Over the past century reinforcing concrete structures have remained virtually unchanged. Individual reinforcing bars are placed, and hand tied together into large mats of steel. This process is very labor intensive and costly.
In 1992 a European innovation was introduced to the United States that simplified concrete construction, when the first welded wire reinforcement manufacturing facility was built in Hazelton, PA.
Welded wire reinforcement is the prefabrication of reinforcing bars into large mats of steel. The placement of welded wire reinforcement reduces the labor to install reinforcing steel by 200% to 400% over conventionally hand tied rebar.
There is a demand for welded wire reinforcement by contractor, but projects are typically designed in conventional rebar.
Steel Reinforcement Systems provides a bridge between the contractors and the mills by evaluating, estimating, biding, converting, detailing, selling, and managing the deliveries of welded wire reinforcement on conventional reinforced projects. Providing the contractor and the mill with an effortless solution to their reinforcing steel needs.
