Innovative Reinforcement Solutionsoptimising performance and value

Structural Fabrics
Due to recent advances in reinforcing steel and mesh production, it is now possible to supply a wide range of high ductile (grade 500C) fabrics. This enables the fast and high quality fabrication of sheets of bespoke reinforcing steel layouts, that can then be placed quickly and simply on site. The re-detailing of loose bar arrangements into structural fabric layouts can be carried out by the rebar fabricator and supplied to your site, with colour-coded drawings, for immediate placement.

Carpet Reinforcement
Carpet reinforcement is a one directional mat of prefabricated reinforcement supplied to site, ready to be installed. Since its conception as a reinforcement solution, it has been widely adopted and acknowledged as a fundamental element in flat slab modularization, and it has a number of inherent benefits including:

What is responsible sourcing? The Responsible Sourcing of Construction Products provides a holistic approach to managing a product from the point at which constituent materials are harvested / recovered through manufacture and fabrication, through use, re-use and recycling. Within Eco-Reinforcement, the Responsible Sourcing of reinforcing steel products is demonstrated through an ethos of supply chain management and product stewardship and encompasses social, economic and environmental dimensions.

It has been developed as a sector specific standard which complies fully with the requirements of BREs BES 6001 Framework Standard for the Responsible Sourcing of Construction Products. History Launched in May 2009, the Eco-Reinforcement standard was developed by a consortium of reinforcing steel producers and fabricators, in collaboration with BRE Global and a wide range of external stakeholders, to identify the priority areas of the sector and work towards consistent performance. principles from product level up through the supply chain.

Celsa Steel UK

The first

certified steel manufacturer

1100

Celsa Steel UK is a member of the Celsa Group, one of the largest steel manufacturers in Europe. Based in Cardiff, Celsa Steel UK provides the UK construction industry with over 60% of its reinforcing requirements, making them the largest producer of reinforcing products.

At Celsa, the need to manufacture quality products in a safe and sustainable manner is paramount. Certifications to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 OHSAS 18001 and the Eco-Reinforcement Responsible Sourcing Standard help us to achieve this goal, while conformance with British Standards is guaranteed via UK Cares product approval.

Celsa Steel UK recycles over 1.3 million tonnes of scrap metal annually. Our steel products are manufactured from 98% scrap metal, sourced from within the UK and Ireland.

Celsa Steel UK only produces Grade B500C reinforcing steel. This is high ductility reinforcement: the highest quality that can be specified in current British Standards. Grade B500C is over 50% more ductile than standard grade 500B material, a characteristic reflected in its extended load carrying capacity following yield.

Celsa use the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) method of steel production, which uses electricity to melt scrap metal. This is the most sustainable method of steel production available, performing significantly better in terms of embodied energy and CO2 emissions when compared to other steel making processes.

Celsa is committed to innovation, be it through internal development or academic research. This commitment has led to Celsa being the first UK mill to supply only Grade 500C reinforcing steel, in bar and in Celsamax coil, a unique rib pattern developed to improve coil handling and processing speeds. In 2009, Celsa became the only mill to supply 50mm Grade 500C.

Health and Safety Matters

BAR and its members actively encourage good health and safety practice. Part of this commitment is the publication of health and safety industry guidance. BAR has published the Code for Safe Off-loading of Reinforcement Fabric.Endorsed by the Health and Safety Executive(HSE), the code is aimed at all those involved in the off-loading of reinforcement from delivery vehicles. It highlights potential hazards and provides guidance on safe working practice. The code is followed by the Safe Off-loading of Cut and Bent Reinforcement. The primary objective of this code is to provide information and guidance to ensure the safe removal of bundles of cut and bent reinforcement from delivery vehicles. It covers planning for safe off-loading via the delivery plan and the preparation of the load for off-loading. The safety procedures outlined in the code have been drawn up in consultation with representatives from the HSE. A further document is the BAR Shape Code leaflet. This will provide a risk assessment for the manufacture of each of the BS8666 shape codes and will inform designers and specifiers as to what constitutes a high risk shape. It will also prove useful for BAR members production management teams. Copies of the Code for Safe Off-loading of Reinforcement Fabric, Code for Safe Off-loading of Cut and Bent Reinforcement and the BAR Shape Code leaflets can be downloaded from BARs website: www.uk-bar.org
