San Shek Wan Sewage Treatment Works, Hong Kong

The San Shek Wan Sewage Treatment Works (STW) project in Hong Kong marks a significant step towards addressing the sewage disposal needs of the South Lantau region. As the population of South Lantau is projected to grow, with an ultimate population reaching approximately 12,600 by 2039, the sewage flow is anticipated to increase to 5,800 m³/day. To accommodate this, a comprehensive sewerage system is being constructed, which includes a trunk sewerage system for Pui O area, a secondary STW at San Shek Wan, and a village sewerage system for Lo Uk.

A critical component of this ambitious infrastructure project is the use of advanced materials and technologies to ensure its successful and sustainable completion. Dextra, a global leader in engineered construction products, has played a pivotal role by supplying Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) soil nails for the excavation and lateral support (ELS) works.

The Role of GFRP Soil Nails in ELS Works

The excavation and lateral support works are essential to the project’s foundation and stability. The challenging geotechnical conditions in Hong Kong, characterized by complex soil and rock formations, necessitate the use of robust and reliable reinforcement solutions. GFRP soil nails, provided by Dextra, are ideal for such conditions due to their high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight nature.

GFRP soil nails are used to stabilize slopes and excavations, preventing landslides and soil erosion. Their corrosion resistance is particularly beneficial in environments exposed to moisture and chemicals, such as sewage treatment works. This ensures a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance costs compared to traditional steel reinforcement.

Benefits of Dextra’s GFRP Solutions

Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel, GFRP does not corrode when exposed to harsh environmental conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for the wet and chemically aggressive conditions present in sewage treatment works.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: GFRP offers a high tensile strength comparable to steel but at a fraction of the weight. This ease of handling and installation translates to time and labor savings.
Durability: The longevity of GFRP soil nails ensures the structural integrity of the excavation and lateral support systems over the extended operational life of the sewage treatment works.
الاستدامة: By using GFRP, the project reduces its reliance on steel, thereby contributing to more sustainable construction practices.

Impact on the San Shek Wan STW Project

Dextra’s involvement and the implementation of GFRP soil nails have significantly enhanced the efficiency and sustainability of the San Shek Wan STW project. The advanced materials have ensured that the excavation and lateral support works are not only robust and reliable but also cost-effective over the long term.

Upon completion, the sewage from South Lantau will be conveyed to the newly constructed STW for proper treatment. The treated effluent will then be safely discharged into the sea about 1.4 km off the South Lantau coast, ensuring minimal environmental impact. This project represents a crucial infrastructure upgrade that will support the region’s growth and development while maintaining high environmental and operational standards.

Cross Island Line (CRL) MRT, Singapore

دكسترا has played a pivotal role in the construction of Singapore’s Cross Island Line (CRL) MRT project, supplying Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) soft-eyes, بارتيك couplers and قضبان الرأس for several crucial packages. دكسترا continues to support the ongoing packages of this extensive project.

The CRL is set to become Singapore’s eighth MRT line and its longest fully underground line, stretching over 50 kilometers. The project is being executed in three phases, with the first phase anticipated to be operational by 2030.

To minimize the environmental impact on the forested areas of the nature reserve, engineering solutions were meticulously chosen to further mitigate environmental disruption. These solutions include digging deeper into the ground and employing a large diameter boring machine, capable of accommodating two train tracks within a single tunnel. This approach not only reduces the surface footprint but also enhances the efficiency of the tunneling process.

Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are a staple in Singapore’s subterranean infrastructure projects, adept at operating under a variety of ground conditions. The use of GFRP soft-eyes supplied by دكسترا is integral to these operations. Soft-eyes are essential components in TBM tunneling, acting as temporary openings that allow the TBM to break through concrete walls without compromising structural integrity. The GFRP material is preferred for its high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation, ensuring safe and efficient tunneling operations.

دكسترا‘s expertise and reliable supply of GFRP soft-eyes, بارتيك couplers and headed bars have significantly contributed to the progress of the CRL project, aligning with Singapore’s commitment to sustainable and innovative infrastructure development.

