Rebar Cage Fabrication


Fabrication must be carried out on a level surface, strictly according to the approved rebar drawing, covering design length, rebar size and number, spacing, lapping, spacers, and cover blocks. Care must be taken during fabrication and handling to prevent the steel cage from bending or twisting. It must be pre-inspected and approved by the consultant inspector. The rebar cage must be prepared and ready for installation immediately after the bored hole drilling is completed. Achieving the correct concrete cover for the rebar cage in the ground is extremely important. A sufficient number of spacers must be installed to ensure a 75mm concrete cover. Plastic or metal spacers are commonly used; if metal spacers are used, they must be pre-coated with anti-rust paint to prevent corrosion.


Rebar Cage Installation


Rebar cages should be moved to the closest possible location near the bored hole and lifted by a crane into a vertical position. They must be lowered slowly and carefully into the hole, ensuring they are centered and straight. Lapping points on the rebar cage must be securely fastened with binding wire or U-bolts. The specified number of spiral ties must be installed at the lapping zones with the correct spacing. (If steel pipes are to be installed for a cross-hole sonic logging test, the pipe connections must be properly welded to be watertight. Pipe caps must be installed at the top and bottom of the pile. The steel pipes must be tied securely to the rebar cage to hold them in the correct position and prevent movement.) Only after everything has been thoroughly checked should the entire steel cage be lowered into the pile section by section, slowly and continuously.


Pile Cut-Off Level Under Natural Ground Level (N.G.L)


Some piles are located below the natural ground level. If the drilling operation is conducted from the N.G.L, the rebar cage must be lowered to reach the pile cut-off level deep below. In this situation, the required level drop for the rebar cage is calculated by sounding measurement, and auxiliary steel bars (hanging bars) are pre-cut and used to suspend and lower the cage. The top of the hanging bar is bent into a hook, placed over a steel pipe, which is then rested on the casing frame. After the concreting work is completed, these hanging bars are cut off.

After the rebar cage is installed, the casing level must be re-checked by survey to verify its level is correct.
