In the field of reinforced concrete engineering, rebar detailing is a critical step that translates design intent into executable information. But not all detailing services are the same. At Deltana Engineering, we’ve built our differentiation strategy around one key objective: adding real, project-level value.

We achieve this by integrating design, fabrication, and construction execution into a unified approach we call C.O.R.E. Detailing™ —
Constructability-Oriented Rebar Engineering.

This methodology goes far beyond traditional practices to deliver strategic solutions that reduce waste, improve site productivity, and minimize execution risks. C.O.R.E. Detailing™ is not simply drawing rebar — it is engineering with deep awareness of how steel is cut, bent, transported, placed, and concreted.

Most engineering firms separate the process into two main stages:

• Structural rebar design, which defines sections, reinforcement ratios, and basic geometry.

• Rebar detailing, which translates that design into drawings and bar schedules with bends, hooks, splices, anchorages, and fabrication information.

Deltana Engineering goes one step further. Our C.O.R.E. Detailing™ is not just about completing the design — it’s about optimizing it for real-world execution. Every bar is considered from the perspective of someone on-site, handling it in real conditions, with real constraints.

Our teams don’t just master software like Tekla Structures, they also work within key international standards such as:

• ACI 318 (Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete – USA)

• EN 1992-1-1 / Eurocode 2 (Design of concrete structures – Europe)

• BS 8666:2020 (Scheduling, dimensioning, bending and cutting of steel reinforcement – UK)

We bring deep insight into the realities of site execution and industrial rebar processing:

• We minimize waste while understanding when reducing material may increase labor or fabrication costs.

• We evaluate lap lengths, anchorage, and splice conditions based on bar type, congestion, and structural demands.

• We ensure bend radii, hook types, and cut lengths comply with industry tolerances and fabrication equipment.

• We anticipate pour sequences and reinforcement continuity, ensuring that detailing supports real progress on-site.

• We make decisions through a lens of value engineering, balancing steel weight, production time, and placement efficiency.

What sets C.O.R.E. Detailing™ apart is that we don’t just think like designers — we think like builders. Our specialists have experience alongside rebar installers, formwork teams, and field engineers. This means we understand the cost of a misaligned bar, the challenge of congested zones, and the sequencing of reinforcement across structural phases.

In complex structures, we also provide clash reports, 3D validation models, and prefabrication-ready shop drawings to minimize field errors and improve productivity.

Constructability-Oriented Rebar Engineering is more than a technical approach — it’s a philosophy. At Deltana, we turn detailing into a strategic function that aligns with project goals in terms of cost, time, and execution certainty.

From the early detailing stages to final placement in formwork, we ensure that rebar contributes not just structurally, but operationally — supporting sequencing, minimizing labor effort, and aligning with just-in-time fabrication.

This is engineering for execution. This is C.O.R.E. Detailing™ — the way Deltana adds value where it matters most.
