(57) Rebar, also referred to as reinforcing bar, is typically used to reinforce concrete to improve the tensile strength of elements made of concrete when constructing buildings, factories, bridges, nuclear power plants and other structures. There is a method of construc-ting an array (711) of rebars, the method comprising: automatically positioning a plurality of rebar such that they are spaced apart from one another to form an array (711); using an array interval spacing means (709) to maintain the spatial relationship of the rebar in the array; releasing the array from the array interval spacing means such that the array is placed in a target location and orientation for casting into concrete; and removing the array interval spacing means.
