ARC has the technical expertise, production capacity and national footprint to supply any job across Australia, large or small, from the simplest to the most complex.

ARC can offer:

  • A full range of bar processing services – cutting, bending and threading
  • Some of the industry's most experienced schedulers
  • In-house fabrication and design expertise
  • Production to precast tolerances.

If your next project is working towards achieving an environmental rating such as Green Star, ARC can help you with this too. In addition, ARC uses a high proportion of recycled steel in manufacturing all our reinforcing products. Visit the section on sustainability for more details.

Swimming Pool Reinforcing Bar

Specially formulated reinforcing bar for use in domestic concrete swimming pools to meet  AS 2783.

Designed to be easily cut and bent into shape on site to speed up construction times and allow complete freedom of design.

Bars are 12mm diameter, grade D250N to meet AS/NZS 4671 and are available in 6 or 9m stock lengths.

Reinforcing Bar
Round Reinforcing Bar

Round reinforcing bar, grade R250N to meet the requirements of AS/NZS 4671. Commonly used to manufacture ligatures and dowel bars.

Reinforcing Bar
Starter Bars

These processed bars are normally used to tie reinforced masonry or concrete walls to slabs or footings, as designed by the engineer. Cut and bent to shape from standard deformed reinforcing bar, grade D500N. Common shapes are listed but others can be made to order. Meet the requirements of AS/NZS 4671.

Reinforcing Bar
Corner Bars

These bars are used to tie together two elements of a structure that are at right angles to each other, such as walls, slabs or beams, as designed by the engineer. Cut and bent to shape from standard deformed reinforcing bar, grade D500N. Common shapes are listed but others can be made to order. Meet the requirements of AS/NZS 4671.

Reinforcing Bar
Ligatures

A full range of ligatures (fitments) manufactured from round reinforcing bar, grade R250N, to suit all requirements. Commonly used to separate top and bottom layers of Trench Mesh in residential slabs or for fabricating beam or column cages. Common square and rectangular shapes in 6mm and 10mm bar are listed below. Other shapes and sizes can be manufactured to order. All ligatures meet AS/NZS 4671.
