Stainless UK Supply Over 1,000 Ribbed Bars For Tees Weir Project

Stainless UK has supplied over 1,000 stainless steel ribbed bars to contractor VolkerStevin for use in a weir rebuilding project on the River Tees at Barnard Castle in County Durham.

The 12mm diameter bars were supplied cut to length and set into the concrete at every joint to form a dowel that ties the individual concrete slabs together.

Grade 304 stainless steel was selected to prevent any future corrosion at the joints and so ensure the long term stability of the weir.

Barnard Castle is a historic market town dating back to Norman times. Dominated by it's 12th century castle, the town is situated on the north bank of the River Tees. The Tees is one of the country's fastest flowing rivers and the 60m wide weir at Barnard Castle is being rebuilt to provide flood warnings downstream and to monitor river levels for abstraction licences upstream.

"For the past 20 years we have been supplying stainless steel ribbed bar for projects similar to this that require long term durability. Stainless steel is a proven material to prevent costly corrosion in concrete," commented Tim Wells managing director, Stainless UK.

Work on the weir is due for completion in spring 2014.
