Is Anti-Rust Oil for Rebar Insertion Tools Really Necessary? | Galvanized HDZT77 and the Limit of Oxidation Degradation
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s been really hot every day, huh? lol The job site has been like a steam room since this morning, and it feels like my stamina’s going to wear out first. Let’s make sure to stay hydrated and get enough salt! ^^ But anyway, this time I’d like to talk about “the rust-preventive oil used in the heads of rebar insertion tools—is it really…”
The Argument Against Using Aluminum Caps for Rebar Insertion | 8 Reasons to Reevaluate NEXCO Specifications
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, at a slope construction site not contracted by NEXCO, I noticed that the rebar insertion tools weren’t fitted with caps at the ends. I thought, “Oh, so we’ve finally gotten this far,” so I’m going to write another post that’ll probably make the material manufacturers hate me lol. To cut to the chase…
Application of Anti-Rust Oil to the Heads of Ground Anchors
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, we invited someone from the Public Works Research Institute to help us manage our nerves. The most important thing when it comes to nerves is, of course, not to lose your cool (lol). That’s the top priority. To be honest, personally, I don’t even care about management data or anything like that…
Where Is the Construction Error in the Ground Anchor Work? (Part 4)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been meeting with my blog readers quite often lately, and I’m really happy about that. Even though I feel a bit of pressure knowing you’re looking forward to it (lol), talking about slope stabilization is a lot of fun ^^ I’ll continue to share useful on-site tips with you all as much as I can…
The Anchorhead Situation in a Few Years
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m currently working on load relief at a construction site where work is underway. I’m relieving the load on an anchor that’s been under tension. I haven’t checked to see if it’s been retensioned afterward. What I want to point out is the rust on the head. It’s an anchor that’s been in place for several years now…
Do you know how long the rust-preventive oil inside the cap used for head treatment lasts?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Just like the other day, I’d like to ramble a bit about something that made me go, “Huh?” when I attended a study session. As public works contractors, we use materials manufactured by suppliers specifically for public projects in our construction work. To put it simply, the structures we build generally last about 50 years…
Unless it's an exceptional case, you don't need a coupler when inserting rebar!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, I’ve been drilling holes for rebar insertion at a construction site. Unusually for this site, the general contractor is supplying the materials. The total drilling length is 3.5 meters, but we’re connecting a 2.0-meter section and a 1.5-meter section using couplers. Since that’s how the design calls for it, I guess that’s just how it is…
As a general rule, anti-rust oil should be applied to the heads of ground anchors.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s suddenly gotten a lot colder, so I’m thinking, “I’ve got to get ready for winter!” and am making arrangements to distribute winter uniforms lol. At our company, we provide uniforms once a year for both summer and winter—two sets for new hires and one set for existing employees. Well, you can wear other work clothes too, but for now…
Even if you remove the bolt from the aluminum cap, the air won't escape.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was doing some work on the ends of rebar inserts and thought, “Huh?” lol. You tighten the nut with a pipe wrench until it’s secure enough not to come loose. Then you put the aluminum cap on. That’s it, right? So, you remove the bolt from the end…
