Prior to unloading of reinforcement steel at site, the Manufacturer’s Test Certificate shall be
verified to ensure compliance with the contract Specifications in regard to mechanical and chemical
properties. If specified in the contract, a sample may be sent to an approved laboratory for testing. A
copy of the test certificate thus obtained shall be forwarded to the Consultant for information if specified
in the contract. A set copy of test reports from an independent laboratory will be attached for reference.
Prior to commencement of the cutting and bending operation, a bar bending schedule shall be
prepared by the Site Engineer and submitted to Consultant’s representative for approval.
Procurement of steel shall be synchronized with the construction programme without causing any
delay in the concreting schedule.
In handling and storage special care should be taken that exposure to contamination and moisture
is minimized.
All steel should be covered during transportation and storage as far as possible.
A proper storage area near to bar bending yard which has good access for delivery and adequate
space for offloading shall be planned.
Before unloading, the Storekeeper shall check the diameter of bars and number of bars in each
bundle. Any discrepancy must be brought to the notice of the supplier.
Systematic storage shall be planned for easy identification of different deliveries, sizes and types of
steel. Bars shall be stored in racks well clear of the ground. Similar care is needed after reinforcing
bars have been cut and bent while they are awaiting fixing in formwork.

Actual dimensions of the bars and links after bending shall be cross-checked with the approved bar
bending schedule and formwork dimensions.
In order to facilitate identification of bent bars, the schedule reference and bar mark indicated on
the bar bending schedule shall be attached to reinforcement bundles where possible.
The tolerances as specified shall be applicable for cutting and bending dimensions.
Overlaps will be provided as specified in contract specification. However, the approved bar bending
schedule and workshop drawings will be referred to in this matter.
While fixing reinforcement extra protruding rods for kickers/starters shall be provided wherever
indicated on the drawings.
The approved type of spacers will be used to support steel reinforcement and achieve the desired
concrete cover. They will be placed at least 1500 mm starting from the edge of the foundation.
The surveyor will mark reference lines on the protection screed concrete using chalks or markers.
Small lines for the bottom mesh bars will be marked.
The 12mm/16mm/20mm/25mm Ø B1 steel bars (X direction) will be placed on the marked lines on
the protection screed as per specification and shop drawing.
Mark the spacing for 12mm/16mm/20mm/25mm Ø B2 (Y direction) steel bars on B1.
Place steel reinforcing bar chairs and fix the legs to B2 steel bars. These chairs will support the top
mesh, i.e. T1 and T2.
For footing with thickness specified in the shop drawing, fix and complete the T1 and T2 of the top
reinforcement.
Openings will be provided in order to have access for carrying out the following works:
(a) Fixing of starter bars for columns and walls
(b) Fixing of MEP items such as pipes for sump pits, drainage, lightning arrestors, electrical
conduits, etc.
(c) Cleaning deep inside the mesh reinforcement
(d) Placement of concrete mix
(e) Insertion of poker vibrators.

With the aid of total station survey instrument, the surveyor will determine the corner points and
lines of the locations of the columns and mark them on either B4 or B2 bottom steel bars and T1
top steel bars.
With the reference lines marked, the starter bars will be fixed and tied properly to its correct position.
For added support and rigidity, a stirrup will be fixed on the starter bars just above the top mesh
reinforcement of the raft.
Spot levels will be fixed on the top mesh reinforcements in order to comply with the required slopes
and elevations of the finished concrete.
Ensure that fixings are firm so that the bars stay in their correct position while placing the concrete
and also under foot traffic.
Use soft iron binding wire at most intersection of bars in slabs and walls, and at intersection of main
bars and links or stirrups.
Bend the ends of all ties down or inwards so that does not project into the cover zone where they
might cause rusting.
7.8. Cover:
All top and bottom steel reinforcements must be embedded at a minimum distance from the
surface as shown in the drawings.
7.9. Spacers:
Ensure right types and sizes of spacers.
Ensure that the ends of bars have sufficient cover and that the stirrup `tails’ are bent in.
Small mortar blocks are normally used as cover blocks. Make sure that any wire cast into the blocks
is kept well away from the surface of the concrete.
All spacers must be strong enough to withstand foot traffic.
