The Yangon’s Landmark Development, also called Yoma Central, is a mixed-used development project located in the center of Yangon, the commercial capital of Myanmar.

This project includes a large retail shopping center, offices towers, hotel and luxury apartments. The whole project wraps around the historic headquarter of the Burma Railway Company, which is being renovated as an hotel of the Peninsula chain.

Dextra delivered its Bewehrungskupplungen and equipment to the contractor join venture BYMA/Taisei (BYMA is a collaboration between Dragages Singapore & Yoma). More than 200,000 Bartec® couplers are being delivered to the site and will be used for rebar splicing from foundations to super structure.

As of end of 2017, this major construction complex marks actually Dextra’s largest ever construction project in Myanmar and the first to receive Bartec® rebar coupler solution. Bartec® system is well fit for Myanmar, as a Type-2 splice it is recommended for large structures in seismic countries such as Myanmar.

For the first phase of the project, Bartec® rebar couplers 20, 25, 28 and 32mm are being used for foundation works in the D-Walls surrounding the area (vertical connections and horizontal slabs reconnections). Couplers are also used in large concrete beams which will support the Peninsula hotel.

The full project, scheduled for completion in 2021, embodies the modern ambitions and rich history of the fast changing country which is Myanmar.
