Providing reinforcing steel to a site that is fit for purpose can be more complex than it appears. All reinforcing steels need to meet various Australian Standards in terms of their mechanical properties and the tolerances they are cut and bent to. InfraBuild Reinforcing offers ACRS certification, which is your guarantee that what we supply to your project meets all relevant Australian Standards and is fit for purpose. This applies to galvanizing of any reinforcing materials as they are also subject to Australian Standards.

All rebar (reinforcing bar) cut and bent by InfraBuild Reinforcing is processed to the appropriate tolerances as per AS/NZS 4671 and/or AS 3600. All reinforcing mesh and reinforcing wire supplied by InfraBuild Reinforcing is manufactured to AS/NZS 4671.

Tolerances tighter than that specified in AS 3600 are possible and may incur additional charges. Contact us if you need to discuss this for any of your projects.

InfraBuild Reinforcing also partners with some of Australia’s most reputable galvanizers to ensure we can provide a high-quality service that meets AS/NZS 4534.

To discuss any of these options further please contact your nearest branch.

Overview

Developed by InfraBuild Steel Centre, DuraGal Flooring System is a steel subfloor system utilising DuraGal® tubular sections and fully galvanized fittings.

DuraGal Flooring System is assembled on site and requires no welding. Simple screwed connections make construction fast and easy. DuraGal Flooring System meets the industry durability guideline by including fully-galvanized Australian-manufactured tubular sections which are corrosion resistant and won’t rot, warp or twist.

The strength of steel allows for greater spans and reduces the impact of site works and sediment control issues.

Easy to install

DuraGal Flooring System uses high strength C450L0 grade galvanized DuraGal ZB 135/135 hollow sections. The sections are strong and lightweight making them easy to handle on site.

User friendly

Requires only normal trade and electrical tools, no welding is involved. Fast and accurate leveling of the floor during or after construction is a great feature, and compensates for variations in the footings, now or later.

Committed to quality

InfraBuild Steel Centre’s commitment to quality means you can depend on DuraGal® products to deliver reliable and consistent quality to site. DuraGal® products are Hot Dip Galvanized to Section 3, AS/NZS 4792 ZB 135/135 with a minimum average zinc coating of 135g/m2 on both the internal and external surfaces.

Estimating

Calculating the amount of concrete reinforcing steel in a project can often be a time consuming and complex task if you are unfamiliar with the process. InfraBuild Reinforcing can provide an estimating service, in order to provide greater certainty when you are pricing steel reinforcement projects. InfraBuild Reinforcing can provide estimated tonnages for rebar (reinforcing bar), number of sheets of reinforcing mesh and all the associated accessories that go with them. When you couple this with lump sum pricing, understanding your cost for reinforcing steel becomes far less complicated. This service is all part of what makes working with InfraBuild Reinforcing a comprehensive and reassuring process.

Detailing

Accurate and timely detailing of steel reinforcing is crucial in keeping a project running smoothly. InfraBuild Reinforcing has some of the most skilled and experienced schedulers in Australia. With a national footprint and detailers located at most of our branches, you can be sure your next steel reinforcing project is in safe hands. InfraBuild Reinforcing provides detailing of reinforcing steel as part of our supply package, so you can be confident you will have some of the most experienced detailers in the country to assist you.

Project management

Keeping projects on time and on budget is a constant challenge for any building project. What separates InfraBuild Reinforcing from other steel reinforcing suppliers is our ability to provide experienced reinforcing project managers to large and complex civil, commercial and residential projects. Most of our project managers have either an engineering background or extensive industry experience (and in most cases, both), which ensures they can provide unparalleled advice when it comes to solving challenging issues.

To discuss what advice InfraBuild Reinforcing can provide you for all your steel reinforcement needs please contact your nearest bar shop.

InfraBuild Reinforcing has a long record of innovation in improving logistics and on-site deliveries. Being the first reinforcing business to introduce Hiabs across our fleets, introducing SWL-rated fitment bins or initiating safety initiatives to ensure loads are lifted safely, you can rely on InfraBuild Reinforcing to strive to improve our logistics and delivery management.

All products that leave our sites are clearly tagged to ensure you can readily identify what products are being delivered and where they will be placed. All reinforcing bars are bundled in a way that minimises the amount of handling on site.

Logistics management

InfraBuild Reinforcing looks at details such as how prefab elements need to be lifted and handled, have lifting points been certified, whether loads need to be pre-slung before they leave the yard and, if so, where? InfraBuild Reinforcing’s varied truck fleet ensures we deliver products on a truck that best suits the limitations of your site access. A number of our larger bar processing sites also load directly on to SWL-rated ‘containers’ that can be loaded so as to minimise lifts off the truck, thus allowing you to maximise the use of your cranes and speed up unloading.

Delivery and bundling

With facilities around Australia and an advanced fleet, we can deliver directly to you on most occasions. If we are not in your area, we will usually have supply partners who can deliver to your reinforcing requirements.

Different lengths and shapes of rebar (reinforcing bars) can often be confusing when they are delivered to site. We ensure that schedules with all the bar markings, along with clear marking plans accompany our processed bar deliveries to ensure you can easily identify and fix the steel we deliver to you.

InfraBuild Reinforcing’s customers call on us to solve their problems. Our team takes no chances on safety and we ensure our onsite and product handling safety procedures align with yours to eliminate confusion and minimise risk.

Looking for more certainty to manage your project budget? We can provide lump sum pricing or square metre rates in order that you have greater certainty and peace of mind when your project commences. Perhaps you would like the headache of managing the reinforcing delivery and installation, contracted to another party? InfraBuild Reinforcing can also provide you with a lump sum supplied and installed price – ensuring that the price you get from us is fixed (subject to variations), which means no nasty budget overruns for you.

Lump sum pricing

Reinforcing steel costing is notoriously difficult to get right, which can often lead to cost blow outs for this component of your build. InfraBuild Reinforcing has a number of skilled estimators who have the expertise to calculate in detail the quantity of reinforcing you require, including associated accessories.  All we will require are adequately detailed engineering and architectural drawings.
