Steel Reinforcement Fixing and Bar Bending Supervision

Reinforcement that is misplaced, badly lapped or poorly covered weakens a structure long before anyone can see the fault. This course equips site teams to read bar bending schedules, supervise cutting, bending and fixing, and check cover, spacing and laps before the concrete pour. It is grounded in the everyday realities of African building and civil sites where inspection windows are short and rework is expensive.
