The Dunkirk LNG Terminal is a new natural gas facility built in northern France. The project is owned by EDF (France’s main energy company), Fluxys, and Total. The terminal facilitates the importation of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is transported at an ultra-low temperature of -163°C. It plays a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for natural gas in France and Belgium, supplying 20% of the total national consumption of these two European markets. It is the second-largest LNG terminal in continental Western Europe.

For this major energy infrastructure project, Dextra collaborated with Bouygues Travaux Publics to supply جريبتيك, Dextra’s most advanced rebar splicing solution. Dextra provided the جريبتيك sleeves, while our local network of fabricators handled bar end preparation.

جريبتيك was used in the following key applications:

• Three reservoir external walls: Installed in vertical applications to reinforce structural integrity.
• Congested areas: جريبتيك Headed Bars were used as a substitute for hook bars, optimizing space and reducing congestion.
• Temporary openings: جريبتيك was also applied in various parts of the project to create temporary openings, facilitating the movement of personnel and equipment through the reinforcement.

For more information on similar applications, please refer to the Tanger Med 2 Port project, also completed by Bouygues.
