New Technology Comes to Herbert Construction!

New Technology Comes to Herbert Construction!

This year we purchased an incredible assembly line that will speed up the cutting of our rebar reinforcing.

Our new high-tech sheer line uses a belt to feed the rebar into a powerful cutter. After cutting the steel rebar to the correct length, another belt will move the rebar away from the cutter and then tip it into a rack. Once the right number of pieces are in the rack, they can be taken away with a forklift and readied for delivery to our jobsite.

This year we used 100s of tons of very large diameter rebar on detention pond projects and on a 28’-0” tall house foundation. The rebar sizes ranged from #8 (1” dia.) to #11 (1 3/8” dia.).

Those sizes of rebar are difficult and time-consuming to cut. This new sheer line will allow us to cut all of our rebar much faster and reduce manpower.

Other concrete contractors have to hire a rebar fabrication company to cut, bend and deliver rebar to their jobsites. We get our rebar directly from steel mills. It is delivered to our office where we cut and bend the rebar before bringing it to the jobsite. We also create our own shop drawings for the rebar placement.

By cutting out the rebar fabrication company, we reduce costs to our customers. It also allows us to start projects sooner because there isn’t the typical lead time required by the rebar company.
