Reinforcing Mesh

Electro Resistance Welding – Pressure and heat fuse the intersecting wires into a homogeneous grid and fix all wires in their proper position.
The wires are usually deformed bar/rib wires or plain round wires.

WWR can lead to simplified reinforcement drawings, which are cheaper to produce, simpler to check and less likely to be misinterpreted on site. It also results in a more uniform work load for fixing crews and less congestion at the workface, allowing better access and shorter fixing times.

WWR can be detailed as either flat or bent sheets, depending on particular project requirements. They are suitable for flat slabs, raft foundations, pile caps, retaining walls, shear walls, and beams and columns, most applications where loose bar reinforcement is suitable.
