Pre-assemblies
Stainless steel pre-assemblies are cost effective
In an environment contaminated with chlorides, stainless steel pre-assemblies are cost effective not only because of the extended service life and associated lower life cycle cost benefits of using a superior corrosion resistant rebar product (for more, see “Why Use Stainless” ), but also because of the field efficiency and safety benefits of pre-assembled rebar products.
Producers of precast reinforced concrete products may be a small family-run enterprise, a local medium or large-scale business, or a trans-national multi-plant supplier of building products. Despite the size of operation, there is a move among pre-casters to acquire pre-welded rebar assemblies to speed up production and reduce overhead costs.
