Wire ties are fine to keep the rebar touching from bar to band (the
smaller rod surrounding the
verticals or horizontals as it were). It has been used for years on
buildings, roadways, etc. Generally
speaking the concrete holds the connection together, the connection
and rod make the concrete
strong ...
The only place where I am aware of welding rebar is to butt splice,
with a sleeve around the connection
and cad weld the connection. Used on cooling towers.
Order towers with the rebar cage and they likely will come welded and
not tied.
That's been the recent local experience.
