Ok, great sir. That means they understood the importance of proper hydration and curing on the integrity of the concrete.

Boss thanks for the other day

Its not used for decking because it's not the right reinforcement for decking concrete works. Check your structural design for reinforcement details.

It might look beautiful in the eye but doesn't poses the structural integrity to carry the load that it's meant to carry.
I am not a building engineer but I have to disagree with you on this,....that reinforcement rods and pattern are widely used all over Europe till date for decking, foundations and load bearing floors. 5 building on my street that went up recently were the same pattern. I will speak to one of the structural engineer one day, I want to know the advantages behind the double iron rod mat layer.

This will mostly not be recommended because we can't satisfy the welding requirements which is used to connect d bars together if it can transfer the stresses received

The general arrangements of the panel may not conforms with this template and may not satisfy anchorage , lap length from one members to the order..

Don't know if this is easy to move between floors because still is heavy during construction

The bar spacing requirements also will be an issue

This maybe suitable in composite construction of slab though , To reduce crack on a lightly loaded pedestrian crowd walkway
The welding are mostly factory done with computer assisted and precision, they also personally do the welding on site with a special spacing tools that give precise results.
I noticed it commonly used in foundations, decking, load bearing floors, light roads(on heavy load roads they uses bigger sizes) and concrete roof.

This is nice I will research more extensively on it pls provide d company name or product name.

When welding is done it may reduces the strength of steel when not properly done reason we don't advise such but on some of the project have work on we usually template on ur rebar for it. Not to move out of position

Does anyone have any experience with solar water heaters, with the recently increased electricity tariff, bills would begin to skyrocket and we know most of the energy is consumed by electric water heaters in our kitchens and bathrooms. Alternative suggestions are welcomed. cheesy

I opted for traditional water heater based on how I live. The currently available solar water heater are not pleasing to my eyes.

Good luck on your choice.

It’s normally used for load-bearing floors and roof slabs (I know HFP use this for their roofs)

Staslhandel Van Zijl NV, Rotterdam.
Metalhandel Christiaens, Eeklo, Belgium.
MetaalGaller also in Belgium to name a few.

They are big metal warehouse/factories where you can order base on your requirements, it will be produced and delivered to your site. They also produce for known brands.
If you need reinforcement rebar all they need is the measurements, specifications or project drawing.
I have been in these warehouse, the choices are too enormous, there you realise how advanced human technology has gone.

The process of fabricating these shapes are not really complex, with the right tools you can do a great job on site or in your personal workshop.

Yes, exactly....you find them in different sizes depending on the recommendation for the job....the advantages it's save whole lot of time and the installation goes faster.
I think also cheaper.

And again, this technology could knock off a lot of iron/structural guys out of work.

Very bad welding (expensive too) and not the best practice. I actually used them for experimental purpose then (precast coping)

I knew I’ve met the guys supplying those mesh reinforcements here before but I can’t remember where.

If I’m able to lay my hand on this rebar tier, I’ll be just fine:

Hello Sir, you aren't chatting with a newbie my dear ! I am not all you're postulating under assumptions. Apply due diligence before dropping vague statements . What you seek is quite elementary and fully available at your disposal if you follow simple replies above ! As you incessantly type at length, we've prospects chatting & transacting ! This isn't the right avenue to avoid derailing this thread ...
Take few points as noted below if this is what you really seek :

Brands & country of origin :
Trojan ....... USA
Quanta .. India
Luminous ... India
Genus ... India
Multipower .... India
Felicity ... China
Mercury ..... China
Bluegate ... China

If you need to make more detailed enquiry or transactions , be cool & redirect positive efforts to my inbox OR simply call me as most do ... Below are USA trojan battery units been supplied to a western based Nairaland client as seen in pallets ... Cheer's

It took you about FIVE EVASIVE POSTS, to answer a simple question about where the batteries whose price you gave, came from! shocked
Even now, you have cleverly left out a connection between the price you quoted, and where those exact batteries you put a price for, came from?
YOU CERTAINLY QUALIFY TO BE CALLED THE MOST DECEPTIVE SELLER ON NAIRALAND and l am sure l am not the only one who had noticed that.
You claim it is elementary information yet you are so reluctant to attach origin of manufacture to those batteries you put aprice on, why is that so difficult, if not that you are nefarious in business dealings?
The simple truth is: Most people dont know abiut the difference between these batteries, as it relates to where they come from and as such, if you put 200K on a Chinese battery without letting the buyer know it is a Chinese battery (and should have cost no more than 120K), the buyer may think they are getting a made in Germany, for that 200K. That is selling by DECEPTION and that is exactly what you are doing.
I have taken time to observe your responses.
On this thread, one of the things we do is EXPOSE shady, deceptive, greedy and untrustworthy Contractors/Businessmen/Suppliers and PROMOTE the good ones.

Yes, l know you are not a newbie on other thread like FTA Solar but you are a newbie on this thread of Discuss anything and everything Building...
A decent Seller will be open with all relebeant information, not saying thi sis not the right avenue, discuss with me behind close doors, follow simple replies, contact me on Whatsapp, etc in about five replies, when all it takes is one reply to asnwer the question.

Thank you for letting us know the kind of EVASIVE seller that you are, l am sure anyone wanting to do business wih you will have to do it with a long spoon and BUYERS BEWARE.
By the way, l am not you dear, if that was meant to be a condescending tone.
Matter Closed.

There's an existing vaccine of the bold already in Nigeria but most of us are waiting for WHO vaccine. Covid-19 is just an extra illness that affects aged people having symptoms of other underlying diseases.

Really?

Please don't give wrong information like Trump, there is no approved vaccine yet for covid-19.

Folks are out there advancing technologically, we are still using mallam to dig borehole by hand.. people are still manually digging foundation for a housing project...
