Parque da Cidade is a multi-tower, multi-purpose green building complex located in the south of São Paulo. The project features five corporate office towers, a hotel, residential buildings, and a shopping mall.

For this project, Dextra supplied its Rolltec rebar coupler solution to contractor Odebrecht.

Rolltec is the most popular rebar splicing solution in Brazil, offering a competitive alternative to lap splices and, more importantly, enabling advanced applications that simplify project management and operations.

At Parque da Cidade, Rolltec rebar couplers were used to connect columns and beams. The solution was supported by Rolltec bar-end preparation equipment installed on-site and maintained by Dextra’s local engineers.

For this application, rebar couplers were aligned horizontally within the column reinforcement at each floor and cast into concrete. Dextra provided its couplers with thread protection caps to prevent liquid concrete from leaking into the couplers.

At a later stage of the project, continuation bars were directly connected into the couplers, providing convenient starter bars for beam or slab reinforcement.

Additionally, Dextra supplied its Unitec solution for Parque da Cidade. Unitec is a bolted coupler that does not require any rebar preparation. It was used to connect rebars protruding from two precast elements.
