I recently received some pretty interesting underwater photography ... of bending rebar! The photos were taken on a jobsite offshore in the Bahamas. The contractor was hired to refurbish a couple berths in the port. He wrote of the project, " We have to custom build cages which requires drilling, doweling and epoxy to make the structures. We have to bend the rebar in place to customize each cage, then build a form around it and pump concrete in."
Underwater bending was performed using EZE Bend equipment. Brad Rozema of EZE Bend explains, "Using radio communication to activate the hydraulics, the diver completes rebar bends underwater."
