• Ironworker (Reinforcing)

Ironworkers (Reinforcing) cut, bend, lay out, place and weld reinforcing steel rods, weld wire fabric and composite materials in a wide variety of structures such as buildings, highways, bridges, stadiums and towers. They also place and stress various post-tensioning systems in structures such as parking garages, bridges and stadiums where longer unsupported spans are required. After placing post-tensioning systems, they stress the tendons to predetermined specifications using hydraulic jacks and pumps. These types of Ironworkers unload fabricated or bar materials and place the material for hoisting as needed. While the reinforcing material is usually pre-cut and fabricated off-site, workers can be involved in cutting and bending material according to design specifications and drawings.

Ironworker (Reinforcing) is a nationally designated trade under the Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program.
