Steel Fixer
Steel fixers position and secure steel bars or steel mesh
to reinforce concrete structures.
A steel fixer may perform the following tasks:
- read and interpret working plans and steel lists for the
job
- set out the work from these instructions
- make steel bars or mesh the required length by cutting
them with bolt cutters, guillotines and power saws
- assemble the reinforcing bars or mesh by welding, wiring
or clipping into predetermined locations within the concrete
- fabricate steel reinforcement as beams, footing pads or
special units
- join the prefabricated units together for large sections
of high rise or civil projects, and position the
reinforcement ready for concrete pours.
Steel fixers are mainly employed in the
industrial/commercial sectors of the building industry on
construction sites. They may also work in precast-concrete
plants, as well as in areas of pre-stressing, post-stressing
and tensioning, using hydraulic jacks and tensioning
mechanisms.
