Helix Steel is the manufacturer of Twisted Steel Micro Rebar (TSMR), a 3 dimensional concrete reinforcement technology that quantifiably increases shear strength, durability and ductility while providing industry leading pre-crack capabilities. Simply put, by using TSMR, you are protecting your investment in concrete. At 4 times the tensile strength of rebar and one-third the weight, TSMR enables a tremendous reduction in overall carbon footprint and provides valuable LEED credits.

Since 2003, TSMR has been used in applications ranging from structural foundations, walls, and slabs to suspended structural concrete, paving and tunnels. In 2012, Helix Steel achieved IAPMO’s Uniform Evaluation Service (UES) Evaluation Report ER-279 on Helix Steel 5-25. Helix Steel 5-25 is the only discontinuous concrete reinforcement product in the world with an ISO certified design manual that can be followed to design vertical applications (such as walls) with Helix Steel as the primary concrete reinforcement.
