I am working on a job where they have to drive a some equipment over retaining wall footings. As such, the contractor wants to epoxy in the rebar later. I am not a big fan of epoxying in rebar for an 8 ft. retaining wall due to the likelihood that it won't get installed properly. Is it OK if he casts in the vertical rebar stubs (#5 sticking up 30") and then bends them down until the equipment passes and then bend them back up? He is going to pack 6" of dirt over the footing for the travel lane. Any other ideas?

Thanks
