the photo, how would you assess it? The area within the design boundaries is designated for green space. The left side is bedrock. The right side is a mixture of soil and sand with partial rock outcrops. About 80% of this mountain consists of exposed bedrock…
Q&A on Substrate Preparation for Spray Coating | Frequently Asked Questions
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I received a question today, so I’d like to try answering it. Q: We’re installing retaining walls after completing excavation work at a challenging mountain site. Since there’s a risk of collapse while we’re working, we’ve decided to apply a lean-mix mortar without lath…
