Once we get the full length of steel bars at sight, bar bender then cuts the long lengths into the required lengths. These required lengths are taken from the drawing and are then binded with the help of binding wires.
A steel bar as brought from the factory. This is the picture of steel bar before cutting down into required pieces. The normal length of this bar is 40 feet with a fold at 20 feet. Steel is the main stay when we talk about reinforced concrete. This adds to the strength of our building.
In this picture we can see how the staircase is made. We can see the slanting shuttering of the staircase and also the steel bars tied with each other. This is the ramp that forms the base of the staircase, once this is made, steps are made afterwards
This is the picture of a construction site where a column is being erected. Here reinforced concrete is being used with steel being shown at the top. This top steel will then be tied with the roof steel and a proper joint will be made.
This picture shows how nominal mix is being made at the construction site. In this method, the labor makes a pit with sand and cement and then add water by approximation.
This method is widely used in low cost and residential construction.
This picture shows a steel beam. Steel beams are used in reinforced concrete and provide more strength to the structure.
Electricity conduits which are lay down after tying the roof iron bars with bending wires. These conduits are layed prior to concrete pouring and are fixed properly and checked as once we pour concrete, we can not change them afterwards
Concrete being poured on the iron mesh after being lifted in a trolley. This method of pouring concrete is very fast as compared to old method of using a carrying bucket.
A concrete mixer working at a residential area. This mixer saves a lot of time in manually mixing and lifting concrete to the roof. With the help of this machine, time spent as well as efforts are considerably reduced.
