The Olympic Velodrome, now renamed Lee Valley VeloPark, is a multipurpose sports facility located in East London. The facility was initially built to host the 2012 London Olympics and Paralympics. It still features road courses and BMX tracks and hosts international cycling competitions.

For this project, Dextra delivered the Griptec rebar splicing solution to contractors Sir Robert McAlpine and Byrne Construction.

Der Griptec splices were mostly used to provide vertical rebar connections in the velodrome columns.

Our Griptec solution was supported by Dextra’s local distributor in London, which houses the Dextra Griptec equipment required for the extrusion of the Griptec sleeves onto the rebar.

Griptec is a CARES TA1-A, TA1-B, and TA1-C approved solution, making it suitable for even the most advanced rebar splicing applications and stringent project requirements.
