Concrete Reinforcement & Metal Work in Weatherford, TX

We work with all ASTM A615 grades including Grade 40, Grade 60, and Grade 75 rebar. Grade 60 is most common for commercial construction in Weatherford. We select grades based on structural requirements, seismic considerations, and engineering specifications. All rebar meets ASTM standards and includes proper identification markings.

Proper placement is critical for structural integrity. We use manufactured chairs, spacers, and supports to maintain minimum cover requirements (typically 1.5-3 inches depending on exposure). We verify placement with measurement tools and provide inspection documentation. ACI 318 requires specific cover for durability and fire protection.

Yes, we provide complete post-tensioning services for slabs, beams, and specialty applications. Our certified technicians handle stressing, grouting, and system testing. Post-tensioning allows for longer spans, reduced cracking, and improved performance compared to conventional reinforcement. We work with engineered post-tensioning designs for optimal results.

Parker County falls in seismic Zone 1 with specific reinforcement requirements. We provide proper confinement reinforcement for columns, beam-column joints, and foundation elements. This includes hoops, ties, and transverse reinforcement at required spacing. All seismic detailing follows IBC and ACI 318 requirements for earthquake resistance.

We use approved splicing methods including lap splices, mechanical couplers, and welded connections per ACI standards. Lap splice lengths vary by rebar size and concrete strength (typically 12-40 bar diameters). We ensure proper overlap and tie wire for secure connections. Mechanical couplers provide faster construction and reliable performance.

We maintain detailed quality control including rebar size verification, placement inspection, cover measurement, and splice documentation. We provide mill certificates for all rebar and maintain inspection logs. Our work is subject to special inspection requirements for commercial projects, and we coordinate with testing agencies for compliance verification.

Yes, we work with specialty reinforcement systems including FRP (fiber reinforced polymer) rebar for corrosion resistance applications. FRP is ideal for harsh environments like chemical plants or marine exposure. We also work with stainless steel reinforcement and galvanized systems for corrosion protection. Selection depends on environmental conditions and structural requirements.

Large projects require detailed planning and sequencing. We provide shop drawings for complex reinforcement layouts, coordinate with multiple crews for efficient placement, and use prefabrication for repetitive elements. Our project managers ensure proper material staging and maintain quality control throughout large-scale commercial projects.
