Dave, in cases where there are numerous grounding electrodes such as Building steel and rebar and buried iron like youre talking about, I'd bond them alllll lllll lllll together including made grounds like driven rods. Depending on your local authority you may not even need those driven rods, they are used more like at your house where you dont have any buried building and structural steel etc. Sooo check first with your local NEC authority (may not need driven rods???) but my practice where I designed was to bond any n alllll lllll those things together and run the big copper wire from there to the service entrance where it bonds to the Neutral. At our big ordnance buildings we didnt use driven rods, we had a huge braided copper wire buried all around the buildings perimeter and we bonded it to structural steel and re bar etc. and ran that to the Neutral wooooo oo hooooo oo now thats somea SERIOUS grounding huh.
