What Should We Do About the Injection Hose? | Deciding Whether to Remove It or Leave It In

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

For a long timeNo job site is ever truly finished.That’s what they always say.

Well, if you just keep at it, it'll be over before you know it.

Our project, which had been dragging on for a while, is finally wrapping up, lol.

Man, I'm in a bind. It's the kind of situation that's so bad it's actually funny.

Since this is the ship I’m on, I’ll make sure to see it through safely to the very end.

If possible, I’d love to talk with you at length after that (lol).

Slowly


But that's beside the point.

When grouting during rebar installation, do you remove the grout hose?

Grout Injection Hose

I think many people simply secure the tape loosely to the rebar with vinyl tape or something similar and then pull it out after the grout has been injected.

Depending on the job site, if you don't secure it properly, it can get caught partway through, and only the rebar might end up going in, right?

If you secure it too tightly, you won't be able to remove it, so you'll have to leave it in place.

So, even if I were to say what the correct answer is,Either is fine.That's what I think.

It depends on the director's approach.

In fact, since the injection hose is made of inorganic material, it will not rot.

Even if I’m told that the adhesion of the rebar might decrease, I have no idea by how much.

If the site supervisor says to pull out, we’ll pull out; if he says it’s fine, then there’s no problem.

As long as the most important part—inserting the injection hose and performing the injection—is done correctly, functionality is unlikely to be compromised.

The important part is"Inject grout from the bottom and work your way up to the top."That's it.

This is the most important part.

Lift it up from there.

Once the grout has risen, gently wiggle the rebar up and down and side to side to help it settle in properly.

By doing so, the grout will adhere to the rebar regardless of whether an injection hose is present or not.

 

There are some directors who are surprisingly particular about certain things, but there’s no clear, theoretical answer—it’s just a matter of personal preference.

However, since I think this attention to detail is important, I don't really mind either way.

 

Site supervisors always have their own particular preferences—whether it’s paperwork or how they take photos.

While my past achievements and experience are what give rise to this attention to detail, it generally depends on inspection results and the wishes and preferences of the general contractor.

In tech jobs, whether or not that attention to detail clicks with others can make a huge difference in how work progresses and how relationships develop (lol).

It's nice to be around people who have their own standards but don't force them on others—it makes things easier.

 

See you later.
