Grand Paris Express – Line 14
The Grand Paris Express is a major urban transport project taking place throughout the French capital. The project will add four new lines (lines 15, 16, 17, and 18) and extend two existing lines (11 and 14).
Dextra has been involved in several station packages through its local distributor partners. On line 14 in particular, Dextra supplied Fortec rebar couplers in the stations of Orsay and Pont Cardinet.
For Bagneux Station in the north of Paris, located at the intersection of metro line 4 and the future line 15, Dextra supplied its ASTEC Active Anchors.
ASTEC المراسي النشطة are the preferred solution for subway station works as tunnel boring machines and earth-moving equipment can simply cut the FRP tendons of the anchors at any stage, eliminating the need for unreliable and costly anchor removal. The solution was approved for this project by the consulting firm SYSTRA.
Following numerous successful projects in the Middle East, this was the first time ASTEC المراسي النشطة (a recent Dextra innovation) were installed in Europe.
