The era of the 21st century has advanced a lot, and it is all because of the use of the
latest tools, technology, and software that are now available in the market to make the
workflow easier, safer, and more cost-effective. If talking about the services in
structural engineering services, rebar detailing services is indeed playing an
important role.
The blog today shared by us reveals as well as discloses rebar detailing workflow in
general. This is the process that is being adhered to by the rebar detailing services
provider. So, let us now proceed further and check on these details further.
Rebar Detailing is a process that is playing an important as well as an integral part in
the overall structural integrity of a building. Without proper considering of rebar
engineering services, the architectural plans are not finalized. Thus, as soon as the
architectural plans are finalized and the team of structural engineer complete
preparing rebar shop drawings, it is the rebar detailers who then comes into limelight.
We at Silicon Engineering Consultants Pty Ltd are one of the leading rebar detailing
companies that offer full-fledged assistance and support in all types of small and big
rebar detailing projects.
The role of a rebar detailer is known to be a problem solver. At times it is been
observed that the rebar detailing services undertaken are not understood by the
stakeholders of the project and thus it is the time where being a rebar detailer will be
solving the problem and will be putting the puzzle pieces all together at one place so
that the right drawings are being completed.
While outsourcing rebar detailing work, it is mandatory that the rebar engineer must
have good as well as sound knowledge of understanding civil and structural
engineering work more accurately and with perfection. This is with regards to the
transportation of steel panels, their fabrication, and also with the erection of these
panels at the right place and with the right size and shape. Just having knowledge
and understanding of the software does not qualify for a job as a rebar detailer.
Moving further, once the structural engineer creates as well as prepares the model
with the required specifications for the rebar project, it is the rebar detailer who will
then later be interpreting the engineer’s drawing. This is the time where the rebar
detailer will come ours with two sets of drawings. These drawings are (a) bar bending
schedules (BBS) or rebar shop drawings and (b) rebar placement drawings. When
these sets of drawings are being presented it is the core responsibility to get them
verified and this is the work that is been done by the structural engineer before the
actual construction takes place.
The next that comes in creating the bar bending schedules or the shop drawings for
the project. It is the time where the role of a fabrication shop detailer is to ensure that
they share the information with the rebar detailer regarding the maximum truck
weights, minimum safe bending numbers, and the lead time. It is that once the initial
set of the work is done, then comes the final stage of the drawings. It is that the final
drawings will thus contain all the specifications and requirement that is being
demanded by the rebar fabricators to give proper shape and size to form accurate
steel rods. Furthermore, now it is a fabricator who will be then cutting the rebar that at
the later stage will be embedded into the concrete. This process of shop drawings
thus provides detailed information of each rebar piece that is required to be formed
and then fabricated at the shop.
Now comes the stage where these rebar placement drawings need to be prepared
with the close association of different team members like the General contractor,
rebar site foreman, and structural engineer. If at all there is any set of information
missing, those are been fulfilled by asking through the request for information (RFI).
This is being actually initiated and directed to the general contractor. These drawings
then are forwarded to the team of structural engineers. Not only this but the
engineers who are at the construction site are also the point of contact for the
detailer to get the information and assistance if at all they are facing any issues in
understanding the work. The final outcome of the entire exercise is an accurate
placement drawing that is sent to the engineer for approval.
Last but not least. It is the core responsibility of a rebar detailer to make sure that all
the designs and rebar shop drawings are prepared with the use of industry-standard
and are adhering to all procedural formalities to ensure the safety of the building in
its entire lifecycle.
After a detailed reviewing, we have listed five key things that rebar detailers need to
mandatorily consider when working on rebar detailing projects or creating detailing
rebars.
★ Bar handling
★ The clashes
★ The fabrication requirements
★ The efficiency of fixing
★ Value engineering
Software used by Rebar Detailers
It is necessary that rebar detailing services providers should be upfront and share the
list of the software that is used in the project so that the stakeholders are well aware
of all the important data that is being taken into consideration for the project. Having
said this here is the list as shared below.
★ Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD)
★ Autodesk Rebar
★ RebarCAD
★ Solidworks
★ Tekla Structures
