The capacity / size of the above tools and equipment shall be judged in accordance with site
conditions, requirements, and availability at the time of execution
8.0 SAFETY & HEALTH
Safety of the personnel and properties is to be given prime importance and all the works to be carried out without causing any accidents or property damages.
Reinforcing bars involves the following activities.
1. Storage
2. Transportation of steel bars.
3- Fabricating and fixing reinforcement steel.
4- Lifting of steel at site
Adequate access and egress should be provided to the site for work. All the personnel should wear basic personnel protective equipments. All the equipments,
tools and tackles being used for the work should be in good working condition and maintained. All the personnel will be provided with toolbox talk on the
procedures to execute the work safely.
9.0 PROCEDURE
9.1. Storage and Handling:
The reinforcement shall be ordered from the approved cut & bend sub-contractor / supplier with all necessary documentation as required.
Once offloaded the reinforcement shall be checked against the documentation to ensure compliance. Once the delivery order and mill certificate have
been stamped with acceptance by the CONTRACTORQCE, the material shall be stacked in the storage yards/ lay down area.
The storage yards shall be set up to ensure that the quality of the reinforcement does not fall below acceptable limits before it’s’ placement at site. To
ensure this:
i) Keep material off the ground by supporting by timber / concrete pad at all times.
ii) Keep material covered whenever possible.
iii) Handle and stack material to prevent deformation.

The straight bars received at site will be stacked in the steel yard. The steel
reinforcement shall be stacked clear off the ground and covered with polyethylene sheet
to protect from moisture.
As per the construction program and the priority given by the construction manager to
steel general foreman, the cutting and bending of steel reinforcement for that particular
structural element will commence as per the approved shop drawings and bar bending
schedule (BBS).
The cut length will be marked with a steel measuring tape, as shown in the BBS.
The bar will be cut with a shear line cutting machine.
For straight bars, after cutting the required numbers, it will be bundled and tagged with
bar mark number and stack for delivery to site.
For stirrups and cranked bars, the cut bars will be taken to the bending machine and
bend as per dimensions in the BBS. During bending process re-check randomly with a
template for dimensions.
Upon completing the required numbers, bundle and tag the bars with bar mark number
and stack for delivery to site.
9.3 Fixing Reinforcement:
MIR shall be submitted along with certificates prior to proceeding.
Steel fixing to be done as per approved shop drawing.
Steel fixer foreman will check the marking tag of the cut and bend steel and distribute to designated location in sequence.
Fabricated “cages” not required immediately at site shall be stored in a manner similar to the reinforcement bundles and shall be protected properly.
Storage of reinforcement in any form shall not be in excessive quantities so as to minimize storage time and hence degradation of material.
9.4 Site Installation:
Setting out shall be marked by the surveyor prior to proceeding.
Necessary scaffolding shall be provided for binding fixing steel.
Prefabricated steel shall be placed in position as per approved shop drawings of the related structural member i.e. raft, column, beam, slab and other
structural members.
Approved 1.6mm dia. galvanized / black annealed mild steel wire shall be used to tie reinforcing bar. The ends of the wire shall be bend back away.
Spacer blocks of approved type will be used to maintain the cover.
Support the reinforcing bar by approved spacers appropriately to prevent displacement during concreting operation. The thickness of cover block shall
be as per approved shop drawings or specifications.
Overlap location and additional bar shall be maintained as per approved shop drawings.
After completion of main mesh for raft, column starter bars shall be provided as per setting out details.
While fixing of steel reinforcing bars, care will be taken to see that proper concrete cover is available for bottom, top, sides and edges.
