The Lucknow Metro project is built to serve the growing population of Uttar Pradesh, North India, as well as to serve the areas that are not connected by the existing rail system. The 35km rail system comprises 22 stations, of which 19 will be elevated.

The first phase of the project consists construction of 2 rail lines (North- South and East-West corridor), connecting the four corners of Lucknow by running through the heart of the city. Being implemented by Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation (LMRC), the Phase 1 comprises the construction of 22.8km long North-South corridor.

The priority section is the 8.5 kilometers linking Transport Nagar to Charbagh.
Once operational, the Lucknow Metro will help ease the traffic in the city, and will also reduce commuters’ travel time.

The 37km-long Light Rail Transit Line 3 (LRT3) is a light rail line under development in Malaysia. It includes a 35km viaduct and a 2km underground tunnel which will link Bandar Utama with Johan Setia in Klang.

Developed in line with the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley (GKL/KV) Land Public Transport Masterplan, LRT3 will play a strategic part in extending rail connectivity to the Western Corridor of GKL/KV.

Dextra provided cuttable Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) soft-eye solutions, installed in diaphragm walls of escape shafts, in order to facilitate the underground tunnel breakthrough by the Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM).

The LRT3 project is expected to serve 2-million people across the alignment by improving connectivity, alleviating traffic congestion and stimulating economic growth along the Western Corridor of Klang Valley, from Klang to Petaling Jaya.

The construction is scheduled for completion by February 2024.

Panama Metro Line 3 is a 34km-long monorail line being developed as part of the Panama metro project. It will be the largest project in the country since the expansion of the Panama Canal.

The line will establish a connection between the province of Panama Oeste and the province of Panama, reducing the average travel time by half, from 90 minutes to 45 minutes. The monorail system will be the first to use Japanese technology in the Americas.

Dextra supplied 260,000 Bartec couplers for the elevated monorail structure’s piling column and precast beam connection.

Sonitec tubes were also used to examine the concrete integrity of bore-piles using the crosshole sonic logging testing method.

Expected to begin operations in mid-2025, the line will benefit more than 500,000 residents of the Panama Oeste province.

The Lima Metro is a rapid transit system in Peru, currently linking Villa El Salvador district in the south of Lima with San Juan de Lurigancho, in the northeast area of the city. The Metro Line 1 started its operation in 2011 with 26 stations, making a total of 34.6 kilometers, the longest metro line in the Americas.

Die Anfänge is proud to contribute to the construction of Metro Line 2 and the initial phase of Line 4, both of which commenced simultaneously in 2016. Line 2, a 27-kilometer fully underground transit route, will seamlessly connect Lima’s Ate district with the Callao region. Meanwhile, the first 8-kilometer segment of Line 4 will serve as a crucial link between Line 2 and the Jorge Chávez International Airport station, enhancing connectivity for commuters and travelers alike.

More than 160,000 Rolltec rebar couplers have been supplied to the Metro construction site to avoid rebar congestion of the traditional overlapping method.

Several types of Rolltec couplers were installed in various parts of the stations’ structures, including standard couplers size #8, #11 and #14, and transition couplers size #8 and #11.

The full line will be operational in 2024.

Etihad Rail ist ein 1.200 Kilometer langes Eisenbahnprojekt, das das erste nationale Güter- und Personenbahnnetz in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten (VAE) bilden wird, die sieben Emirate verbindet und den Handel und die soziale Entwicklung im Land und in den GCC-Ländern fördert.

Das Eisenbahnprojekt soll eine nachhaltige Alternative für den Güter- und Personentransport in den städtischen und ländlichen Gebieten des Emirats sein. Es wird erwartet, dass etwa 16 Millionen Passagiere und 50 Millionen Tonnen Fracht befördert werden. Es wird einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Reduzierung der Emissionen im Straßenverkehr leisten.

