Jig for Straight-Pulling PC Steel Wire (Part 1) | Construction

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. To be honest, I was actually planning to write today about how the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is open and transparent, while NEXCO is secretive. But after giving it some thought, I decided to write about the prestressed steel strands I mentioned the other day instead, lol. I figured I’d just end up writing about all of NEXCO’s shortcomings, so… lol…

Measures to Prevent Sand Ejection Caused by Groundwater Pressure in Anchor Construction (Part 3)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today, starting in the afternoon, Mr. Itabashi from Toyotoku Industries (Machinery Repair) came by our place to do some repairs. He taught me how to use the gouging tool and how to perform detailed maintenance on the hydraulic unit! It’s a huge help. Though, I really could use a mechanic, lol. But anyway…

Measures to Prevent Sand Ejection Caused by Groundwater Pressure in Anchor Construction (Part 2)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. All the construction projects I’m working on are getting pushed back, and there’s just nothing I can do about it lol. The general contractor doesn’t seem to care about the delays and just says, “You have to start on this date,” even though we’re behind schedule… That’s impossible, right? lol. I’m sure there are plenty of other construction companies thinking the same thing lol. Let’s be careful and take our time…

Measures to Prevent Sand Ejection Caused by Groundwater Pressure in Anchor Construction (Part 1)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I tried to see if I could carry a 133 double-pipe casing all by myself with one of our employees! Of course, this is how it turned out for me... But anyway, let’s talk about a common issue with temporary anchors: sand blowout caused by groundwater pressure. We really struggled with that at the site we were working on last week...

Concerns About Drilling and Excavation | On-Site Concerns

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m heading out to the job site starting today. Well, we finished the preparations last weekend, so we’re starting the drilling today. Actually, we could have drilled about one hole last Saturday. Since we’re using temporary anchors in sandy soil this time, I think the work will go surprisingly smoothly. And then…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Wow, today’s the day I’m heading back to Nagoya, lol. The other day, I told the couple who run the convenience store near the job site, “I’m heading back tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of me during my short stay here,” and they replied, “Thank you, too!” while…

Use Super Yellow for Drilling Length | Utilizing Color Paint

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. This is my last Sunday in Hokkaido. Since last night, I’ve been out having a blast with my employees in Obihiro. It was fun. It was just plain fun!! That said, there’s still a little construction work left to do on Monday, but since we’ve almost finished cleaning up and everything else, I’m feeling pretty relaxed. …
