Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
I went to our construction site the other day.
It was a meeting with our prime contractor (my old workplace) and their first-tier subcontractor, but there was also another person there who was the prime contractor’s prime contractor, lol.
That's a real general contractor, huh? lol
That young person over there is staring right at me.
When I say, “Oh, it’s Enta,” they reply, “Oh….”
There was a weird pause (like he wanted to say something lol)
Whenever I try to go...
"I read your blog!"
It came out of the blue, so all I could say was, “Thank you.” lol
I wish we could have talked more.
Thank you for mustering up the courage to say that.
To be honest, I'm super happy!
I’m truly grateful that our general contractor is reading a blog written by a middle-aged guy like me!
That one comment keeps me going with my daily blog!!
Our employee will be with you for a little while longer, so we appreciate your continued support.
But that's beside the point.
Construction Methods for Ground Anchor Work
Ground Anchor Installation Methods (Part 2)
Ground Anchor Installation Methods (Part 3)
Up until the last session, we had only gotten as far as setting up the machine.
From here on, we'll move on to drilling.
First, insert the inner liner into the outer casing and load it into the machine.
So, we’ll proceed with the drilling, but when it comes to drilling, it’s hard to say anything definitive because the results depend so much on the surgeon’s skill, but,
Air-and-water drilling has become the mainstream method in recent years.
For anchors longer than 30 meters, drilling is done using high-pressure water jets.
Air is really just a supplementary measure, isn't it?
If the mountain (hole wall) is in poor condition, it will inevitably cause jamming, but there are several ways to deal with it.
Generally speaking, in mountains where there's a lot of jamming, you won't even get a Slime Return.
If the slime doesn't come back no matter how much water you use, this is a really tough mountain.
In situations like that, let's think about various drilling methods. Let's give them a try.
Let's give it a try without getting hung up on preconceived notions lol
This is a bit of a sensitive topic, so if anyone is having trouble with it, please email me directly.
Don't be bound by stereotypesThat's what's important.
What are the typical stereotypes about anchor workers? lol
The reason it's hard to say is that it differs from the construction method listed in the cost estimate.
But even though this method is incredibly effective, there are times when the coaching staff won't approve it.
In any case, once the drilling is complete, we’ll measure the finished part to verify its dimensions.
See you next time.
