Handling & Storage of Rebar
Simple Steps Save Time and Effort
• Order the rebar with the construction schedule in mind.
• When rebar is delivered to the site, check the shipping list or manifest, dray ticket or loading sheet as each bundle is unloaded.
• Save time by hoisting the bundles of bars directly from the truck to the area on the structure where the bars are going to be placed.
• Put bundles in an area with easy access for re-handling. Make sure the rebar is placed on timbers to keep it away from mud or standing water.
• Keep stockpiles orderly. Straight bars are usually stored by sizes and by lengths for easy identification. Stockpile similar bent bars together.
• Make
sure all bar tags are at the same end for quick identification. When bars
are removed, make sure the bar tag stays with the bundle and doesn't
get lost.
