A receiving check should connect the delivered FRP rebar to the purchase order before bundles move into storage. Verify the product label, nominal diameter, cut length, quantity, color or batch mark, and packing condition. Separate any bundle with missing identification or visible transport damage so it is not issued to the placement crew by mistake.
Inspect representative bars under good light. Look for crushed ribs, deep cuts, split ends, resin damage, heavy dirt, or deformation that could affect handling or concrete contact. Record the bundle number and photograph unusual conditions. Acceptance decisions should follow the project specification; do not repair or release questionable material without authorization.
Choose a level storage area with supports spaced closely enough to prevent long bars from sagging. Keep bundles away from sharp steel, vehicle routes, standing water, and uncontrolled heat. Retain labels after opening a bundle, and return unused bars to the correct group rather than mixing diameters or placement zones.
Before installation, compare the issued bundle with the latest drawing and bar schedule. Confirm the planned spacing, cover, lap arrangement, cutting method, and tie locations with the site team. A short receiving record-date, supplier, bundle ID, quantity, condition, and disposition-creates traceability from delivery through placement and helps resolve shortages before the concrete pour.
