Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
The other day, I attended a safety conference at a certain company.
This industry is pretty small, so I know everyone here—which is a big help for me, lol.
Also, I've been finding it kind of fun lately to exchange business cards with people I only see once or twice a year... lol
The other day, Mr. N said to me, “Not again!”
Exchanging business cards with people I know is my hobby! Please exchange cards with me again next year lol
And please enjoy my business card, which has changed just a little bit from last year (lol)
But that's beside the point.
In ground anchor construction, you perform tensioning, right?
You have to insert PC steel strands into the anchor head (the part where the wedges go), but it's a real hassle, isn't it!
And it takes up a lot of time for no reason, doesn't it?
So, are you using the wire shown in the photo above to make it easier to insert the steel wire?
Attaching a piece of wire to the end of the PC strand (by inserting it) and threading the soft wire through the anchor head makes it easier to insert.
It's a small thing, but it's very convenient when you have a lot of PC wire.
If there are only about four anchors, it’s easy to get them in, but any more than that and it just makes me mad (lol).
I think it's probably included with jacks from any major manufacturer, so please check the jack's box.
I don't see it being used very often, so I thought, "Maybe people don't know about it?" and decided to write this.
I'm sure most of you veterans already know this, though.
See you later.
I guess you could call it a guide wire. That's interesting☆
That's right.
Well, I guess some of you might not know this, lol
Just a quick intro, lol
The title was definitely "Guide Wire," wasn't it? My apologies! lol
No, no, lol
No problem lol
