Reinforcing Bar Cut and Bent to Your Schedule

Cutting and bending reinforcing bar on site takes time, labour and equipment that most crews would rather put into fixing. Hand-bent shapes can also vary, making it harder to match the dimensions on the drawings.

At East Coast Steel Supplies, we offer steel bar processing in Mackay, cutting and bending bar to the lengths and shapes your project requires. We produce ligatures, cogged bars and custom shapes for footings, beams, columns and slabs. Each bar arrives cut to length and bent to shape, ready for your fixers to place.

For the most accurate result, our steel scheduling service can prepare the bending schedule we work from. Call 0450 901 655 to discuss your processing order.

Benefits of Pre-Processed Reinforcement

Pre-processed bar changes how smoothly a job runs on site.

Less site labour: Bars arrive at the right length and shape, ready to fix. Your crew spends its time placing steel instead of cutting it.

Consistent shapes: Bending to a schedule produces repeatable angles and dimensions. That consistency helps cages and ligatures fit together as designed.

Less waste: Cutting from a schedule means you pay for the steel the job needs. We keep offcuts and leftover lengths to a minimum.

Safer sites: Fewer cutting and bending operations on site reduce the risk of injury. It also cuts down on noise and sparks around other trades.

FAQs

All services

A ligature, often called a lig or stirrup, is a bent bar that wraps around the main reinforcement in beams and columns. It holds the main bars in position and helps the element resist shear forces.

A cogged bar has a 90-degree bend at one or both ends, forming a short leg called a cog. Cogs anchor the bar into adjoining concrete where there isn't room for a straight lap length.

Off-site bending produces consistent shapes and saves the labour and equipment needed to bend bar by hand. It's especially useful on larger jobs with many repeated shapes, such as ligatures.
