Summary
Construction worker who assembles rebar used in buildings and other structures on-site and performs rebar placement and binding work.
Description
Building Construction Rebar Assemblers process and assemble rebar, which is a primary structural component of buildings, on-site, and handle rebar placement work before concrete pouring. They cut and bend rebar according to construction drawings, accurately position it at specified locations, bind and temporarily fix it to ensure structural strength and safety. They often work at heights or in confined spaces, requiring coordination with cranes and construction machinery, and adjustment of work with teams. They thoroughly implement safety measures using safety harnesses and protective gear, and also consider improving work efficiency and quality control.
Future Outlook
Redevelopment in urban areas and renovation of aging buildings are on the rise, leading to a serious labor shortage. Introduction of digital technologies such as BIM/CIM and prefabrication for productivity improvement are advancing, requiring rebar workers to have digital skills and advanced construction management abilities.
