  • Cut, bend, and shape rebar to required lengths and configurations using manual or mechanical benders and cutters.
  • Assemble rebar cages, mats, or chairs to maintain proper concrete cover and alignment.
  • Place and secure rebar in forms using wire ties or mechanical fasteners, ensuring correct spacing and alignment.
  • Inspect rebar installations for compliance with engineering drawings, building codes, and safety standards before pouring.
