General Notes:

Reinforcing Steel: (For Concrete and Masonry)

1. Welded Reinforcement Grids (WRG) manufactured in conformance with evaluation report ER-5192 issued August 1, 2000 by the National ICBO Evaluation Service, Inc. may be substituted for conventional reinforcement in concrete and masonry.

Tight dimensional accuracy of BauGrid Welded Reinforcement Grids (WRG) eliminates corkscrewing, reduces congestion, allows for easier placement of cages, concrete and forms.

One contractor reported cage assembly took half the time, with half the crew, a 75% savings in cage assembly labor!!
On the 42-story St. Regis Museum project in San Francisco, one BauGrid Welded Reinforcement Grid replaced 32 hoops and cross ties, and construction time was reduced from one floor every seven days to one floor every 4 days.

UCSD Tests Prove Structures (Reinforced with BauGrid WRG) Can Be Seismically Sound With Less Steel Than Called for by Current California Code - View CBS coverage of testing in Real Player University of California, San Diego (UCSD) structural engineers have announced that a violent simulated reproduction of the Northridge earthquake shook a seven-story structure at the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering's Englekirk Structural Engineering Center, resulting in only minor cosmetic damage to the building. For more on this story, visit constructiontechnologytoday.com

All of these improvements are achieved while improving the seismic performance of the structure. Click here for more info.
