HELIX MICRO REBAR FOR SLABS ON GRADE
About the Webinar
This one hour overview webinar invites:
- Structural engineers
- Contractors
- Developers
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. When you choose Helix® Micro Rebar®, Helix Steel's engineers work with you to simplify your slab design and construction processes.
It will also make your construction site safer, cut down on storage complications, reduce your costs and expedite your concrete installation schedule. Whether you're an engineer, contractor or building owner you will learn more about how innovating concrete slab reinforcement will benefit you and your business for years to come.
This webinar will be presented by Helix President and Chief Technology Officer Luke Pinkerton.
As an AIA- and RCEP-accredited course, every webinar attendee will also receive an official Certificate of Completion.

Luke Pinkerton, CTO, Inventor, Helix Steel
Biography
Luke Pinkerton is the CTO and founder of Helix Steel. He has a BS in engineering physics from Hope College and an MS in structural engineering from the University of Michigan in 1999. He earned an MBA degree from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2004.
While earning his MS in Structural Engineering, Mr. Pinkerton worked extensively in the area of fiber reinforced concrete including the early development of Helix and was responsible for the design and fabrication of the first equipment to manufacture twisted fibers. Prior to Helix Steel, Mr. Pinkerton was at General Dynamics as a structural engineer involved with the research and development team assembled to design the US Navy's next generation destroyer class ship with particular interest in the area of shock loading analysis, blast resistant structure design and test management.
Mr. Pinkerton is a member of ACI and a member of the ACI 544 Committee for Fiber Reinforced Concrete and ACI Committee 332 for Residential Concrete Work. He is a published author in industry related trade journals.
