Delhi Metro is the largest and busiest rapid transit system in India, serving Delhi and its satellite cities. Phase 3 will add 35 underground stations and 3 new lines.
The total length of the 54 km underground corridors in Phase 3 are more than the total underground sections in phase 1 & 2, making it a challenge for construction in this densely populated city.
Glass Fiber Reinforcing Bars (GFRP) have been used for the numerous “soft-eyes” in diaphragm walls of several stations, which has facilitated the excavation of underground tunnels by TBMs.
Astec™ Active Anchors (AAA) have also been used as temporary stressed anchors in retaining walls in replacement of traditional strutting, this enhancing greatly the accessibility during excavation work.
Moreover, Bartec™ rebar couplers and Dextra post-tensioning bar systems were installed in various parts of the construction.
The UK CARES TA1-A certification is the latest addition for our Unitec repair coupler, which is recognized as a versatile and highly dependable solution for the splicing of in-situ rebars without bar-end preparation.
With this highly demanding 2 Million cycles fatigue certification, Unitec is now certified for use in the construction of bridges, highways, and viaducts in the United Kingdom.

Solscope Exhibition
Dextra took part in Solscope, the reference trade fair on geotechnics, drilling and foundations, which took place in Lyon, France, on June 23-24, 2021.
A full range of ground engineering products were showcased, including Sonitec™ for Cross Sonic Logging testing of deep foundations, steel and GFRP rock-bolts and anchors for tunneling and mining works, and GFRP soft-eyes for underground tunneling.
The exhibition brought together around 2,000 visitors, 150 exhibiting companies and 200 congress participants.
