In this episode, Luke Pinkerton, President/CEO and Founder of Helix Steel, joins the show to discuss ways to revolutionize the construction industry, particularly through the lens of structural engineering and concrete design. We also discuss Helix® Micro Rebar®, Helix Steel's flagship product and an alternative to traditional rebar reinforcement.

You’ll hear about how the industry is constrained by the prescriptive nature of structural engineering, how the structural profession tends to neglect tensile strength of concrete, how the industry can still innovate within the code environment, insights into Helix® Micro Rebar® -benefits, use cases, performance comparisons - and much more!
