Digitization of Ground Anchor Tension Tests | Setting Up Automatic Control
Hello, everyone. It's Enta here. I finally got that thing done lol. It looks super cool!! What do you think? lol You connect this partway into the pressure gauge to use it. It works with either 100V or 200V. The only thing I'm wondering is whether it'll work with a pseudo-sine wave...
Learning from Past Projects Can Benefit the Present | Analysis
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I noticed a PC load-bearing plate on a slope near our construction site. I wonder if the anchors are SEEE. It seems the natural ground was quite unstable when it was installed. As evidence of this, there were grout-filled pads in place. They looked like cloth...
The Shift from Analog to Digital, Finally | DX
Hello, everyone. It's Enta. Here it is! This is it!!! Well, I'm sure those in the know will recognize it right away—it's a pressure gauge. A digital one, lol. It might be hard to tell at first glance, but it's about the size of a fist. As for what I'm going to use this for...
Timing of Packer Injection | Anchor Work
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. In ground anchor construction, we inject cement slurry into areas riddled with cracks (joints). But it just leaks out like crazy, so no matter how much slurry we have (I’ll just call it “slurry” from now on), it’s never enough lol. That’s where the packer comes in…
Make it Easy to See for Great Photos | Construction Photos
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. There’s one thing that really stresses me out when it comes to managing my nerves, lol. Sure, there’s time management (aptitude and confirmation tests) and all that, but setting that aside for now, it’s the jack. I don’t mind that the jack is heavy or anything, but is there any way to deal with that gauge?…
Civil Engineers Explain Accurately and Clearly | Communication Skills
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was talking with a government official on site about soil conditions. That official, who has experience with ground anchor work in his capacity as a government official, said to me, “We can confirm the anchorage layer using the cuttings from the borehole, right?” lol. Well, there’s a lot to say about that…
Tips for Speeding Up Prestressing | Anchor Installation
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was working on a tensioning job in freezing cold weather. And today, I’m in Gero City, where it’s even colder… Gero is famous for its hot springs, but I’m heading right back out of there lol. Man, it’s cold lol. Anyway, moving on—regarding the temporary anchors, the prestressed steel strands…
Building a Pressure Valve for Pressure Injection | DIY Equipment
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I made a pressure relief valve for the first time in a while. I ordered the materials in advance, and after returning from the job site, I welded and assembled them. Since the parts are laser-cut to fit fairly precisely, assembly is easy. I cut a 1-inch nipple in half to create the inlet and the pressure relief…
Tapered plates for significant angle adjustments | Formwork Construction
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Have you heard of taper plates? First, let’s talk about the term “taper.” In the metalworking industry, this process is called “taper machining.” Since “taper” is a common term in that industry, it’s worth remembering. &n…
