Steels should be stored in such a way, so as to avoid distortion and to prevent deterioration and corrosion. Steels of different classes should be stored separately. Follow the guidelines given below while storing steel on site.
Storing of Steel Reinforcement
- Store bars of different classes, sizes and lengths separately to facilitate issues in such sizes and lengths so as to minimize wastage in cutting from standard lengths.
- Paint the ends of bars of each class in distinct separate colors.
- Coat steel reinforcement with cement wash before stacking to prevent scaling and rusting.
- If reinforcement bars have to be stored for a long period, then stack it above ground level by at least 150 mm.
Storing of Structural Steel
- Assign separate areas for storing structural steel of different classes, sizes and lengths.
- Store it above ground level by at least 150 mm upon platforms, skids or any other suitable supports to avoid distortion of sections.
- In coastal areas or in case of long storage, apply protective coating of primer to prevent scaling and rusting
