Mokasco Express Rebar & Steel Industries applies the following Standard Operation Procedures to make sure the quality aspect of Reinforced Steel Bars.

Implementing Guidelines

Receiving the rebar from the Manufacturer
  • Upon the receipt of the rebar bundles form the manufacturer; our staff visually inspects them for straight alignment and proper tagging and ensures that the required manufacturer’s Delivery Notes and Mill Test Certificates are provided pertaining to the same received rebar bundles.
  • The rebar bundles will then be unloaded and stocked properly using power lift equipment in our stacking area keeping the bundles straight-aligned.
  • The stocked Reinforced Steel shall always be kept totally protected and covered by heavy-duty water proof tarpaulin covers.
  • No tag is allowed to be removed from any bundles in the storage area.
Fabrication of Rebar and Delivery

Mokasco Express emphasizes the quality and accuracy of cutting and bending operations as vital factors to the project progress and ensures proper fit on site and perfect matching to the required standards, thus following quality procedures are followed in the production process.

  • All fabrication activities are carried out according to BS8666: 2000 or to the specific project specification if exist. Lengths and shapes shall be as per the customer’s approved order and BSS.
  • Bars are cut to the required length using the very accurate automated shear lines. Cast numbers for opened bundles are immediately shifted to the cutting list for all cut bars.
  • Cut bars are bent using the automatic bending machines based on the length, shape and size
  • Fabricated bars shall be grouped, bundled and properly tagged.
  • Fabricated rebar bundles will eventually be loaded and delivered according to the customer’s schedule. They are placed on the trailer properly to ease the unloading process and to satisfy the secure transport and traffic regulations.
Traceability

Mokasco should make a tag every bundle of steel laid down in its yard and to be cross-referenced with the Qatar Steel/Al Qataria Steel original received tags. This process will ease the traceability of each single bar from which certificate has been used.

Loading and Transportation

The responsibilities of this department are to coordinate with the Production department and customers in respect to the delivery schedule submitted by the customers and organize the delivery of the processed steel to the site. Mokasco have their own trucks to be used for delivery and employs rented trucks when needed to make sure the delivery is on time.

Rebar Site Fixing Service

Our well experienced and trained steel fixing team is reliable, communicative and industrious. This team is united, cooperative and working harmoniously with Project Managers and others people on the project in order to keep the schedule intact.

The Straightening technology guarantees maximum flexibility and quality within specific requirements.

Schnell Prima 16+D System

Schnell Bar Wiser 28

1. Bartec®

Bartec®system is the best “pound for pound” mechanical splice on the market, with a guaranteed “bar-break” performance under full tensile load.
Bartec®offers the easiest way of connecting two bars that cannot be rotated thanks to its parallel thread that uses the same coupler for standard splices and position splices with a simple adjustment in the threading length on the reinforcing bar.

2. Griptec®

Griptec® system is the most accomplished mechanical splice on the market : its patented extrusion process includes a systematic, non-destructive tensile test that performs a 100 check on the bar end preparation.
Moreover, the extrusion machine automatically adjusts its processing parameters when switching from one bar size to another, thereby greatly improving the productivity and reducing the risk of human error.

3. Rolltec®

Rolltec® system is a type 2 rolled-thread splice requiring only one single machine and one operator for the bar-end preparation process.
Rolltec® offers the benefit of easily connecting two bars that cannot be rotated , by adjusting the threading length on the reinforcing bar and using the same coupler for standard splices and position splices.

4. Unitec®

Unitec® system is a universal on-site splicing system, that does not need any hydraulic power tool. A standard compressed air supply is sufficient to tighten the bolts and achieve the connection.
It is ideal in situations where there is no bar end preparation facility to thread the bars and where it would be too cumbersome to handle a mobile hydraulic press.

5. Repair grip™

Repair grip™ system is an on-site splicing method using a sleeve that is swaged onto the ribs of the reinforcing bar by means of a mobile hydraulic press.
It is ideal in situations where there is no bar end preparation facility to thread the bars.

6. End Anchors

End anchors are anchor plates that are fixed at the end of reinforcing bars by the same means as used for the mechanical splices.
They constitute a mechanical anchorage that is a convenient alternative to hooks in congested areas. They also save steel and, by avoiding the bending, they remove the risk of rebar embrittlement, especially on large diameters. They are available within Bartec®, Griptec® and Rolltec® splice range.

Software

Mokasco has implemented specialized Computer Software ARMAOR which has been developed by “ARIADIS” especially for cut and bend facilities. This Software is widely used by Rebar Companies in the Middle East Region. We also have CADS-RC Software for designing, drawing and automatic generation of Bar Bending Schedule which is further exported to ARMAOR.

Its main features include:

  • Bar Bending Schedules generated according to British or American Standards.
  • Optimized production, Off Cuts and Scrap Reduction.
  • Prepares Invoices and Delivery Note.
  • Make cutting tags and loading checklist for Production.
  • Report generation – Production, Stock, Cut & Bend, Flow Charts etc.

Our Engineering Department extensively applies the software for excellent results to serve our clients. All the Shop Drawings, Tags, Delivery Notes & Bar Bending Schedules have bar mark, shape codes, size, quantity and the details of the Projects.

The following procedures are outlined below:

  • The design drawing is translated to Shop Drawings.
  • Shop Drawings are translated to data.
  • The Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) is generated after Data is fed to the system.
  • The Shop Drawings & BBS are submitted to the customer for approval.
  • Production optimization should be done; lists and tags are printed out for production, after the approval of the customer.
  • Loading check list is printed out for production to load the processed steel.
  • Delivery Note is issued.
  • Invoices.
