Mumbai Trans Harbour Link

Mumbai Trans Harbour Link

The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) is a 22 km-long road bridge in India, connecting the Mumbai Metropolitan Region with its satellite city, Navi Mumbai.

Also known as the Sewri-Nhava Sheva Trans Harbour Link, the bridge begins in Sewri, South Mumbai, crosses the Thane Creek via a 16.5 km-long bridge, and terminates in Chirle village, near Nhava Sheva.

This colossal project features a 6-lane highway, 27 meters wide, along with two emergency exit lanes. Designed to accommodate approximately 70,000 vehicles per day, the bridge is expected to significantly reduce the notorious traffic congestion in the Greater Mumbai area.

Originally envisioned more than 35 years ago, actual construction only began in 2018. Once completed, it will be India’s longest sea bridge.

 

Dextra’s Contribution

Dextra played a key role in this project by supplying over 30,000 Sonitec sonic tubes. These tubes facilitate Cross Sonic Logging (CSL) testing, a method used to assess the structural integrity and homogeneity of concrete within barrette piles.

With a conveniently enlarged bell-mouth design, Sonitec tubes enable the seamless connection of two tubes, making installation quick and efficient within reinforcement cages.

 

CCTV Headquarters, China

CCTV Headquarters, China

The CCTV Headquarters building is a landmark tower located in the Central Business District of Beijing. The tower houses the operations of China Central Television (CCTV) and has been one of the architectural landmarks of the Chinese capital since its completion in 2012.

For this project, Dextra was involved in providing China State Construction Engineering Corporation with an anchoring solution for the columns that ultimately support the building’s bridge-like complex architecture.

Anchoring the structure was particularly challenging due to the building’s height (234 meters) and its distinctive, complex shape. Additionally, since the building is located in a seismic zone, it needed to be constructed to withstand additional loads.

Dextra supplied high-tensile post-tensioning bar systems in large diameters. The post-tensioned system was designed to lock the metallic structure at the base of the mega columns and anchor them into a heavily reinforced mat.

The large PT systems (bars and plates) were equipped with additional corrosion protection accessories, including tubes and injection ports, allowing for grout sealing.

Westtor-Tunnel

Westtor-Tunnel

Das West Gate Tunnel-Projekt wird eine wichtige Alternative zur West Gate Bridge darstellen, eine dringend benötigte zweite Flussüberquerung ermöglichen, schnellere und sicherere Fahrten ermöglichen und Tausende von Lastwagen aus Wohnstraßen entfernen.

Das Projekt wird den West Gate Freeway in Yarraville über zwei Tunnel unter Yarraville und eine erhöhte Footscray Road mit dem Hafen von Melbourne und CityLink in den Docklands verbinden.

Die Hochstraße umfasst 300 Pfähle unterschiedlicher Höhe. Die Pfähle wurden in mehreren Segmenten baustellennah vorgefertigt. Vertikale Vorspannstäbe verbinden alle Segmente jedes Pfahls.

Diese Pfahlkonstruktionsmethode wird immer häufiger verwendet, erfordert jedoch eine einwandfreie Vorbereitung, sowohl hinsichtlich der Methodenbeschreibung als auch der Produktdefinition. Jedes Detail ist für den Erfolg der Installation von entscheidender Bedeutung.

Dextra belieferte Freyssinet mit mehr als 1.000 Tonnen Freyssibar+-Systemen der Güteklasse 930/1080 MPa, mit Nenndurchmessern von 72 mm und 55 mm sowie 7.500 Verankerungen für den vertikalen dauerhaften Einsatz.

Durch eine enge Zusammenarbeit zwischen DEXTRA, dem Freyssinet-Backoffice (technische Abteilung und Freyssinet-Produktunternehmen) und den Mitarbeitern auf der Baustelle (Freyssinet Major Project und Freyssinet Australia) wurde das Vorspannsystem perfekt an die Anforderungen des Projekts angepasst.

Die Stabdurchmesser, die Stahlsorte und das Design der Verankerungen wurden durch Qualifizierungstests gemäß australischen Standards validiert und demonstrierten die Leistung des Systems.

Dieses Stangensystem kann zum Spannen von Pfosten, vorgespannten Bodenankern und für alle Anwendungen verwendet werden, bei denen temporäre oder dauerhafte Zugstangen, Hebe-, Aufhängungs-, vorgespannte Verbindungen usw. beteiligt sind.

Der Bau des Großprojekts begann im Januar 2018.

Mecca Mataf Expansion, Saudi Arabia

Mecca Mataf Expansion, Saudi Arabia

Mataf is the area surrounding the Kaaba, the center of the holiest mosque in Islam, located within the Grand Mosque of Mecca. It is where the Tawaf, the counterclockwise circumambulation around the Kaaba, takes place.

The Mataf expansion is a large-scale project aimed at adding 1,300,000 sqm to the existing 400,000 sqm of space. The renovation will feature a new basement and three additional floors, increasing capacity for hundreds of thousands of additional worshippers.

For this significant project, Dextra Middle East has been involved in supplying rebar couplers and anchor solutions.

Mega Columns

For the mega columns, Dextra provided contractors with a solution to connect cages vertically while accommodating potential misalignment. This was achieved using Bartec caging assemblies, which allow for a misalignment adjustment equivalent to one bar diameter.

In addition to enabling reconnection, the Bartec caging assemblies were also used to temporarily lock the large column template (visible in red in photos) to ensure the correct setup of column reinforcement.

Mega Column Footing

Die Anfänge Bartec Endanker, which use the same type of threads as the couplers, were also installed at the footing of the mega columns to address reinforcement congestion.

The anchors, compact and easy to install, can be set on bars during the final stage of reinforcement installation. In this project, the anchors were installed from the top of the raft onto the vertical bars. More than 100,000 Endanker were used in this type of application, appearing as X-shaped reinforcement at the column footing.

Column-to-Beam Connections

For more standard applications, Bartec Koppler were also used to create horizontal connections between the columns and beams.
