Curing Cement Slurry | Winter Construction

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I conducted an experiment. It was a compressive strength test. The experiment involved observing changes in early strength using the same mix design. That said, it was simply a matter of whether or not to leave the test specimens as they were after taking them. I left these test specimens as they were until morning…

A Thicker Cement Slurry Is More Effective | Tips for Mixing

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You know how you take test specimens (cement slurry) at job sites, right? Like for ground anchor work, rebar insertion, or piles. There are all kinds of projects, but when you’re making these test specimens, if they’re extremely soft, you just throw them away, right? lol But on the other hand, if they’re on the hard side…

Time for a Crack Test | Field Test

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’ve been working late into the night lately, but I just can’t seem to finish my work... One task after another keeps coming in—this and that.

This Is What Happens with Standard Spacers | Product Comparison

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The slope we worked on last year collapsed, lol. Well, it happened a while back, but I went to check out the site the other day. As you can see, this is the rebar insertion work we installed. In reality, the collapse started much further back, so the rebar insertion work wasn’t enough to handle it…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. In ground anchor construction, there’s a process called “packer installation,” right? It’s not very well known, but the cost associated with installing these packers is actually quite significant.
