Reinforcement of columns
We are engaged in comprehensive reinforcement of concrete columns, both rectangular and circular. Precise execution of the reinforcement ensures the stability of the structure and the longevity of the columns.
Based on the documentation, appropriate steel bars are selected. The most common are bars with a diameter of 12 to 25 mm as the main reinforcement, and thinner bars (6-10 mm) as stirrups, which weld the entire structure. Before installing the reinforcement, the place where the concrete is poured and the formwork itself must be thoroughly cleaned and protected against concrete adhesion (e.g., using release agents).
How does the process of reinforcing the columns work ?
1.
Preparation of the reinforcement design
The first step is to analyze the design of the structure, which details the type and size of reinforcement, the diameters of bars and the placement of reinforcement in the columns. The design also includes information on the requirements for concrete cover, which is the minimum thickness of concrete surrounding the steel. Most commonly, bars with a diameter of 12 to 25 mm are used as the main reinforcement, and thinner bars (6-10 mm) are used as stirrups, which bind the entire structure together.
2.
Workplace preparation
Before placing the reinforcement, a formwork should be prepared as a form for the column and to protect the concrete from flowing out. Column formwork is usually rectangular or circular and can be made of wood, plywood or steel forms (e.g. Doka, Peri systems). The place where the concrete is poured and the formwork itself must be thoroughly cleaned and protected against concrete adhesion (e.g., using release agents).
3.
Laying of main bars
They are distributed along the entire height of the column, parallel to its axis, forming the skeleton of the structure. The number of vertical bars and their diameter depends on the requirements of the project, but as a standard they are distributed evenly around the perimeter of the column. They often extend beyond the length of the formwork to connect to further structural elements, such as foundations or subsequent floors.
4.
Installation of transverse reinforcement
Once the vertical bars are fixed, stirrups, which are smaller diameter cross bars that surround the vertical bars to form a reinforcing cage, are installed. Stirrups are placed at regular intervals (usually every 20-30 cm) along the entire height of the column. The stirrups prevent buckling of the vertical bars and protect the column from damage caused by lateral forces.
5.
Joining steel bars
The vertical bars and stirrups are connected by tie wire, which binds the entire structure together. The connections must be solid so that the reinforcement does not move when the concrete is poured. It is crucial that the entire reinforcement cage is stable and maintains its form when the concrete is poured. Therefore, all connections must be carefully checked.

Professional installation of formwork ensures precise execution of concrete structures. Thanks to the professional approach of Optimum Bau’s installation team, the formwork is perfectly matched, which translates into durability and stability of the entire structure. This also minimizes the risk of errors that can lead to costly repairs.
Optimum Bau uses the renowned PERI and DOKA formwork systems, which are known for their high quality, flexibility and durability. These systems allow fast and safe installation of formwork, which speeds up the construction process and ensures optimal results.
Both formwork systems are high-end, but differ somewhat in design and purpose. PERI is more versatile and flexible in the context of complex projects, while DOKA is characterized by simplicity and speed of installation. The choice of system depends on the specific requirements of the project, and our specialists will help you choose the best solution.
Floor restoration and polishing involves refreshing deteriorated concrete surfaces and giving them a new, aesthetically pleasing appearance. Polishing makes floors smooth, shiny and more resistant to wear and tear. This service is ideal for industrial, commercial and domestic surfaces.
Polished concrete floors are extremely durable, scratch-resistant and easy to clean. Their aesthetic appearance makes them perfect for modern interiors. In addition, thanks to polishing, concrete gains anti-slip properties and better resistance to moisture.
Optimum Bau specializes in complex concreting of structural elements such as stairs, terraces, columns, walls and floors. Our experience and precision ensure high quality workmanship, regardless of the complexity of the project.
Yes, foundation concreting is a key service in our offer. Our team specializes in the implementation of solid and durable foundations, which are the basis for stable buildings. We use modern technologies and high-quality materials to ensure the durability and safety of foundations.
The process of concreting foundations consists of several key steps: site preparation, placement of reinforcement, installation of formwork, pouring of concrete, and protection and care of the foundation after it is poured. Optimum Bau takes care of each of these steps, ensuring precision and high quality workmanship.
Reinforcement is the placement of steel bars in the structure, which reinforce the concrete, increasing its resistance to loads and stresses. Reinforcement of beams, stringers, columns and walls is a key element, ensuring the durability and safety of the entire structure.
