A steel fixer installs and ties together reinforced bars used to strengthen buildings and engineering structures from housing to bridges. Our team at KASTHEW Construction Company Uganda Ltd begins the work by setting out the work area following engineering plans. They have to use hand and power tools to cut and bend bars. They will fix the formwork and shuttering used to hold setting concrete in place and after that they will fix the steel to concrete bases. Installing beams and pre-cast slabs and joining cages and sections is also a part of the job.

Fixing is fastening the steel reinforcing bars so that they stay in the correct place between the spacers and relative to each other. The steel must stay in place while workers walk on it, while concrete is being placed and during compaction. Tie-wire is used at the junctions of bars to hold them together, it must be tied tightly and free ends must not protrude into the cover space. All pieces of tie-wire must be removed from the formwork before concreting otherwise rust-stains will occur soon on the finished product. But enough with the explanations, our team knows what to do and if you leave your work in their hands you will be completely satisfied with it.

Together these provide building footings, slabs, columns and pile caps or anywhere that concrete might need to be reinforced.

Not an easy function, the Fixing teams will distribute delivered rebar from safe laydown points to the point of placing to a reasonable distance +/-20 meters, Bars often weighing up to 36kg each can require significant strength and coordination only achievable by human labour. Any vertical distribution up or down building levels should be provided by our team with crane or other hoisting means.

Steel fixers jobs are to tie the steel, Sites should ensure prior to their arrival that areas of work are properly prepared and ready for the placing to commence. As work is often in foots-in and trenches it is important that work areas are safe and dewatered to a condition safe for the steel fixers to perform.

Inspections of surfaces and prior trades should be completed by the contractor to ascertain that the steel fixing can safely commence.
