Der Ciel Tower ist ein 82-stöckiges Hochhaus, das derzeit in der Dubai Marina entsteht. Mit einer Gesamthöhe von 365 Metern wird es nach seiner Fertigstellung im Jahr 2025 das höchste reine Hotelgebäude der Welt sein.

Der Turm liegt im Herzen der Dubai Marina, in der Nähe beliebter Attraktionen wie dem Marina Walk und der Marina Mall, einem großen Einkaufs- und Unterhaltungskomplex. Er wird 1.042 Luxussuiten sowie eine Dachterrasse mit Poolbar, Restaurant und Aussichtsplattform beherbergen.

Der architektonische Entwurf ist stark vom Konzept des vertikalen Wohnens inspiriert und maximiert den Panoramablick auf Palm Jumeirah, Bluewaters Island, den Hafen von Dubai und den Arabischen Golf.

Dextra hat 180.000 Bartec Kupplungen für kritische Strukturverbindungen, einschließlich Platten, Stützen zu Balken, Platten zu Kernwände, Kernwände, und Starterstangen, die die Festigkeit und Stabilität des Gebäudes erhöhen.

Der Ciel Tower soll zu einem Wahrzeichen mit Kultcharakter werden und Dubais Ruf als eines der weltweit führenden Reiseziele weiter festigen.

Orbit is a 25-storey office building strategically located in the heart of Hyderabad’s IT Hub, constructed using precast technology. It is one of the tallest commercial buildings in India built with this method.

Constructed by Aurobindo Realty, the Orbit building was honored with the “Best Office Architecture India” award by the International Property Awards – Asia Pacific Property Awards 2018.

Designed with precast technology, the building is also proposed for LEED v4 Gold Certification from USGBC, demonstrating its commitment to environmental sustainability and energy efficiency.

Dextra's Groutec couplers played a key role in precast element connections. Approximately 60,000 couplers were installed in precast elements at the precast factory before being transported to the construction site for grout connections.

With the growing demand for modular buildings worldwide—especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, where healthcare and quarantine facilities were urgently needed—Groutec couplers have become a widely adopted solution. They are designed and manufactured in compliance with Eurocode 2, BS 8110, ACI 318, IBC, and AASHTO standards.

Two IFC is a landmark skyscraper in Hong Kong, located in West Kowloon. The 412-meter-high commercial building features 88 floors and is the second tallest building in Hong Kong, following the ICC Tower.

Vertical reinforcement is a crucial structural feature for buildings of this height. Consultant ARUP and contractors E-Man-Sanfield JV selected Dextra for the splicing of reinforcement throughout the building.

For this project, Dextra supplied more than 200,000 Bartec rebar couplers, which were primarily used for vertical connections, especially in all columns.

Additionally, rebar couplers provided connection points for second-phase rebar reconnection, typically between columns and slabs and columns and beams. To achieve this, rebar couplers were aligned horizontally and cast in concrete, allowing for reconnection at a later stage by screwing in the second-phase rebar.

Bartec is the preferred reinforcement splicing solution for contractors in Hong Kong, as it is recommended in the Hong Kong Building Material List. Dextra also operates its own rebar threading workshop in Hong Kong, providing rebar preparation services for its customers.
