TEMPORARY CONDITION OF REINFORCEMENT CAGES PRIOR TO CONCRETING: PART 2 (TECHNICAL GUIDANCE)

Prior to being encased in concrete a reinforcement cage should be considered as an item of temporary works. This guide (‘Part 2’) has been produced to supplement  ‘Part 1’(Ref. Wf2020: 03) by providing further detailed engineering explanation of the issues involved. It also provides design guidance for cages assembled in their final position on site and those pre-fabricated and requiring lifting, transporting and positioning in their final position.
