reodata 4.0 - OneSteel Reinforcing

500PlUs ® BamtEc ®
Reinforcing carpets
500PLUS ® BAMTEC ® is the world’s fastest steel fixing system.
It involves prefabricating reinforcing steel “carpets” to a wide range
of shapes and sizes.
Individual reinforcing bars are welded to flexible steel straps and the
resultant “carpet” is rolled up for transport and handling.
The carpets can contain hundreds of bars which may be of different
length and diameter, with variable spacings and accommodate
complex shapes and penetrations.
When needed on site, the carpet is simply lifted into place and
unrolled onto continuous bar chairs.
