Time flies and construction projects are going strong in the United Arab Emirates. This February 2018, Dextra is celebrating 15 years of operations in Dubai, our Middle East regional hub that started Dextra expansion in the region. This is a true success story embedded in the concrete of the most famous landmarks in the Middle East!

Dextra Midde East, Dextra first entity in the Gulf, has grown to become a leading provider of technical solutions for the construction sector in the region, participating to most of challenging infrastructure and supertower projects. We would like to thank to all the customers, users, prescriptors which have been using Dextra products across the years.

Leader in reinforcement splice and equipment in the Middle East

Our concrete reinforcement solutions in the Middle East are distributed through a strong network of cut & bend distributors located across 6 countries. We would like to give them a very special “Thank you” as our success in the Gulf is also theirs!

Are you familiar with the Groutec sleeve system? Groutec is Dextra main precast connection solution. It consists of a sleeve fixed onto the reinforcement inside the precast element thanks to a threaded connection.

At the construction site, connection between two precast elements is achieved by injecting non-proprietary grout in the coupler’s cavity, removing all need for an in-situ wet joint between.

Dextra Groutec AutoCAD tool

How to get started ?

1. Download and install AutoCAD palette .zip >> Download (registration required)
2. Download and open Groutec datasheet >> Download (registration required)
3. Gather precast element dimensions and reinforcement detail.
4. In AutoCAD, insert couplers and/or positioning accessories. Change rebar size by simply clicking on blue arrow..
5. After insertion, product order codes can be retrieved by double clicking on coupler.

Headed Bars are anchorages made of a rebar prepared with a thread on which is fixed an end anchor (the head). They generally act as a substitute to hooks in congested reinforcement areas.
Headed Bars are a way for designers to reduce steel congestion. Contractors also appreciate Headed Bars as they improve concrete flow and are easy/fast to install (double heads especially can be locked by rotating the anchor).

Headed Bars are fully compatible with Dextra threaded systems. On Bartec, Fortec, Rolltec, the end anchor is fixed on an A-type threaded rebar. For Griptec, the anchors fit onto a male sleeve. No extra equipment is required.

Duba ISCC Green Power Plant 1 is a large power infrastructure project taking place in the North West of Saudi Arabia, on the Red Sea. The project, based on the ISCC technology (Integretad Solar Combined Cycle) is a combined Gas (500 MW) and Solar (additional 50MW) power generation plant.

For Duba Green Power Plant, Dextra supplied its Geotec Double Corrosion Protection (DCP) Permanent Steel ground anchors to prevent soil movement in the perimeter of the excavation.

For this project, Dextra provided a “factory grouting” service, meaning that the anchors arrived at the site as pre-grouted 12-meters segments, ready to re-connect via couplers and to install.

Das Viaducto del Manglar-Projekt ist ein 5,3 km langes Brückenprojekt, das sich über den Ciénaga de la Virgen (Sumpf) nördlich der Stadt Cartagena in Kolumbien erstreckt. Das Projekt zielt darauf ab, Verkehrsstaus beim Verlassen der Stadt in der Zona Norte (Nordbereich) zu reduzieren.

For this project, Dextra supplied its Headed Bar systems, used into large prefabricated caissons, in order to reduce the reinforcement congestion. That application allow designers to lower the steel/concrete ratio in eleemnts. Headed Bars are also much easier to install, as they fit on straight bar that can be inserted in the case easily.

The Bar-Boljare Highway is a key infrastructure project in Montenegro led by the Ministry of Transportation and Maritime Affairs and built by China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC). The 2×2 lanes highway spans over 40km, in seismic environment.

iNGEROP, the consulting firm on the project, required the rebar couplers to comply with ISO 15835 requirements (cyclic requirements as per class S2). For that reason, CRBC chose Dextra Bartec® solution for reinforcement connection.
