What on earth is 1,230 kg of cement slurry?!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. What Is the Mix Design for Cement Slurry? | A W/C Ratio of 50% Is the Standard for Slope Stabilization Work. To begin with, cement slurry is a paste-like grout made by mixing cement powder and water. In slope stabilization work, it is used in ground anchor work, rock bolt work, rebar insertion work…

The holding time during tensioning in ground anchor construction can be reduced!

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I went to the office last Sunday. There, I found a machine standing all alone in the silence. Just one finished machine, standing all by itself. I couldn’t help but grin at the machine’s aesthetic beauty lol. Machines really are great, aren’t they? Anyway, moving on to ground anchors…

Wouldn't it be better for the tension in ground anchor work to be lower than the design anchor force?

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. How much tension is typically applied to ground anchors? You probably don’t understand what I mean, do you? lol For example, as shown in the photo above, if the maximum test load is 39 MPa, the test is conducted by applying a load of 39 MPa. …

Leveling Mat

I’d like to see “Zabuton” frames combined with leveling mats become the standard solution for addressing unevenness in ground anchor construction!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I imagine you use zabuton frames when installing pressure plates in ground anchor construction. I suspect most consulting engineers involved in the design aren’t aware of this, but simply installing these frames doesn’t guarantee that you can completely level the ground. &nbsp…

The final and most critical step in ground anchor installation is applying anti-rust oil to the head!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The ground anchor project I worked on for the past three months has finally wrapped up. It was a seawall restoration project at a coastal site. The original seawall had collapsed due to the force of the backwash. The power of backwash is truly incredible, isn’t it? And now…

For those of you who can't sleep because your anchor is loose!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We recently welcomed another young new hire to the company. She’s still a fresh-faced teenager just out of her teens. If you see her on site, please give her a warm welcome. Please take your time training her^^ Anyway, back to the topic at hand—I got a bad feeling while we were installing ground anchors…
