Madden Bolt fabricates custom anchor bolt cages in #14J and #18J rebar (A615 Gr. 80) for transmission, foundation, and pole work, built to your drawings. We assemble, weld, and tag each cage at our Houston rebar facility for fast-track delivery, and hot-dip galvanize them in-house. AISC certified, family-owned since 1988.
An anchor bolt cage is a prefabricated assembly of reinforcing bars, tied in with the anchor bolts, welded and wired into one unit that drops straight into a foundation or pole-base hole. We build it to the bar pattern, diameter, bolt circle, and projection on your drawing, so the crew sets one engineered piece instead of placing dozens of bars by hand in the field. Cages are built in #14J and #18J heavy rebar for the high uplift and overturning loads on pole and equipment foundations.
Every cage out of our Houston rebar facility is built to a drawing. The configurations we run most:
Cages run rebar and anchor bolts together. Add our custom anchor bolts and get the whole pole-base or foundation package as one source, or see our threaded rebar.
Anchor bolt cages are built in #14J and #18J rebar (A615 Gr. 80), the 1-3/4-inch and 2-1/4-inch bar sized for the heavy uplift and overturning loads on pole and equipment foundations. Bar pattern, bolt circle, and projection all come off your drawing.
We assemble, weld, and tag the cages at our Houston rebar facility, then ship them ready to set, so the crew drops one engineered assembly instead of tying dozens of bars out in the field. We build each cage to the engineer’s drawing, and the tag keeps it paired to its foundation location for fast-track delivery and placement.
Threaded rebar and cage components get hot-dip galvanized in-house per ASTM A767 (rebar) and A123 (fabricated steel) on the same property we built them, and that’s the whole game on buried foundation and pole-base assemblies, because they never get re-coated. More on our in-house hot-dip galvanizing services.
We’re an AISC certified fabricator with a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) on staff. Every cage and threaded-rebar order traces back to the heat, backed by mill test reports (MTRs). From raw bar to galvanized cage, the same quality team signs off on every lot. See our full quality and safety standards.

We build cages in #14J and #18J rebar (A615 Gr. 80), the heavy 1-3/4-inch and 2-1/4-inch bar that handles the overturning and wind loads on transmission, distribution, and equipment foundations. Bar pattern and bolt circle come off your drawing.
No. The project engineer designs the cage from the soil and structure loads; we fabricate it to your approved drawings. Send the cage detail with the bar pattern and bolt-circle dimensions and we build to it, we don’t determine the design.
Yes, in-house. Cage components get hot-dip galvanized per ASTM A767 (rebar) and A123 (fabricated steel) on the same property we build them, so the coating is even and there is no outside-galvanizer delay, which matters most on buried foundation and pole-base assemblies that never get re-coated.
Yes. Cages run rebar and anchor bolts together, so we kit the anchor bolts, nuts, and washers with the cage and ship them matched to the foundation. Our anchor bolts page covers the configurations we pair with cages.
Send the cage detail, bolt-circle dimensions and we will price it. Request a quote online or call the Houston shop at 713.939.9999. Standard, rush, and expedited orders are all fine.
Send us your cage detail, bolt-circle dimensions. We assemble, weld, tag, and galvanize cages with lead times that beat the industry.
