The three main operations carried out in rebaring for reinforced concrete construction bars are cutting, bending and tying. The diameter of reinforcement bars used reinforced concrete work mainly ranges from 6 to 42mm. These reinforcement bars come from the steel mill in specified lengths.

So, during installation, the reinforcement bars must be cut into the required size. The design engineer shows the details about the bars bending and related works, based on which the workers proceed with the work. The rigid connection is made between all the members of the rebars with the help of steel wires.

There are many agencies, that supply the bar bending, cutting and tying operation, based on the set of specifications provided to them. These suppliers also advise whether the concrete formwork must fully or completely be erected before they are ready to supply the tied-up bars as per specification.

Safety During Rebaring

To prevent injury, the bars that are extended intentionally for later work must be covered with any plastic caps or “plate caps”. There are certain caps called mushroom caps, that too can be provided so that scratches or injuries can be avoided.
