Good Detailing & Scheduling of reinforcement helps the construction process considerably by minimising costs, delays and disputes, by easing the steelfixer's task and by providing the contractor with a certain amount of flexibility both in fixing and construction staging.

Poor Detailing & Scheduling can prove extremely costly and detrimental to construction.

Site checking is a great deal easier if details are kept simple.

Checklists provide a means of ensuring that all steps and factors are taken into account when designing, detailing, scheduling and installing rebar and that everything is in order before pouring concrete.

In order to promote a fully professional approach to the detailing of reinforcing steel, SARCEA has for many years provided lectures, assisted by a video and backed by site and steel yard visits, to final year University, Technicon and Draughting School students.
