Flat-Cap Bolt Scale | New Product

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Regarding the bolt scale, I’ve actually discovered that it can’t be used with flat caps! It’s basically designed to be inserted into the head of a rebar. That’s the standard setup, but what about flat caps where the rebar isn’t protruding? Like this…

Changes in Soil Conditions Are the Most Frightening | The Reality of Drilling

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When designing based on a columnar diagram, we consider where exactly within which stratum to anchor the structure. Naturally, cost-effectiveness is the top priority. However, there are quite a few cases where the actual strata turn out to be completely different from what was expected. This is especially true for clay-based strata. As for the design…

A New Idea Using Clip Spacers | Examples of Use

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You know those rubber sheaths used in rebar insertion work, right? Like this one. Do you use them? I remove them whenever possible when placing an order. Since those things aren’t really necessary anymore, in a way, they’re a waste of taxpayer money, lol. And that brings down the contract price…

Mizuhori's Suspended Drilling Rig | Drilling Methods

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m currently working on a site where the clay is too hard to drill through with a suspended drilling rig. On top of that, the borehole walls won’t stay upright on their own... Normally, it would probably be better to use a double-pipe system. But there’s no way we can make design changes at this point, so for now…

Points to Check Before Selecting Self-Drilling Rock Bolts | Site Conditions

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s gotten quite cool here in Kyushu lately—so much so that I found myself thinking, “Huh?

Here are some things to check before deciding on self-piercing: Self…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, while looking through some old management data, I came across this lol. It brings back memories. As for what this photo is of—it’s a measurement of alignment errors lol. This is how we used to do it back then. Mark the center of the frame with red on the corner washer. Corner washer…
