DESCRIPTION
Finished or semi-finished elements, formed by welded prepared reinforcements and/or flat or bent made-to-measure panels.
Ready to be placed in the formwork and their immediate concreting.
Replaces traditional “on site assembly”, by the direct placing of the prefabricated reinforcement in the formwork.
Welding and/or electrowelding is carried out according to the standard.
Manufactured in fixed industrial installations and with a certification system, according to the standard.
Suitable for use in works with execution control.
Replaces welding on site.
CHARACTERISTICS
Advantages of prefabricated industrial reinforcements
Economic
Project execution cost
Reduction of the total cost of the structure.
Prefabricated Industrial Reinforcements suitable for control of execution, which involves significant savings in the construction.
Reduction of human resources and suppression of material means for producing and assembling reinforcements on site.
Reduction of deadlines for execution of the structure with new construction methods that replace on site assembly with prefabricated industrial reinforcements.
Reduction of the space needed for producing reinforcements and stockpiling commercial bars, fundamental in urban works.
Use of small lorries for delivery to urban works (contrary to what would be required to provide commercial bars).
The use of structural welding allows reduction of the lengths of the anchors of the bars.
Cost of non-quality during the life of the structure
Industrialisation standardises production, allowing minimum tolerances in measurements and angles, therefore not originating execution costs inherent in excess of tolerance.
Non-quality is the decisive cause of the problems that appear during the life of the concrete structures.
In the case of buildings, risk reduction can provide significant savings in the Guarantee and in its incidents.
Quality assurance
Manufactured according to a Quality Management System.
Plant Quality Director and Quality Coordinator for each work.
Welding and electrowelding: They are used in accordance with the standard.
Traceability System: The following are recorded in the database of each works and for each position of the drawings: data of the casting of all commercial steel used and specific parameters of the manufacturing processes and operators who have taken part.
Delivery of technical documentation: With regard to the raw material used, to manufacturing processes, and the reinforcements served.
Guarantee Certificate: document enclosed with the delivery note of each shipment.
Check-list, which is enclosed with the previous documents, which indicates the controls carried out in the plant itself on the specific reinforcements of each shipment.
Improvements in Health and Safety
Work in the industrial plant facilitates control of the risk and allows implementation of an occupational risk prevention management system.
Decreasing human resources reduces the number of accidents.
Improvements in the Environment
As a result of production in Fixed Plant.
The waste generated in industrial facilities is correctly managed.
There is a decrease of the remains of leftover materials on site, and of noise pollution in urban areas at the time of the manufacture in the
industrial plant.
