Maryah Plaza is a commercial mixed-use development located on Al Maryah Island, designated to become the Emirates’ new business and lifestyle destination. The four water-adjacent towers comprise residential apartments, a 5-star hotel, and retail outlets. The project aims to create an open public space where users can walk freely across the development.

Die Anfänge Kompressionsstreben are used in one of the four towers of Maryah Plaza. The four sets of Kompressionsstreben delivered by Dextra elegantly fit into the tower’s lobby floors, opening them up for waterfront views. Kompressionsstreben support heavy structures; in this project, they serve as cross-bracing elements, enhancing the tower’s ability to withstand seismic loads.

Four sets of 60 cm-diameter Kompressionsstreben were used in the project. These are the largest diameter and highest-performing Kompressionsstreben Dextra has ever built. Thanks to a streamlined design and a convenient pin-and-fork locking feature, the sets were assembled on-site in just a week.

Der Kompressionsstrebe is a circular hollow-section bar capped at both ends with threaded forks. This threaded fork design allows for easy assembly, enabling workers to put the struts together on-site in just minutes.
