List of Approved Steel Reinforcing Bar Prefabrication Yards

The use of prefabricated steel reinforcing bar (rebar) products (e.g. cut and bent rebars, reinforcement cages and threaded/coupled rebars) produced in a highly automated off-site rebar prefabrication yard has been widely practiced in the construction industry overseas. This mode of rebar processing in a factory-like setting helps to enhance productivity, uplift built quality, improve construction safety and promote environmental performance. To assure the quality of the prefabricated rebar products produced in the off-site rebar prefabrication yards for use in Government projects, the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is responsible for administering the "List of Approved Steel Reinforcing Bar Prefabrication Yards" (the List) according to Development Bureau Technical Circular (Works) No. 10/2018 "Quality Assurance for Use of Off-site Prefabricated Steel Reinforcing Bar Products", which includes assessment and approval of applications for admission to the List, together with management of the List and regulating the performance of the yards on the List.
