Spanish term

mesa de doblado de dos vías

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering rebars
I have this in a list of equipment. I'm assuming that this is a bending table, but I don't know what the "vías" refers to. This bending table is 11 m long.

The project is the building of a tunnel. I have no more context and haven't been able to find this in Google either.

3 double bending lines

I have no time now but this is a two-way bending table i.e. the rebar stock comes in either direction to facilitate the work with particular lengths and positions, there are similar long tables in foundries and their downstream workshops.

double bending lines

Hi Nikki,

I don't have a lot of time to look into this right now, but I found something that may help. I think rather than a bending "table", at that length it would be more like a "line". Here's a page that has photos of several rebar shear lines and bending lines, including one that's a combination (Combiline) which has "double bending lines".

Having looked at the photos of the shear lines, I think the shear line part of the Combiline is what's at left (with the orange parts and uprights), so maybe the two long pieces that run front to back are the "double bending lines" or "dos vías".

I thought I'd post this for you in case it helps...I haven't figured out how these things work, but have a feeling it may be something like this.

FWIW...
