President, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Helix Steel the exclusive manufacturer of Helix. HELIX STEEL - Manufacturer of HELIX concrete reinforcement.HELIX is a patented specialty structural reinforcement material designed to eliminate the use of rebar and steel mesh in concrete. Pieces of twisted wire with a unique cross section, HELIX was developed at the University of Michigan in 1997 then licensed and commercialized. With its patented shape and engineered twist, HELIX works by locking into concrete to provide increased Modulus of Rupture (1st Crack Strength) as well as increased bending and shear strength compared to conventionally reinforced concrete. Even very low dosages of HELIX result in dramatic performance improvements for most all concrete applications.HELIX is manufactured in the U.S. and is now sold in over 30 countries for a wide variety of applications such as reinforcement of commercial slabs, structural foundations, composite decks, bridges and a number of precast products including structural panels, pipes and underground vessels, as well as for blast resistance in bank and military munitions vaults.For more information about HELIX visit our website at: 73••••••14 x60 to speak with me directly about how HELIX can help your company increase it\'s bid to win ratio through cost reduction and competitive advantage, as well as increase your bottom line on work you currently have under contract.
