SteelX Rebar
On-site dosing & QA service

Blown in at the truck. Every truck on record.

McClay doses SteelX into each truck on site with a fibre blower. It goes in at the specified kg/m³, in front of your crew, and every truck is recorded in QA McClay — the app our operators use on every pour. The on-site service is available across South East Queensland.

How we dose SteelX

Four steps, every truck

01
Confirm the dose
Specified kg/m³ and pour volume agreed before the day.
02
Check the truck
Docket and load volume checked as each truck arrives.
03
Blow it in
The fibre blower feeds SteelX into the drum in a steady stream.
04
Mix and record
The truck mixes it through; the dose is logged in QA McClay.

Why dose SteelX on site

01
Matched to each load
The dose is set by each truck's volume, not by counting bags.
02
Any supplier
The batch plant doesn't need to stock or handle SteelX.
03
On record
A per-truck record for your engineer, certifier and project file.
Quality assurance · QA McClay

“It was dosed correctly” becomes a record

A per-truck record you can produce at any time — to an engineer, a certifier, or a client years after handover.

If your plant is dosing it

Outside South East Queensland, or wherever SteelX is added at the batch plant rather than on site, this is the approved method. Print it for the loader, and record every truck on the batch register (page 2).

Download method & register
Never add the cement separately — on its own it can form balls of cement in the mix.
Completed registers — email to qa@steelxrebar.com.au. Start a new register each day, and for each client.
Free SteelX Dosage Stamp — available on request for stamping batch tickets.

01
SteelX into the agitator
Load the total volume of SteelX directly into the agitator of the truck. The boxes are not soluble — don't load them.
02
80–90% of the water
Add 80–90% of the mix water and let the SteelX mix in the water for at least 30 seconds — 60 seconds for dosages of 15 kg/m³ or more.
03
Everything else
Add aggregate, sand, cement, other ingredients and the remaining water — aggregate first where possible.
04
Record it
Note the SteelX dosage on each batch ticket and record every batch on the SteelX Batching Register.
Never add the cement separately — it can cause balls of cement in the mix.
