Bangkok-Arena

Bangkok-Arena

The Bangkok Arena is a multisport indoor arena located in the Nong Chok district, east of Bangkok. Originally commissioned to host futsal tournaments, an indoor version of football, the arena now also hosts volleyball and basketball events, as well as concerts. It has a seating capacity of up to 12,000 people.

For this project, Dextra engineered and supplied the Spannstangen suspending the roof of the building in 2012.

The long architectural bar systems are anchored to concrete pylons and act as suspenders to support the building’s roofing structure.

For this project, Spannstangen were supplied in Grade 700, the highest in our range. The highest grade allows for a better performance-to-steel ratio, enabling the use of smaller diameters. This results in a slimmer structure and overall improved aesthetics. Additionally, smaller-diameter bars and lighter elements facilitate easier handling and installation on-site.

Each bar segment is spliced to the next using either couplers (for fixed lengths) or turnbuckles (for length adjustment and tensioning).

Connection to the concrete structure is achieved through fork ends mounted onto steel gusset plates.

In total, more than 129 tons of Spannstangen anchor the roof structure, with tendons exceeding 30 meters in length.

Chaglla-Staudamm

Chaglla-Staudamm

Chaglla Dam is a hydroelectric dam built on the Huallaga River in the Huánuco region of Peru. The dam stands 203 meters high and has a maximum installed capacity of 456 MW.

For this major dam project, Dextra consistently supplied its Rolltec rebar coupler solution to Brazilian contractor Odebrecht from 2012 to 2015.

Rolltec is the most popular rebar splicing solution in Latin America, offering a competitive alternative to lap splices.

Rebar preparation is supported by a unique lightweight machine, which can be operated by a single person. The Rolltec machine is relatively easy to transport and convenient to install, even in remote locations such as dam construction sites.

Beyond just couplers and equipment, Dextra also took charge of machine commissioning and operator training, ensuring the contractor’s team made the most of their rebar coupler solution.

Doha Metro Msheireb Station

Doha Metro Msheireb Station

Der Bahnhof Msheireb ist der wichtigste Umsteigebahnhof der Doha Metro. Es befindet sich in der Innenstadt von Doha, verbindet alle drei Linien (Rot, Grün und Gold) und wird als Tor zu den Stadien der FIFA Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2022 dienen

Die Msheireb-Station wird flächenmäßig zu einer der größten U-Bahn-Stationen der Welt werden.

Weiche Augen für TBMs

Für dieses Großprojekt konstruierte und lieferte Dextra zwischen 2013 und 2015 8 große ASTEC GFK Soft-Eyes, mit einem Durchmesser von jeweils 8 Metern. Soft Eyes sind Käfige aus GFK-Bewehrungsstahl, die in den D-Walls zwischen den Stahlsegmenten positioniert sind. GFK-Soft-Eyes ermöglichen Tunnelbohrmaschinen (TBMs) ein Durchfahren in kürzester Zeit, da die Stäbe von der Tunnelmaschine leicht zerkleinert werden können.

Rückhalteanker

Um die massiven D-Wände zu verankern und jegliche Bodenverschiebung während der Aushubarbeiten zu verhindern, lieferte Dextra auch seine ASTEC Aktivanker (AAA). Diese innovativen, nachgespannten Anker auf GFK-Basis bieten den Vorteil, dass sie mit Tunnelbohrmaschinen oder herkömmlichem Aushubgerät geschnitten werden können. Da sie leicht geschnitten werden können, müssen sie auch bei temporären Anwendungen nicht aus dem Boden entfernt werden.

Im Fall der Msheireb-Stationen wurden sogar im Zentrum von Soft-Eye Mehrspannanker (10 pro Anker bei diesem Projekt) installiert, um die D-Wall zu verankern. Auch diese Anker wurden beim Tunneldurchbruch durchtrennt (im Video unten zu sehen). Insgesamt wurden 150 Anker in der Station installiert.

Terminal 5 des Flughafens Heathrow

Terminal 5 des Flughafens Heathrow

Heathrow Airport, located approximately 25 km west of central London, is the busiest international airport in the United Kingdom.

Dextra was involved in the construction of Terminal 5 and its associated structures.

For Heathrow Airport, Dextra provided its most advanced rebar Schraubanschluss: Griptec, which is distributed in the United Kingdom by local expert fabricators.

Due to its high performance, inherent reliability, systematic proof loading of every connection in factory conditions, and comprehensive certification, Griptec is specified by major consultants worldwide. In the United Kingdom, Griptec holds all three CARES splicing product certificates: TA1-A, TA1-B, and TA1-C.

For our distributors servicing rebar preparation, the Griptec solution is both convenient and productive. It is supported by a smart machine operated by a single operator, offers highly efficient cycle times (approximately 45 seconds per rebar prepared), and includes a test that systematically proof loads each and every bar/sleeve connection.

For contractors, Griptec provides a simple, effective, and reliable way to connect rebar in columns, Schlitzwände, and slabs. One application at Heathrow was for the roof of the new underground station. Griptec connections were also used to create temporary openings that allowed workers and equipment to move freely through the rebar structure and could easily be “closed” using single lengths of rebar with Griptec connections at both ends.

Thanks to its parallel-thread technology, Griptec does not require any specific torque wrenching and can be verified through simple visual inspection, offering a significant advantage in simplifying the project schedule and maximizing operational productivity.