Jal Jeevan Mission Water Reservoirs, India

The Jal Jeevan Mission of the Government of India is a flagship initiative where attempts are made to ensure adequate supplies of quality drinking water at affordable rates on a long-term basis. It emphasizes the importance of proper water management, infrastructure development, and community participation to achieve the ambitious goal of ‘Har Ghar Jal’ (Water to Every Household).

Considering the widespread geography of India, uneven terrain, and human settlements in remote locations, access to continuous water is a challenge. Therefore, overhead tanks are a good option for efficiently storing and distributing water, particularly in areas with inconsistent water supply patterns. Construction and infrastructure development are yet another key factors that have a direct influence on development.

Precast construction is one such method that has gained tremendous momentum in recent times due to its advantages, such as accelerated productivity, better quality control, environmental friendliness, and optimized material and labor usage. Although this method incurs high initial setup costs, its attractiveness is enhanced by large-scale projects with standardized designs. In the project, our team worked in close coordination with Larsen & Toubro (L&T) from the design stage, carefully selecting Groutec and Bartec couplers to connect the H and U frames of the overhead tanks.

Our range of Groutec couplers is arguably the most reliable mechanical splices, specially designed to connect two precast elements with no requirement for in-situ wet concrete joints. These couplers have been successfully qualified and tested over the years on several major infrastructure projects, including process plant pipe racks, residential and commercial buildings, and data centers, among others.

Tai Po Railway Pier – Reconstruction of Tai Po Kau Tide Gauge Station, Hong Kong

في المشهد الساحلي الديناميكي في تاي بو كاو، والأقاليم الجديدة، وهونج كونج، تتطلب مشاريع البنية التحتية حلولاً قوية ومرنة. أحد هذه المساعي، وهو مشروع إعادة بناء محطة قياس المد والجزر تاي بو كاو، يتطلب مواد مبتكرة لتحمل التحديات الفريدة التي تفرضها بيئتها. تدخلت Dextra لتوفير ما يقرب من 1000 متر Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebar for the slab of the Tai Po Railway Pier، يعرض فعالية المواد المركبة المتقدمة في البناء البحري.

ويهدف مشروع محطة قياس المد والجزر في تاي بو كاو إلى تنشيط البنية التحتية القائمة، وتعزيز قدرتها على الصمود في مواجهة قوى المد والجزر، والتآكل، والتدهور البيئي. وإدراكًا للقيود المفروضة على حديد التسليح التقليدي في البيئات البحرية، سعى المشروع إلى البحث عن بدائل يمكن أن توفر متانة فائقة وطول العمر. ديكسترا حديد التسليح GFRP ظهرت كحل مثالي، حيث توفر مقاومة استثنائية للتآكل والصدأ والتدهور الكيميائي المرتبط عادة بالتعرض للمياه المالحة.

حديد التسليح GFRP، المكونة من ألياف زجاجية عالية القوة مدمجة في مصفوفة بوليمر، توفر خصائص ميكانيكية مماثلة للفولاذ ولكن مع فوائد إضافية. والجدير بالذكر، حديد التسليح GFRP يُظهر موصلية حرارية أقل بكثير، مما يقلل من خطر الجسر الحراري ويعزز السلامة الهيكلية في التغيرات الشديدة في درجات الحرارة. علاوة على ذلك، فإن خصائصه غير المغناطيسية تقضي على التداخل الكهرومغناطيسي، مما يجعله مناسبًا للتطبيقات الحساسة مثل محطات قياس المد والجزر.

التطبيق الخاص ب حديد التسليح GFRP within the Tai Po Kau Tide Gauge Station project encompassed both straight and bend bars, catering to the diverse structural requirements of the public pier. Dextra’s expertise in custom fabrication ensured precise bending and shaping of the rebar to fit the intricate geometries of the pier structure, facilitating seamless integration and minimizing construction complexities.
