Rock-to-Rock Bonding Using Mouldam

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

There are various ways to handle boulders that are uncovered during rockfall and boulder surveys, aren't there?

 

One of these methods is rock bonding.

Well, generally speaking, I can only think of one company, but actually, we do it too lol.

Or rather, what we're doing is an application of the Moldam method, which is used for reinforcing stone walls.

This mortar is used for bonding to bedrock.

 

In the end, what they're doing is the same, and,

If the jaw area of the rock is large, stretch a net over the surface and inject the mixture inside.

In the case of Moldam, since it is built up layer by layer, the material is injected while openings are created.

 

Then we inject the material into the crack, turning the entire structure into a single solid mass.

I've finished injecting the jaw area of the megalith.

It is a rock with many other joints.

This will thoroughly fill and bond all the joints.

Doing this will prevent rockfall damage caused by weathering.

 

For this construction project, we will transport cement, sand, water, Moldam resin, a small generator, a small hopper, and a small pump into the mountains.

For that reason, a monorail is essential.

 

However, since the monorail is used in the same way for rope nets and other construction projects, the conditions are the same.

The advantages of this construction method are that it requires minimal equipment, involves a simple process, and has a relatively short construction period.

 

The downside is that it isn't suitable for large jaw areas or large volumes of filler.

Since the pump is small, the daily infusion volume is low, isn't it?

 

The area where this can be applied consists of a relatively small group of rocks that have undergone severe joint weathering.

I think this role is best suited for situations where you can't take anything down, but it's not worth setting up a net either.

 

See you later.
