New Solutions for panels and tailored mesh!
Due to an increasing amount of requests concerning tailored mesh panels or bespoke mesh manufacturing in recent years, SKEW has been working on improved solutions for manual mesh welding lately.
Oftentimes the manual assembly of panels is actually faster and more cost effective than working with tailored, machine-manufactured mesh with later added rebar. We also see a reduction in the material used and a smaller manufacturing or stocking area when manufacturing manually.
By looking at shapes of reinforcement in more detail, loose bars regularly seem to give more options to optimize reinforcement.
These customer requests have now led to a larger digital library of Customizable Assembly Setups. A few examples of these can be found here. Based on typical reinforcement configurations, SKEW can quickly generate offers and part lists for your purposes.
These Setups are again easily customized to suit your specific needs, resulting in a high flexibility when working on the System.
Due to the summer holidays our company is closed from August 1st until August 16th.
During this period we will not be able to process your calls or emails.
Emails will be answered upon our return the 17th of August.
SKEW wishes you a wonderful summer holiday!
Jiggelo Retaining Wall Solutions
The system is quickly adjusted for varying dimensions and configurations.
Typically the Jiggelo Beam Setup or the Jiggelo Floor Setup are used for these type of elements.
In 2019 SKEW will be attending at least two major exhibitions.
The first is the Bauma exhibition in Munich, Germany. We welcome you on our stand C3.125 in Hall C3. The Bauma exhibition will be held from 08-04-2019 to 14-04-2019.

On Both occasions our Jiggelo - Reinforcement Assembly System will be presented together will or latest developments and applications.
Jiggelo System for Knife River Corporation, Oregon United States proven successful! Last year the Jiggelo System has been redeveloped for the United States. Each component has been translated from millimeters to inches, making the Jiggelo System compatible with U.S. standards. The Reinforcement Assembly System has currently been implemented by a number of U.S. companies.
One of the first Imperial Jiggelo Setups is currently in use by Knife River Prestress. Knive River (Harrisburg, Oregon) offers a wide variety of #precast and #prestressed #concrete products. Knife river is currently using a 60 feet (18+ meters) long Jiggelo Bench Model. This turns out the longest Jiggelo Bench being used worldwide!
Mr. Loren Later, Vice president of Knife River, mentioned the Jiggelo System has increased their manufacturing speed and production quality. Mr. Later stated the company experienced a significant #labor savings as well. SKEW is delighted to be a part of the reinforcement manufacturing process of Knife River!
SKEW offers a handy welding arm to improve your cage welding area! This convenient telescopic welding arm can cover a large working area. Welding with the Welding Arm will be easier and faster.
The Welding Arm is a good addition to an ergonomic work environment.

Beginning 2018 SKEW will be attending two Precast exhibitions. The first is the in Olso during the yearly convention of the Concrete association for Norway.
We are excited to announce that the Jiggelo – Reinforcement Assembly System is ready for the US.
SKEW is the worldwide market leader in providing solutions for the manual assembly of reinforcement.

Do it yourself!
By taking the prefabrication of reinforcement into their own hands, Precast Plants and Contractors can quickly and effectively improve their overall manufacturing process. At the same time controlling the quality of the reinforcement and reducing the dependency on reinforcement element suppliers.
Quality Assurance and Control
When an order of reinforcement elements finally comes in and turns out to be substandard due to small flaws or inconsistencies or even larger deviations, the choices are to return, repair or completely redo the elements. None of these options are convenient for a busy company.
Short lead times are essential for the efficient operating of your business. With tight deadlines and not much room for error the last thing you want to be concerned with is meeting deadlines for delivery times on your project, the relationship with your supplier or unexpected additional costs. The adoption of your company’s standard by subcontractors is often preceded by a period of trial and error that comes at your expense.
When choosing to keep Quality Management and Quality Control in-house you gain the chance to further develop. Short lines of communication and frequent feedback within your organization will help you create a Continuous Improvement Cycle.
Planning and flexibility
Dependency on suppliers means relying on their adequate planning. Staying on top of your project when dealing with third parties, especially under the pressure of time, can be an enormous challenge. Working ahead not an option as reinforcement is often supplied in individual batches as and when they are completed.
Those Precast Plants and Contractors that manufacture themselves experience great freedom in planning and production flow: A controlled just-in-time delivery for the client and no more having to wait for a suppliers’ truck that is stuck in traffic. They get the benefits of being able to work ahead, spread the workload and easily meet their deadlines.
Cost savings
Having to pay for transport, commission, tooling and depreciation expenses of your supplier occasionally leads to an expensive total cost for pre-assembled reinforcement.
Standardizing your production process for your particular element portfolio can make you more efficient than your supplier. You can optimize the assembly procedure to your requirements.
Where to start?
Ask yourself if the risks and the benefits of outsourcing are in balance. What are the benefits
in relation to the advantages of manufacturing reinforcement yourself?
When starting, it is recommended to start with the production of a rather standard element. One welder or steel fixer can assemble a specific product(group) in a designated area. If you don’t have a cutting and bending capacity, this still can be outsourced. The in-house assembly of additional elements can be added over time. If the volume allows, the cutting and bending can also be considered to be done yourself, further increasing your dependency.
SKEW has developed an improved grip system for the manual assembly of Pile Cages.
This upgrade allows more convenient and faster positioning of individual rebar rings. And of course rings can be placed at an exact spacing, in a perfect straight line.
Pictures taken at HYMMCO in Saginaw Michigan
Technical Specifications:
The Pile Cage Bench Setup is suitable for fabricating Pile Cages in the diameter range from 30cm to 1.2m. (1' to 4')
Rings can have a reinforcement diameter 8-20mm.
SKEW Jigs can be adjusted in height for an ergonomic work practice.
Example:
Left: a 70cm working height for a ∅60cm Pile Cage
Right: a 45cm working height for a ∅120cm Pile Cage
Every once in a while SKEW reflects on its achievements over the last few months. This time a few new clients stand out:
SKEW looks back on a highly rewarding collaboration with Aarsleff, consisting of the installation of 5 bespoke Jig-Systems to further streamline their reinforcement assembly.
SKEW was also duly impressed by new client Stabo Staal from Belgium, who have set up a Steel Shop within only a few months. They have now already expanded their prefabricated cage welding facility to increase their assembly capacity.
We are also privileged to be working with companies from countries all over the world, recently including businesses from exotic places such as: MRC from Mauritius and Synergy from Anguilla.
