Helix Micro Rebar in Design-Build
Webinar
The competition for design-build work is becoming more and more fierce. It’s time to learn proven ways to sharpen your designs by implementing Helix Micro Rebar in your concrete. Helix Steel’s team will be with you the entire way from design through construction.
Helix Micro Rebar for Slabs on Grade
Webinar
This exclusive webinar will introduce you to Helix® Micro Rebar®, the industry-leading proactive concrete reinforcement that’s only one-inch long, and how this strong-but-mighty steel piece can greatly improve concrete slabs.
It will make your construction site safer, cut down on storage complications, reduce your costs and expedite your concrete installation schedule.
Engineering Reports and Helix Micro Rebar for Code Officials
Webinar
Helix Steel has 15+ years of experience in providing better ways to build with structural concrete. Helix Micro Rebar, which is a one-inch twisted piece of steel, has been used in more than 40,000 projects and has been demonstrated to improve the resiliency, ductility and strength of concrete to resist concrete crack formation.
Using alternative reinforcements that have evaluation reports is the only trustworthy way to build with confidence and have specific information and design methodology for applications such as slabs, foundations, footings, walls and pavements. Spend an hour at this webinar with Luke Pinkerton, CEO and founder of Helix Steel, to learn about our ICC-ES evaluation report (ESR 3949) and engineering equivalency report (EER 3949), and how they help code officials understand, trust and confidently approve Helix Micro Rebar.
Manufacturing Continuous Improvement Methods Applied to Construction
Webinar
It was in the early 1980’s that Bill Smith at Motorola developed Six Sigma principles in order to measure defects and improve overall quality. Six Sigma is a process that makes use of statistics and data analysis to analyze and reduce errors or defects. In this process, the purpose is to improve cycle times while reducing manufacturing defects. How can these methods be applied to construction to improve processes like placing and finishing concrete? Luke Pinkerton (a Six Sigma Black Belt) will provide an overview and case studies of how this method can be applied to all aspects of construction from bidding/sales to finishing slabs to improve profits and reduce callbacks.
