DESCRIPTION
Finished element, formed by made-to-measure panels, flat or bent, and/or welded prepared reinforcements.
Replaces the traditional assembly on site.
Ready to be placed in the formwork and their immediate concreting.
Supplemented, if necessary, with other prefabricated or prepared reinforcements, they constitute the assembly of the concrete structures of buildings.
Welding and/or electrowelding is carried out according to the standard.
Manufactured in fixed industrial installations.
Suitable for use in works with execution control. (Decrease of action increase coefficients and subsequent savings in the total cost of the structural element).
They respond to a typology and fixed dimensions according to catalogue.
CHARACTERISTICS
Advantages of standard Reinforcements
Economic
Project execution cost
Standardised manufacturing allows for a high availability. Their production, according to catalogue, allows having stocks in distribution centres different to the production centres and, therefore, getting near to the works.
Reduction of the total cost of the structure. Standard reinforcements are suitable for the 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 reinforcements.
Immediate delivery as there is stock on site.
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).
Use of structural welding allows reduction of anchor lengths of the bars and avoids in many cases making bending elbows.
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.
Quality assurance
Manufactured according to a Quality Management System, they ensure minimum diameters of bending mandrels, and observing tolerances.
Plant Quality Director and Quality Coordinator for each work.
Welding and electrowelding: They are used in accordance with the legislation in force in each country.
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.
