Important Steps In The Use Of Tie Wires During Construction

By George McDonald


Building and construction is a long and complex process that requires so much to achieve the best results. The best structures require that proper planning and preparation be done before the actual act of construction begins. Selecting the right and all the materials required is very important, and one of the most important materials are tie wires when doing concrete constructions. The main thing to acquire the technical design of your house from an architect or an engineer.

Purchase the required re-bars as your engineer or constructor will instruct, based on the plan. Buying your ties guided by the plan helps you to approximate, almost with exactness, the type and size of a reinforcing bar required. Further, making the purchase before the beginning of a construction helps in identifying any deficits, be they financial or material. It, therefore, provides a good opportunity to evaluate your readiness to begin the work of construction.

Thirdly, note that there are different methods that you can use to join the other accessories. It is very important that you decide which method would be effective and also within the budget line. There is the tie bag spinner, which is very effective but more expensive. Then there is the comparatively cheaper steeled wire which has been annealed to make it easy to bend without causing breakages.

Based on your architectural design, decide if you will make the concrete first for your slabs or if you will need to make the re-bar before applying the concrete. This decision before the actual construction is very important because it helps you know exactly what goes where. This way, your work will not suffer unnecessary interruptions that sometimes occur due to impromptu changes and decisions that had not earlier been prepared for.

Remove the ties from the container in which you purchased them or where you placed them and sort them out. Sorting your accessories before the actual tying will help you to organize your work and make you work efficiently. It will also help you identify any gaps that may be existing so that you address them early enough, instead of realizing that on the way.

The next step, after ensuring that everything is okay, is to start tying. Making the bars requires some degree of professionalism and experience. This is because you will need to place each re-bar where and how it is supposed to be so that the building may achieve the intended strength and stability.

Fasten the ties using a pair of pliers. Regardless of the kind of structure, you will need to make the ties as tight as possible. This ensures that the re-bar is effectively fastened and, thus, enhances the strength and stability of the house. Do these using pliers because it is simple to use. This step may appear simple, but it is advisable to depend on experience when doing it or if you ask someone else to fasten.

The bottom line is that any construction of houses that require concrete will call for the reinforcing bar. This increases the quality of your house regarding minimum standards. For a constructor who wants to ensure good work in making the re-bar, following these steps would help in achieving that.
