The Car Servicing Building located at 2 Kung Chong Road in Singapore is a mixed-use 7-storey car park basement, car servicing facility and office building. The building will be occupied by the Automobile Association of Singapore.

This project, built by Zhengda Corporporation Pte Ltd, is taking advantage of precast technology to achieve faster construction cycles. The production of the precast elements was performed by the Malaysian precaster Eastern Pretech.

For this project, Dextra delivered to Malaysia about 6,000 Groutec couplers, which have been embedded into shear walls and column elements.

The elements were then brought to site and reconnected to protruding reinforcement by injecting non-shrink grouting mortar. Bracing around the precast element is usually removed in the 3 days following the grout injection, significantly reducing the assembly time.

For more information about the availability of precast solutions in Singapore, please contact Dextra team in Malaysia.

Nathani Heights is a 72-storeys skycrapper in Mumbai. With a total height of 262 meters it is among the 30 tallest building in the city. The construction of the building started in 2012 and will be completed in 2018.

For this project, Dextra supplied its famous Bartec rebar coupler solution. Bartec is the main rebar coupler solutions in India, satisfying all technical requirements even in seismic areas.

As in other highrise building, rebar couplers have been used for large diameter rebar connection in vertical applications such as columns and corewalls (bar to bar vertical connection).

Rebar couplers were also used for slab connections. In that case, the coupler is pre-positionner flush with formwork (allowing climbing formwork to go up). After casting, a threaded rebar is simply screwed inside the coupler to create the starter bar.

اللوفر أبوظبي هو متحف مبتكر للفنون والحضارة يقع شمال مدينة أبو ظبي، عاصمة دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة. وهو أكبر متحف في شبه الجزيرة العربية، بمساحة إجمالية تبلغ 24000 متر مربع. افتتح متحف اللوفر أبوظبي أبوابه في 11 نوفمبر 2017.

بالنسبة لهذا المشروع، شاركت Dextra في أعمال الخرسانة بين عامي 2013 و2014، حيث قامت بتوريد بارتيك حل قارنات حديد التسليح المقدم من أرابتك لجميع وصلات حديد التسليح في الطوافة والأعمدة. تم استخدام قارنات التوصيل أيضًا في طريقة لإنشاء فتحات مؤقتة في هيكل التسليح للسماح بمرور الرجال والمعدات. المجموع 110.000 بارتيك تم توفير قارنات حديد التسليح لهذا المشروع.

ال بارتيك الحل هو حل معتمد من قبل DCL (مختبر دبي المركزي)، مما يجعل استخدامه ممكنًا في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة. تم تنفيذ جميع خدمات الخيوط لإعداد حديد التسليح المستخدم في متحف اللوفر أبوظبي من قبل شبكة موزعي دكسترا.

Business Garden Bucharest is a modern mixed used class A office complex. It features retail spaces, pairing with commercial and public services on the ground level. The name Business Garden stems from its integrated spacious green area, a garden connecting the buildings with designated recreation spaces. Generous lawn area, pedestrian pathways, and benches with free Wi-Fi are provided to invite the office goers to work or take a refreshing break outside. The complex is LEED Platinum pre-certified. To support the tenant’s everyday life needs of their employees, Business Garden Bucharest’s offices are designed to have efficient layout, built with high quality finishes and sustainable solutions that are in line with LEED Platinum green certifications.

For this project, Dextra was involved in the supply of its Fortec rebar coupler solution. The Fortec solution is made up of a standard rebar coupler that can be utilize as both standard and position splices connecting two rebar ends that have been previously enlarged and threaded. Fortec is especially suitable for seismic environment construction, which is the case of buildings in the Bucharest area.

Fortec couplers have been used to provide superstructure vertical connections. Fortec couplers are relatively compact and can help to reduce the congestion created from rebar lapping. Fortec couplers also provided temporary opening, allowing movement of the workers and equipment around the reinforcement. Before casting, the continuation bars are simply connecting to the couplers, filling the temporary opening gap.

London Wall Place is large a double tower office development in London built close to the Roman City Wall historical monument.

For this project, Dextra offered contractor Byrne Bros and main consultant WSP a technical solution for the fast installation of precast wall panels.

The concept was to install Groutec couplers in each panel reinforcement, at the bottom of the vertical bars previously prepared with Rolltec thread system, available in the UK through our distributor network.

After bracing the precast panel in its final position, non-shrink grout is injected into the cavity of the coupler, in order to create the rebar connection. Groutec is not reliant on a specific type of grout. Rather, several different brands of grout can be used, facilitating local scouring and helping to keep costs low. The bracing around the panel is then removed after the grout has achieve a prescribed strength.

After straightening and bracing of the precast panel, non-shrink grout is inserted into the cavity by injection. Dextra does not supply grout as Groutec is by design compatible with several brands that can be sourced locally, generating savings and easing project management.After injection, the bracing around the precast panel may then be removed after only 3 days.

The use of Groutec for precast panel is a time-saving and economical way to quickly take advantage of the precast technology. For similar application video, please check The Plum Central Station project page.

Icon Siam complex, located on the right bank of the Chao Phraya river in the West of Bangkok, is a new multipurpose commercial/residential complex consisting of two highrise buildings and a shopping mall. This new massive project aims to give back its glamour to the banks of the Chao Praya river.

The two towers are expected to reach 280m (SuperLux Tower) and 315m (Magnolia Tower) respectively. The Magnolia Tower will thus be slightly taller than the MahaNakhon Tower, Bangkok’s tallest building since 2015.

Dextra is supplying Thai-Obayashi (contractor of the shopping mall structure) and Italian-Thai (contractor of both towers) with its Bartec rebar splicing solution.

Dextra engineers performed operator trainings and do preventive maintenance directly on site to guarantee maximum output in thread production.

In total, more than 800,000 بارتيك rebar couplers and 20,000 Bartec قضبان الرأس are being used in foundations and superstructure in the following applications:

L-shaped dowel bars (wall-slab connections)

This is a typical application used in foundation D-Walls to avoid protruding rebar. it is also used in the superstructure to allow the sliding formwork to climb up without any disturbance

Substitution of hooked bars with end anchors

When the wall reinforcement is especially congested, the use of Headed Bars (also called end anchors) allows to anchor the reinforcement in the wall without the need to produce hooks.

Double-ended connection in shear-walls

This solution allows to create a continuity inside the column or wall by bridging two horizontal slabs or beams.

Welded couplers for composite structures

Sometimes it is necessary to start reinforcement from the steel structure. In that case, weldable couplers are the ideal solution: Made of a low-carbon steel, they can be welded easily and allow connection to a threaded rebar.
