Helix Steel
Australasia will display their revolutionary
reinforced concrete on stand F229, as first-time exhibitors, at the 2014 Queensland Mining & Engineering (QME) Exhibition.
After entering the Australian market only four years ago,
mining companies such as Rio Tinto, Anglo Coal, APLNG, Newcrest Limited, KBL
Mining Limited and Peabody Energy have already adopted the Helix Micro-Rebar
solution.
Unlike traditional reinforced
concrete, Helix Micro-Rebar is based on a structural composite material that
combines concrete and reinforcement into one system instead of two.
This means Helix Micro-Rebar
is tougher, more durable and has a greater flexural capacity.
It outperforms all other
reinforcement systems such as mesh, rebar, and steel, polypropylene and
fiberglass fibres.
Additionally, this product
requires less than five minutes to mix and by eliminating the requirement for
rebar, the construction time of jobs such as concrete slabs is greatly reduced.
Helix Micro-Rebar meets the efficiency, productivity and
cost-saving requirements of the Queensland mining sector, as a concrete
solution that is easily applied, more robust, safer and more cost-effective
than traditional rebar and mesh.
Mining companies have reported up to an 80 per cent saving in
their reinforcement costs and a 50 per cent reduction in scheduled time as a
result of using Helix Micro Rebar for concrete work projects.
Helix is also currently being used in the construction of
‘storm resistant’ or ‘tornado proof’ housing across America.
Designed to also emulate
structural rebar steel, Helix Micro-Rebar is an excellent alternative to
reinforced concrete and is a viable replacement for structural supports such as
columns, piers, beams and structural wall panels.
This ensures Helix Micro-Rebar
is your concrete and reinforcement solution for all industrial, mining and
infrastructure applications.
