Dextra played a pivotal role in the construction of the Central Kowloon Route (CKR) – Central Tunnel project in Hong Kong by supplying over 60,000 Fortec+ couplers. These mechanical rebar couplers were integral in ensuring strong and reliable connections within the road tunnel structure, meeting the stringent requirements for safety and durability.
The CKR, a major infrastructure project aimed at improving traffic flow across Kowloon, required advanced construction techniques, and Dextra’s Fortec+ couplers contributed significantly to the project’s structural integrity and long-term performance. The couplers were used to connect rebars in various locations, such as precast panels, tunnel access points, and driveways.
Fortec+ is a system that includes an additional rebar preparation process, in which the threaded bar end is proof tested by applying a tensile load. This is a non-destructive test, as the load level remains within the elastic zone of the reinforcing bar.
