Stay away from bridge decks if you can hamstrings will hate you at the end of the day haha. loved being an apprentice on bridge decks because we carried it all out the JIWs had to do the 50% tying haha
Rebar being tied in my understanding is only to hold bars in place before they're reinforced by concrete, I'll be starting my ironworking career next week
@@flacko001with the company I work with, hell. I work with my dad and brother and they Don't take it easy on my at all, you're outside working in the elements, packing a lot of weight while getting bitched at for not loving fast enough, I'm starting to really enjoy it now but at first it sucks
Gentleman, you can't introduce any heat to the Rebar. It will weaken the strength of the Rebar. That's why you don't tack weld intersections. Tie Wire is a sufficient means.
Jerry Hubbard did they have a reason? normally the smaller the bar the more ties we put on it, but the 32mm bars we normally put a few ties on a 6m length.
Back in the day, everything relating to nuclear was overdone or engineered. I guess they took no chances that it was being done right. Even the # 18 bars were tied at every joint with 9 gauge wire. The outside retaining wall, 4 feet thick, 400 feet in circumference had 60 % steel in the concrete. Some of the steel was so tight the entire pour and slip form had to be cleaned after all the re-bar was installed. If anyone was caught throwing anything in the form before pouring including spitting, you were fired on the spot. They took this stuff seriously.
Jerry Hubbard thanks for the reply, sounds like a good job to have been involved it. did you use a high flow concrete to help get around the steel congestion? i bet u guys had to make sure u caught all ur wire cut offs to
believe it or not, the concrete was poured at no more than a 4-inch slump. They used 2-inch vibrators and plenty of them to get the concrete in place. All concrete poured in an area they called safety related, which meant it was anywhere around the containment building had to be 5000 psi. The concrete poured inside that reactor building that the steam generators and the vessel itself were a 9000 psi concrete. It had steel pellets in it. As far as cutoff wire, before the concrete was poured, the labor force would come in with water and air jet hoses and clean out anything that fell into the formwork. At the bottom of all the forms were clean out holes. NO cut off wire was left in the pour. It was hard work especially in the summer here in South Carolina.
Jerry Hubbard i would have loved to be on that job, concrete construction is my favourite job. ive been formworking for 13 years now. my trade has taken me to every state in australia i have done the same process with clean out holes and air hoses aswell,
Very nice job because of your vlog tutorial I got some knowledge from you
Great info with tying requirements.

MY JOB AS AN INSPECTOR
An inspector was not a real job! it's a job of a guy who tell im doing my job right ;)
informative
Where do you get the grip they add to their pliers
golf club grip. get the "oversize" size
dont use pliers, get a good pair of knipex concretors nips
We use the tips of the hoses they usr to collect milk from cows on farms lol NIPPLE grips
Nips are so much easier to tie imo
@@HgHgHgHgHgHgHgHg uh sorry no
thanks for sharing
Nice
I wonder why not spot welding them?😳
Wouldn't it be easier and faster?

faster tying it

You guys in America are so far behind you still use pliers. Here in Australia we use end kippers which is faster and stronger so get with the times
What are end kippers
Can a tie wire be an electric, plastic coated copper wire? Should the plastic coating be removed from the wire?
Thanks
You do not want to use different metals to tie rebar because of galvanic corrosion.
Too many double cutters

First impression of video. Yeah THIS job doesn't look hard on your back.... not!
Pete Andrews man work son😎
@@peteandrews5674 no incorrect I currently work as one and I make $890 a week just to read the drawings

Erick Gonzalez you hang steel or tie rebar ? lol
Dont leave long tails. My forearms are a scar fill testament.
God I fucking hate tying bar 😂like fucking hate it !😂
on a nuclear power plant, we had to tie every bar at every joint.
