Emirates’ Bustanica Vertical Farm, UAE
Emirates’ Bustanica Vertical Farm is the world’s largest vertical farm, a sprawling indoor farming facility spanning an impressive 330,000 square feet. This state-of-the-art facility plays a crucial role in providing fresh, locally sourced in-flight food for Emirates and several other airlines operating at Dubai International Airport. At the core of this groundbreaking project lies meticulous engineering, and one crucial component that contributes to its success is the use of Dextra Groutec couplers for the precast shear wall module connections.
Esta granja vertical emplea tecnología de punta para cultivar una amplia gama de cultivos en un ambiente controlado. Al apilar capas de cultivos verticalmente, la instalación maximiza la utilización del espacio y minimiza el consumo de recursos. El resultado es un sistema sostenible y eficiente que produce productos frescos y de alta calidad durante todo el año, independientemente de las condiciones climáticas externas.
El papel de los acopladores Dextra Groutec
In any construction project, the choice of materials and components is critical to ensuring structural integrity and long-term durability. In the case of the world’s largest vertical farm, the engineers faced the challenge of connecting precast shear wall modules securely. The solution came in the form of Groutec L couplers with a diameter of 25mm.
Groutec couplers are renowned for their reliability and strength in connecting precast concrete elements. These couplers provide a robust and efficient means of joining precast concrete components, ensuring the structural stability of the entire facility. The 25mm diameter was carefully selected to meet the specific requirements of the shear wall modules, offering a seamless connection that enhances the overall resilience of the vertical farm.
Los acopladores Groutec no solo facilitan la integridad estructural de la granja vertical sino que también se alinean con el compromiso del proyecto con la sostenibilidad. La durabilidad y confiabilidad de estos acopladores garantizan que las conexiones resistan la prueba del tiempo, respaldando la longevidad de la instalación y su contribución a la agricultura sostenible.
