Construction, already suffering from a labor shortage, is getting hammered by staffing issues brought on by the highly contagious COVID-19 variant. Nearly 8.8 million construction workers have been sick since December.
Rebar “spools” may seem like the “hot new thing,” but rebar coils have been a go-to material for fabricators for many years. And recently, ISA sent a survey to over 430 independent rebar fabricators across the U.S. and Canada to ask their opinions about rebar coils versus spools.
Survey responses received: 55, or 12.5% response rate (that’s high for surveys!).
Scroll through the charts below to get a snapshot of what the fabricators said about their perceptions and experience with rebar coils and spools.