Das Etihad Rail-Netzwerk reicht im Westen bis an die Grenzen von Katar und Saudi-Arabien. Der westliche Abschnitt ist über Ghweifat mit Saudi-Arabien verbunden, während der östliche Abschnitt über Al Ain mit Oman verbunden ist. Die Eisenbahnlinie verbindet Abu Dhabi, Sharjah und Dubai und verläuft quer durch das Emirat. Anschließend geht es weiter in die nördlichen Emirate und nach Fujairah.

Der Ausbau des Schienennetzes erfolgt in 3 Etappen. Die erste Phase des 2016 eröffneten Eisenbahnnetzes ist eine 266 Kilometer lange westliche Strecke zwischen Al Ruwais und Shah. Es verbindet Ruwais und Habshan und dann Habshan und Shah.

Die zweite Phase verbindet Abu Dhabi mit Dubai. Es ist auch mit den Häfen Jebel Ali, Musaffah und Khalifa verbunden. In der dritten Phase geht es um die Anbindung der nördlichen Emirate. Die Fertigstellung der zweiten und dritten Phase ist für 2024 geplant.

Dextra liefert derzeit verschiedene technische Lösungen für die zweite Phase des Schienennetzbaus, zu der der Bau einer 200 km langen Hauptstrecke in Abu Dhabi und einer 40 km langen Nebenstrecke zum Hafen Khalifa, einer 78 km langen Hauptstrecke in Dubai und einer 20 km langen Nebenstrecke nach Jebel gehört Ali-Hafen, eine 98 km lange Hauptstrecke von Sharjah nach Fujairah und eine 29 km lange Nebenstrecke nach Tawyeen sowie zugehörige Einrichtungen.

Diese Lösungen wurden auf die Baustelle des Eisenbahntunnels geliefert.

The Circle Line (CCL) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line in Singapore. The 35km, 30-station line runs from Dhoby Ghaut to Marina Bay in the Central Area to HarbourFront.

Es handelt sich um eine der längsten fahrerlosen Schnellverkehrslinien der Welt.

In 2013, the Circle Line stage 6 was announced, a 4km extension to finally close the circle of the CCL by connecting HarbourFront station to Marina Bay station.

Drei weitere Stationen befinden sich im Bau und werden voraussichtlich im Jahr 2025 in Betrieb gehen.

Well-known expertise and quality in concrete reinforcement solutions were necessary to tackle this project, and Dextra’s Bartec couplers were chosen for several parts of the Circle Line structure, including starter bars, slabs, and column joints.

Bis zum Ende des Projekts werden rund 200.000 Kupplungen vor Ort geliefert.

Darüber hinaus, Die Anfänge provided 3,000m of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebars, that can boast some key benefits with respect to metal rebars: a lighter weight, no risk of corrosion, and a lower susceptibility to attract lightning strikes.

On top of that, Die Anfänge was entrusted with the reinforcement of the concrete structure of the tunnels: 8 Astec Soft-Eyes were used to facilitate the penetration of the Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) through diaphragm walls, thanks to their innovative cuttable GFRP structure.

The Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works Relocation project was aimed to relocate the Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works (STW) in Sha Tin, Hong Kong, which is currently located at the mouth of the Shing Mun River, to the cavern site at Nui Po Shan of A Kung Kok on the opposite bank, freeing up the existing site for uses beneficial to people’s livelihood and improving the local living environment.

The future Sha Tin Cavern STW will be the largest of its kind in Hong Kong, occupying 14 hectares of land. It will have the same treatment capacity as the current site, but will use advanced sewage treatment technology to meet local population demands and improve services for residents.

For the tunneling works, Dextra has supplied around 800 pieces of GEOTEC™ GFRP rock-bolts for the tunnel’s temporary supporting.

GEOTEC™ GFRP rock-bolts are made of cut-able glass fiber reinforced polymers, making them perfect for face bolting or any other tunneling and mining application where further excavation is required.
