I was able to get the digital display working on the tension machine | DIY Equipment
Hello, everyone. It's Enta. What do you think of this? It's super cool!! No, wait—it was actually super easy to use!!! It's bare right now, so I'm thinking of adding a cover (the display is hard to see during the day). The photos are also absolutely fantastic, and the atmosphere of the photos…
Digitization of Ground Anchor Tension Tests | Setting Up Automatic Control
Hello, everyone. It's Enta here. I finally got that thing done lol. It looks super cool!! What do you think? lol You connect this partway into the pressure gauge to use it. It works with either 100V or 200V. The only thing I'm wondering is whether it'll work with a pseudo-sine wave...
Learning from Past Projects Can Benefit the Present | Analysis
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I noticed a PC load-bearing plate on a slope near our construction site. I wonder if the anchors are SEEE. It seems the natural ground was quite unstable when it was installed. As evidence of this, there were grout-filled pads in place. They looked like cloth...
The Shift from Analog to Digital, Finally | DX
Hello, everyone. It's Enta. Here it is! This is it!!! Well, I'm sure those in the know will recognize it right away—it's a pressure gauge. A digital one, lol. It might be hard to tell at first glance, but it's about the size of a fist. As for what I'm going to use this for...
Timing of Packer Injection | Anchor Work
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. In ground anchor construction, we inject cement slurry into areas riddled with cracks (joints). But it just leaks out like crazy, so no matter how much slurry we have (I’ll just call it “slurry” from now on), it’s never enough lol. That’s where the packer comes in…
The position of the formwork cutout precisely offsets the rebar | Formwork Construction
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. In formwork construction, you lay out the rebar, right? You install main anchors at the intersections. This is standard formwork construction. Now, suppose rebar insertion work or ground anchor work is added here. In that case, at these intersections, there would be void pipes or PVC pipes…
Make it Easy to See for Great Photos | Construction Photos
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. There’s one thing that really stresses me out when it comes to managing my nerves, lol. Sure, there’s time management (aptitude and confirmation tests) and all that, but setting that aside for now, it’s the jack. I don’t mind that the jack is heavy or anything, but is there any way to deal with that gauge?…
Tips for Speeding Up Prestressing | Anchor Installation
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was working on a tensioning job in freezing cold weather. And today, I’m in Gero City, where it’s even colder… Gero is famous for its hot springs, but I’m heading right back out of there lol. Man, it’s cold lol. Anyway, moving on—regarding the temporary anchors, the prestressed steel strands…
Building a Pressure Valve for Pressure Injection | DIY Equipment
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I made a pressure relief valve for the first time in a while. I ordered the materials in advance, and after returning from the job site, I welded and assembled them. Since the parts are laser-cut to fit fairly precisely, assembly is easy. I cut a 1-inch nipple in half to create the inlet and the pressure relief…
