There’s an innovative solution to conventional labor-intensive, time-consuming processes in ICF construction and it’s only produced by Helix St
If you’re in the construction industry to improve buildings, revolutionize processes and work smarter, it may be time to rethink your concrete reinforcement.
Sure, rebar still has a place in this world for certain applications, but for many, such as slabs, walls, roads and even precast structures, another solution is staking its place.
The concrete reinforcement you’ve been waiting for is Helix Micro Rebar™, a one-inch twisted piece of steel that gives people in the construction industry more reasons than ever to innovate.
Why Should You Care About A Better Concrete Reinforcement?
Rebar has had its day in the sun. Helix Micro Rebar can often do much of what rebar does and much more. Here are some highlights:
Stronger Concrete
Helix Micro Rebar™’s small, twisted design creates phenomenal strength in concrete. The pieces are evenly dispersed throughout the concrete to create a composite material that retains its composition better than concrete with rebar. This eliminates corrosion, reduces cracks, and can increase load capacity without rebar added.
Streamlined Concrete Placement
Unlike rebar, which requires complex placement, laborious tying and time-consuming inspections, Helix Micro Rebar™ is pre-mixed directly into the concrete, either at the batch plant or at the job site, eliminating the need for additional labor and equipment. This streamlined installation process accelerates construction timelines and reduces overall project costs.
With a simplified concrete placement process, overall project expenses are lower, making Helix Micro Rebar a better choice for developers seeking to maximize their ROI.
Reduced Environmental Impact
We all care about the environment and reducing unnecessary materials, which is yet another reason to consider Helix Micro Rebar™.
Its design creates stronger concrete yet requires less steel compared to traditional rebar, minimizing your environmental impact. Helix Micro Rebar™ also helps to extend the lifespan of your concrete structures, reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements and ultimately conserving resources.
Tomorrow’s Concrete Needs Helix Micro Rebar™
It’s easy for contractors to continue using rebar. But for those who want to be innovative, think smarter and innovate to make their lives easier, Helix Micro Rebar™ must at least be a strong consideration.
