Method of making an electrical contact between rebars

Abstract

Abstract The aim of the invention is to provide a method for electrically contacting metal reinforcements in concrete which can be carried out at low costs and which also provides a means for preventing the concrete surface from having to be partially chiseled open and then filled in again. To this end, the invention proposes a method for electrically contacting metal reinforcements in concrete. According to the invention, the position of the metal reinforcement in the concrete is detected, a bore hole (4) extending right up to the metal reinforcement is produced in the concrete and a threaded rod (7) is anchored in the bore hole by way of an expansion anchor (6). Said threaded rod is screwed into the bore hole until it contacts the metal reinforcement in an electrically conductive manner.
