The Malaysian SSP Line is the second line of Klang Valley’s MRT System. The main purpose of this project is to provide a better railway infrastructure and transport system in order to serve Malaysia’s growing population.

Commuting through the heart of the Capital

The Malaysian SSP Line will connect Sungai Buloh to Putrajaya, running through the center of Kuala Lumpur and its suburbs. With its 35 stations, among which 11 will be providing connections to other lines, the SSP Line will allow commuters to transfer with ease to and from existing and planned rail lines.
The rail transit system involves the construction of more than 52 km: 13.5km of underground line and a 38.7km of elevated rail. Once operational, it is expected to have a ridership of 529,000 passengers per day.

Rebar couplers for D-wall and slab

For this large metro project, the contractor joint venture MMC-Gamuda has chosen Dextra’s popular rebar reinforcement solution بارتيك, supported by 3 sets of bar-end high-productivity equipment. Approximatively 200,000 pieces have been delivered as of April 2018.
دكسترا بارتيك have been used for productivity reasons. Couplers were embedded in the diaphragm walls surrounding the underground stations, providing horizontal connection points at a later stage of the project. After excavation, couplers are used to connect bars and start the station’s slabs.

دكسترا GFRP عيون ناعمة for tunnel construction

For the Thailand Cultural Centre – Min Buri section, the contractor Joint-Venture of Italian-Thai Development and CKST opted for more than 40 units of Dextra’s turnkey solution for tunneling FRP Soft-Eye.
Being well-known for its unique cut-ability technology, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Soft-eyes facilitates break-ins and break-outs of the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM). This is in fact the best alternative to conventional steel reinforcement – which would require mobilization of additional manpower and equipment.

دكسترا سونيتيك for Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL) tests

In order to verify the integrity of concrete in deep foundations, Italian-Thai Development, CKST JV and Unique Engineering have also chosen Dextra’s cross-hole sonic logging tubes – سونيتيك. These CSL tubes are available in several diameters, and have been specifically designed for easy and fast handling to accelerate construction speed. Over 30,000 tubes have been delivered to the project as of March 2022.

Complete rebar splicing solutions applied for the metro’s D-walls

To optimize the reinforcement of the Diaphragm Walls (D-Walls), بارتيك, one of Dextra’s mechanical الربط حديد التسليح systems, was installed. Thanks to its easy-to-install characteristic, بارتيك helps accelerate the projects schedule and reduce inventory as the standard coupler can also be used for Position splices. More than a million of بارتيك couplers have been delivered to the site.

Moreover, around 7,000 headed bars were applied at the end of the reinforcement bar as an alternative to hooks in congested areas of the structure.
