The Cape Town Stadium, also known as the new Green Point Stadium, is a football and multipurpose sport venue located in Cape Town, South Africa. The stadium was built to replace the older Green Point Stadium, which had a capacity of 18,000 seats, and offer a larger arena with a capacity of 55,000 seats in preparation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup hosted by South Africa. The older arena was demolished in 2007, followed by the construction of the new venue which was completed in time in December 2009, a few months before the first world cup match.

For this large stadium project, Dextra supplied its Bartec rebar coupler solution, which is the main rebar coupler solution offered by Dextra in South Africa. Dextra’s offer included 70,000 high-performance rebar couplers, highly productive rebar preparation equipment, as well as a training/aftersales service during all the construction phase in order to guarantee production levels and schedule.

Bartec couplers were used to splice bars in the foundations and columns of the stadium, as vertical connectors.
