About the Webinar
After hundreds of years of evolutionary changes in construction, technology is finally beginning to revolutionize construction! Learn about how innovation in materials, engineering and construction methods are improving the way we build and helping to address the growing challenges of material availability, cost, labor and climate change.
One example – why neglect the tensile strength of concrete as we do with reinforced concrete design when there are technologies that can improve it? Beware, attend only with an open mind!
Our free webinar will give you insight directly from Helix Steel’s president Luke Pinkerton, and every webinar attendee will receive an official Certificate of Completion.
What You Will Learn
- A brief history of construction innovation
- The new technologies available today to improve buildings, save time and reduce costs
- How improving the tensile strength of concrete using Helix Micro Rebar can help

About Helix Steel
Helix Steel is an innovative business based in Michigan that manufacturers and distributes the proprietary Helix® Micro Rebar® concrete reinforcement. The one-inch-long twisted steel pieces are mixed with concrete to create a long-lasting bond, preventing cracks before they even start, and are code-approved in many applications from warehouse slabs and highway bridges to tilt-up panels and ICF.
Proactive Concrete Reinforcement Technology
Saves You Time
Every 10,000 sq. ft. of rebar replaced with Micro Rebar® saves one full day of construction.
Saves You Money
Using Micro Rebar® allows contractors to simplify operations, dramatically reducing project costs.
A Superior Product
When compared to rebar, Helix® Micro Rebar® can increase fatigue resistance by up to 300%, and flexural strength by up to 33%.
Featured Projects
Pier 57 Ferris Wheel
Pier 57 is a Seattle waterfront location favored by tourists and locals. It was lengthened to construct a 156 ft diameter Ferris wheel which opened in 2012. Helix® Micro Rebar™ reinforcement was incorporated into the project design to fully replace the #6 rebar cages inside 53 piles.
Pulaski Egg Farm
Rose Acre Farms offers commodity eggs, specialty eggs including cage-free varieties, liquid eggs, dried eggs, and egg protein powder.
Indigo Green
The Villages of Indigo Green on St. Maarten are located in one of the most desirable destinations of the Caribbean.
MARS Pavilion
Helix® Micro Rebar™ reinforcement allows architects to design structures that are not rectangular and provides a reinforcement solution for technologies such as 3D concrete printing.
