A steel fixer may perform the following
tasks:
• read and interpret working plans and
steel lists for the job
• set out the work from these instructions
• make steel bars or mesh the required
length by cutting them with bolt cutters,
guillotines and power saws
• assemble the reinforcing bars or mesh
by welding, wiring or clipping into
predetermined locations within the
concrete
• fabricate steel reinforcement as beams,
footing pads or special units
• join the prefabricated units together for
large sections of high rise or civil
projects, and position the reinforcement ready for concrete pours.
