Bar systems for liquid gas tanks

In the United Arab Emirates, Dextra recently delivered a new Oil and Gas project. Dextra tension rods have been used for the support of structure supporting very large liquid gas tanks.

For this application, Dextra engineered, manufactured and delivered bar assemblies based on Carbon Steel bars Gr.355 of diameter Ø120mm. Each barra de tensión system is composed of two segments spliced at the lower half of the assembly. The system is mounted onto gusset plates thanks to their fork ends, which can be connected to the structure in just a few minutes by simply sliding in a pin in the middle of the fork.

For length adjustment and tightening, turnbuckes, positionned at the lower half of each tendon, are simply rotated to bring bar segments closer to each other and tension the overall system.

Deliveries for Riyadh Metro stations

riyadh metro

El Metro de Riad es un enorme proyecto de sistema de transporte urbano que se está construyendo en Riad, Arabia Saudita. El proyecto contará con 85 estaciones, construidas a lo largo de 6 líneas de transporte, para una longitud ferroviaria total de 176 kilómetros. Se espera que el sistema atienda al menos a 1 millón de pasajeros diariamente en su inauguración en 2018.

For this large infrastructure project, Dextra Middle East has been involved on various stations and packages.

Trabajos de excavación

Before proceeding with general construction works, during early excavation phase, it is required to anchor retaining walls back into the stable ground in order to prevent any wall displacement. This will allow to keep excavating in a safe environment.

For that purpose, Dextra supplied steel ground anchors installed through retaining wall. Each system is based on a high-tensile fully threaded bar, coming with nut and plate, and grouted to provide bonding with the soil.

Acopladores de barras de refuerzo Bartec were supplied for the works in the stations. Couplers were used for slabs, column and wall connections. A typicall application on this project is to cast rebar couplers in the concrete with reinforcement, and then proceed with second phase bar connection at a later stage.

Unitec bolted couplers can have also been use on various parts of the project. Typically Unitec is used when overlap is planned but lapping length appear to be too short to perform a safe splice. In that case Unitec provides a convenient and full performance connection.

BITEC tension bars installation now complete!

Dextra supplied contractor Italian-Thai with Barras de tensión to support the roof structure of the expansion of BITEC, a leading exhibition and convention center in central Bangkok. Installation has successfully be completed in 2016!

In total, Dextra delivered 298 assemblies in various diameters, each composed of multiple bars connected with couplers and turnbuckles and anchored to the structure with fork ends, with total assembly lengths in several cases exceeding 50 meters long (average 33 meters).

Para estructuras tan grandes, Barras de tensión offer a number of advantages compared to other “tensioning” solutions: lower elongation under loads, lower post tensioning forces required, better resistance to corrosion, reduced long terms relaxation and reduced maintenance and surveillance costs.

Dextra couplers on recent metro projects in France

In Paris, the expansion of Line 14 is part of the Grand Paris Express urban transportation plan. The fast subway line’s expansion will soon cut through Paris to go all the way North to Saint Ouen. Dextra supplied more than 70,000 Fortec couplers used in the stations of Orsay and Pont Cardinet. 

In Rennes, Western France, Dextra is successfully delivering Fortec and Rolltec rebar couplers in all four packages constituting makingthe 15 stations and 12.6 kilometers (part elevated, part underground) of the new Line B of the Rennes subway network. Couplers are used in various locations such as retrieval shaft, stations and trenches between stations.

Grand Paris Express: High Performance Composite Anchors Installed!

ASTEC Active Anchors have been installed by Franki Foundations & Atlas Foundations for stabilizing excavation works of the Bagneux station (Metro M4 extension and future M15), in the North of Paris. The solution has been approved for this project by engineering consulting firm SYSTRA. 

ASTEC Active Anchors are the preferred solution for subway stations works as Tunnel Boring Machine and standard earth-moving equipment can simply cut anchors’ FRP tendons at any stage, removing all needs of unreliable anchors pull out. 

After numerous successful projects in the Middle East, this was the first time ASTEC Active Anchors were installed in Europe.
