ساحة كريمون
The Karimun Yard located on the small island of Karimun (pop. 200,000), less than 25km away from the island of Batam (Indonesia) and Singapore. The Karimun Yard, operated by Saipem offers more than 780,000 sqm* of fabrication areas with an annual production of 50,000 tons.
Between 2009 and 2010 Dextra has manufactured and supplied for Saipem large >Marine Tie Bars, which were incorporated into the main quay wall. In 2008, Dextra also supplied the Marine Tie Bars and >Waling Beams connecting the sheet pile walls of the service jetty
For the main yard, Dextra supplied its Marine Tie Bars Grade 700, which is the highest in the range. Higher tie bars grades allow to high performance while limiting the size and weight of the bars, making them easier to transport and install. Grade 700 can also be used to optimize design, for example by spreading the bars further away from each other, hence reducing the total number of bars on the project.
To connect the bars to the walls, ball cages were used. Used together with a bearing plate embedded in wall, ball cages allow a multidirectional adjustment angle of 10°. To splice bar segments, couplers were also used.
