This might be the reason why the rock drill isn't drilling holes properly!!?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you use rock drills? When it comes to large rock drills, there are suspended drilling rigs, and for small ones weighing 50 kg or less, there are rock drills like this one. This is about the size of a small, handheld model. When using air tools like these…
When you're on the job site, you can learn a lot just by looking at your work from a distance (from above)!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you able to take a bird’s-eye view of the situation? *Note: “Bird’s-eye view” means looking down from a high vantage point. Are you so caught up in what’s right in front of you that you’re losing sight of the big picture? If you take a step back and look down from above to get a bird’s-eye view of the entire situation, you’ll see quite a lot…
I feel like methods for transporting materials up slopes are advancing by leaps and bounds!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, someone showed me a video of materials being transported up a slope. It was the kind of video that made me think, “So they’ve finally made it to the slope too!!?” Well, it’s a shame I can’t share it publicly, but the video showed the process of carrying 40 kg (two rolls of reinforcing mesh) to the top of the slope…
What Should You Do About That Huge Rock? Here Are 7 Solutions!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. My back is healing nicely. Those back exercises are amazing. By the way, this is all I’m doing lol. But anyway, I often get asked, “What should I do about exposed stones (rocks) on a slope?” There’s one on the slope that’s half-buried—I wonder how deep it is…
End-to-End Construction, from Slope Cleaning to Ground Anchors
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I started working as a scaffolder half a year ago, lol. At first, I was just winging it, copying what I saw, but lately, after working alongside professional scaffolders, my work has been turning out pretty well. Little by little, I’m getting better and faster…
The reality is that the number of construction-related transportation companies is declining significantly! And this is affecting construction sites as well!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The rain this week has been terrible, hasn’t it? But I hear it’s going to get cold again next week… It keeps getting warmer, then colder… It’s enough to make you feel under the weather, but more than that, I’ve been noticing a labor shortage. At our construction site, the ready-mix concrete trucks just aren’t showing up. The reason…
Virtually all hazardous elements on the slope have been removed (overhangs)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m often asked by general contractors, “What should we do about overhangs on slopes?” I figured some of you might be wondering, “What exactly is an overhang?” so I drew a picture. On natural slopes, they can gradually erode or partially collapse…
I took a look at the excavated slope and had all sorts of thoughts!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, at a site I was visiting, I found a fault that cut right through the rock strata on a cut surface lol. I thought it was pretty rare to see something this clear, so I took a picture. The overall rock strata run from the top right to the bottom left, but the layer that cuts across them is on the left…
Round steel anchor pins offer greater pull-out resistance!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When you’re laying the top layer of rebar and the bed is poor (the rebar slips in easily), do you use anchor pins made of deformed rebar or round bar? To answer that, it’s round bar. I used to think deformed rebar provided better friction, too. In fact, at first glance, the surface…
