Selecting the Right Cement and Flow Tests | Cost Estimation on Emergency Design Sites

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. For the past few days, I’ve been swamped with designing and estimating for a slope that suddenly collapsed out of nowhere... And all I keep hearing is, “Pay up first!”... No, no—I can’t release the funds until we figure out the construction method and quantities first, right!? Haha. Well then, just make up your minds already!…

Cement Slurry Won't Stop (Part 3) | Comparison of Packer Types

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Next week, our projects are overlapping in a way that’s impossible to manage, so we’ve decided to put one of them on hold... Things were looking like they’d run smoothly, but one project fell behind and another got moved up, so we couldn’t work it out... orz Sorry for the inconvenience. The project with the 300 legal limit is also...

The Cement Slurry Won't Stop (Part 2) | Plugging the Hole with a Packer

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. What should you do if the grout won’t rise? Based on the diagram from last time, you just need to seal holes 1 and 2. (In reality, you don’t know exactly where the holes or cracks are. It’s easier to find out if you insert a fiberscope.) That…

The Cement Slurry Won't Stop (Part 1) | What Is a Packer?

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta. I’ve been swamped with work ever since Golden Week ended. Finally! I’m so happy! All the machinery in the warehouse is going to be removed.

How to Use the Grout Calculation Tool | Automatic Calculation Based on Drill Hole Diameter and Length

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s that time of year again for the labor cost survey. This is such a hassle. The office staff… lol. They grumble about it every year. The office staff, lol. Plus, since we get assigned to several locations at once, we end up turning down a bunch of them and only going to one—but honestly, it’s a pain. Construction CALS, and…
