Steel is at the heart of any construction as it
is the single most important metal that constitutes the framework of
construction and is also used for reinforcement of concrete structures. The
steel that is used for construction of any kind comes in the form of bars and
rods that are tied with steel wire and even welded to give shape to the basic
structure of the construction. It is also embedded in concrete for
reinforcement. The detailed structural engineering necessitates working out the
details of rebars with respect to its configuration in the entire structure.
This exercise is known as Rebar Detailing Services and is usually outsourced by the companies that manage
projects.
Outsourced service
Rebars are indispensable elements of structural engineering that finds
application is all kinds of construction elements like walls, foundations,
slabs, columns, beams, staircases, pits elevators and many more. There are many
service companies that have become valuable resources for a host of engineering
services related to civil engineering and mechanical engineering that are
usually outsourced by the construction companies. These outsourcing companies
are competent to handle anything related to structural engineering services
including Rebar Detailing Services
which is a component of structural detailing.
The services are applicable for both steel and RCC structures.

The importance of detailing
Why Rebar Detailing Service is considered a very important for the
construction industry? The strength of a
building depends upon the design and structural integrity of the construction that
in turn depends on the structural elements that go in to its making of which
rebars are the most important component.
The cost of construction is determined by the quality
and quantity of rebars that are used. And the quantity of rebars can be
estimated only through complete drawings of the structure that show the
positions and layout pattern of the rebars in various construction elements.
Therefore, the accuracy of the rebar details is critical to the quality of
construction as well as in determining its cost.
Rebar estimation helps to generate data that is
necessary to plan the supply logistics of the project. It becomes clear, which
kinds of rebars need to be supplied at various stages of construction.
Specialized service
There are two reasons why Rebar Detailing Services are outsourced by the construction
companies. The first is that it is a
highly specialized service that is rendered by trained professionals who are
competent to undertake the job. The second reason is that people working in the
construction industry do not have the specialization that is required and the
service does not match with the core activities of the company – hence
outsourcing is a time saving and cheaper option.

Scope of service
A typical rebar detailing service could include
the following.
- Shop drawing services for rebars.
- Rebars placement drawing services
- Services for bar bending schedules.
- Detaining services for retaining walls.
- As built drawing services.
- Rebar design service.
- Rebar foundation detailing services.
- Detailing services for concrete masonry.
Structural engineers and architects are the main beneficiaries of
professional rebar detailing services
that adds value to the construction.
