Revised Responsibilities for Steel Fixer Chargehands:
Supervise the cutting, bending, and installation of steel reinforcement (rebar) to ensure alignment with structural drawings, specifications, and project tolerances.
Conduct daily inspections of rebar assemblies to verify compliance with safety standards, building codes (e.g., BS 4449, ACI), and design requirements for concrete structures.
Coordinate with concrete teams and contractors to synchronize rebar placement with pour schedules, avoiding delays or clashes with formwork or services.
Develop and enforce site-specific safety protocols for steel fixing, including handling sharp materials, working at height, and operating machinery (e.g., rebar cutters, benders).
Manage and mentor steel fixing crews, ensuring proper techniques (e.g., lap lengths, tying methods) and adherence to quality benchmarks.
Monitor inventory of steel reinforcement, ties, spacers, and accessories, coordinating timely procurement to maintain workflow efficiency.
Interpret structural and reinforcement drawings to guide accurate placement of rebar grids, cages, and mats, adjusting for design changes as needed.
Troubleshoot issues such as rebar misplacement, insufficient concrete cover, or corrosion protection deficiencies, resolving them before pours.
Liaise with engineers and site managers to address reinforcement conflicts, ensuring compliance with structural integrity requirements.
Oversee post-pour inspections to confirm rebar positioning and coverage, addressing any discrepancies in cured concrete.
Maintain records of steel fixing progress, material usage, and crew productivity for reporting to senior management.
Ensure proper storage and handling of rebar to prevent damage, rust, or contamination before concrete placement.
