Every Day Is a Process of Trial and Error | Improvements at the Slope Construction Company

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

For the past few days, I've been struggling like crazy to seal the area behind the sheet piles for the temporary anchors lol

Water Shut-off

There's an insane amount of water!

It's almost laughable.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a temporary anchor with this much water around it.

Come to think of it, there isn't a deep well at this site!!

Up until now, I’ve been working in urban civil engineering, just thinking, “Well, there’s water here,” lol.

Moreover, when it was certain that spring water would be gushing out, we first injected the chemical solution (suspension) and then installed the anchors.

Especially behind sheet piles (steel sheet piles), for example.

 

Since that's not happening this time, it's a total mess, lol.

Well, that’s just how things are done on this job site, so it’s fine, but looking back now, I realize I was a little too complacent myself.

"It can't possibly cost that much, right!?"

There hasn't been that much water in this area before, so sorry for underestimating it lol

 

So, we're currently taking measures to control the spring water flow.

Normally, you’d install a guide tube and tighten it securely with a mouth packer, but since the original design didn’t call for that, we’ll just secure it on-site for now.

I've tried quite a few different things, so I'll tell you about those another time.

Manschette Inspection

To be honest, I’m really itching to install it with a manschette to make it rock-solid.

For now, I'll just try a few different ways to stop it, lol.

When I say "easy," I mean without using any particularly elaborate machinery, lol.

 

See you later.
