Helical reinforcement is increasingly used in masonry repair because it provides a practical way to reinforce cracked and weakened brickwork while retaining suitable existing masonry.
The system typically uses stainless steel helical bars installed into prepared mortar joints and secured with grout or another specified bonding material. HeliMate Australia supplies helical bars, coils, grout, epoxy and associated equipment for masonry reinforcement projects across Australia and New Zealand.
Understanding the components and installation principles can help contractors and property professionals determine where this type of reinforcement may be suitable.
What Is Helical Reinforcement?
A helical reinforcement bar is a steel reinforcement element with a twisted profile. When installed into a prepared masonry joint and surrounded by suitable grout, its geometry allows it to engage with the surrounding material.
