Cutting Steel (Part 3) | Cutting Thick Materials
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Cutting Through Steel! (Part 1) Cutting Through Steel! (Part 2) Lately, I’ve been battling water almost every day. The reason is that during temporary anchor installation, there was a lot of pressurized water and the pressure was high, which made it really tough, but I’m managing to figure it out through trial and error! lol Things like this…
Cutting Steel (Part 2) | Comparison of Cutting Tools
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Cutting Iron! (Part 1) This is a follow-up to my post from the other day, lol. This time, take a look at the before-and-after comparison. Here’s what it looks like. You can see that the composite material was worn down quite a bit between the “before” and “after.” Since the two pieces of iron tend to slip against each other, I placed something underneath to hold them in place…
Finding the Right Solution for Each Situation | Making Decisions on a Case-by-Case Basis
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Working on a hot griddle is absolutely hellishly hot, isn’t it? lol Lately, I’ve been working in an environment that feels like I’m an egg being fried. I mean, it’s not even that time of year yet. But anyway… In an environment like the one described above, I’ve never before (in 25 years…)
Cutting Steel! (Part 1) | Cutting Tools Series
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Have you ever used a steel-cutting bit? I’ve used one twice in the past. That was during a catch basin project. I used it to cut liner plates. I think I used a composite type back then. This one…
Drilling in Areas with High Water Content | Groundwater Management
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. In my recent YouTube video about the Moldam construction method, I seem to have mistakenly referred to “Green Panel” as “Gree Panel”—my apologies to the manufacturer! I made a mistake, but since it’d be a hassle to fix, please cut me some slack lol. Here’s the video in question. Have fun spotting the mistake lol. Anyway…
Is it easier to understand if you skip the basic exam!?
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’d like to upload the next video on the Moldam method, but please bear with me a little longer lol (Some of my senior colleagues have been asking when the next one is coming lol). I also received two of these items I’d ordered, and I’d like to share my impressions of them lol. But I can’t do that until I edit the video, so…
A Moment from the Compressive Strength Test | Test Video
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, we conducted a compressive strength test. It was the 3-day strength test as part of the basic testing. The results showed an average of about 38 kN, so there were no issues. Also, this time, I captured the moment the test specimen burst. Here’s what it looked like! I’ll share this as a video…
Setting the Installation Location for Ground Anchors | Marking
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. How do you go about positioning ground anchors during installation? I get asked about this quite often, so I thought I’d write about it this time. The drawings are actually quite vague on this point. That said, when it comes to the design cross-section…
Why Ground Anchor Construction Is Expensive | The Basis for Unit Prices
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’re currently working on a ground anchor project. We’re drilling holes up to 70 meters long. It’s a length we don’t often see, so it’s proving to be quite a challenge, haha. That said, we did install a 60-meter anchor last year as well. Long anchors…
