SPARK Dry Port and Logistics Zone, Saudi Arabia
Die Entwicklung des Trockenhafens im King Salman Energy Park (SPARK) in Saudi-Arabien wird die Logistiklandschaft in der Ostprovinz revolutionieren. Dieses ehrgeizige Projekt, das als wichtige Verbindung zwischen Dammam und al-Hasa dient, soll die Zolldienstleistungen erheblich verbessern und gleichzeitig die Ziele des Wirtschaftswachstums und die Initiativen von Aramco innerhalb des SPARK-Industriekomplexes unterstützen.
A noteworthy aspect of this groundbreaking venture is the extensive use of Dextra’s 2.4 million linear meters of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebar for slab-on-grade applications in areas subject to heavy loads.
GFRP rebar is a composite material made by reinforcing a polymer matrix with high-strength glass fibers. Unlike conventional steel rebar, which is susceptible to corrosion when exposed to moisture and aggressive chemicals, GFRP rebar is inherently corrosion resistant. This key attribute makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of construction applications, especially in harsh environments where traditional steel rebar would quickly deteriorate.
