I am Confused !!

I understand the requirements of the NEC.
However, the International Residential Code (IRC) does NOT allow rebar to be exposed outside of the foundation. Sec. R404.4.6.1 The only way I can see complaince is for the GEC to be connected to the rebar IN the foundation and the copper brought out of the concrete.

Is the chase in the photo filled with concrete after the wire is connected ??

We have not done this before and want to learn how it is done.

If i understand this would be similar to swimming pool grid bonding, only it is used to to ground not bond.
