Dextra’s Quarterly Newsletter: Connection #29

The condominium, which is located near the Chaopraya river on Rama 3 road in Bangkok, Thailand, contains 484 units.

Grouted mechanical sleeves were used to join the precast elements, and Groutec couplers, which were inserted inside the shear wall and bearing wall, played an essential role to ensure the reinforcement continuity with dry joints.

The half-grouted mechanism of Groutec L and S sleeves, which feature a threaded end on one side, ensured accuracy and reduced mistakes throughout the grouting process,” stated Mr. Janeboon Leepipatnavit, Project Director of Taveeporn Technology Co., Ltd., the project’s contractor.

The Key Rama 3 – precast wall installation
The Key Rama 3 – precast walls
The construction required fewer workers and supplies such as rebars and concrete, resulting in a shorter construction period and less noise and waste.

Groutec F IAPMO certified!

Groutec F precast couplers have been successfully certified with IAPMO (International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials) Standards, following the previous certification of Groutec L.

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.

The West Gate Tunnel is a four kilometer toll road in Melbourne, Australia that will link the West Gate Freeway with the Port of Melbourne and CityLink via twin tunnels, a bridge and an elevated road section.

The viaduct is being built on 300 post-tensioned concrete piers of varying heights. For each pier, vertical post-tensioning bars are connected to a dead anchorage embedded in the foundation of the pile.

Dextra was in charge of the fabrication of more than 1,000 tons of such bars, grade 1080, with nominal diameters of 72mm and 55mm, and 7,500 anchorages, installed on site by our partner, Freyssinet Australia.

La torre prefabricada más alta de la India

Developed by Aurobindo, Galaxy Towers is a 24-storey precast office building in Hyderabad, India.

The project is expected to be built in half the time of a comparable conventional cast-in-situ construction, illustrating how the precast technology has gained ground thanks to its efficiency.

Dextra supplied a critical part of the precast structure of this special building: the Groutec coupler, a half-grouted sleeve designed for the connection of precast elements.

By installing Groutec couplers into the precast columns and walls at the precast factory, the fast and safe connection of walls or columns is achieved by injecting cementitious non-shrink grout into the sleeves at site.

More than 100,000 Groutec couplers have been delivered.

Upon completion, it will be the tallest office tower in India built with precast technology.

Dextra America launches US-made Sonitec CSL tubes

Dextra America has launched a US-made “push fit” designed sonic tube system for Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL) testing of concrete. Sonitec tubes facilitate the integrity testing of foundations and are compliant with ASTM D6760, Buy America and Buy American Acts.

In the USA, Sonitec® comes in two different models:

  • Sonitec Plus is a 2 inches Schedule 40 steel pipe with an enlarged end in a bell mouth shape for instant connection: it makes for quick and easy push-fit installation. It is produced in compliance to AASHTO standard.
  • Sonitec Slim sports a lighter design, with a thinner wall thickness and a diameter of 2 inches, resulting in over 70% weight reduction. It also features the same push-fit design for quick and easy installation.

Both models are tested and qualified in the U.S.A. and withstand pressure exceeding 725 psi.

The relentless worldwide expansion of Unitec

Dextra Group is proud to announce that Unitec is now IAPMO-certified in North America, from bar sizes #4 to #14. Its innovative design is able to fit both grade 60 and grade 80 using the same model as a type 2 coupler solution.

Melbourne Metro project: a showcase of Dextra solutions

 

The Metro Tunnel is a major enhancement to Melbourne’s rail network, a multibillion-dollar project comprising the design and construction of twin nine-kilometer tunnels and five underground stations.

The stations are designed based on the architectural character of the local area.

Dextra has been selected as a one-stop solution supplier, thanks to its wide range of products.

The numbers are impressive:

  • 400,000 Griptec rebar couplers
  • 5,300 GFRP Combination Bolts
  • 900 GFRP soil nails
  • 16 ojos suaves

Dextra was able to support and share their expertise on GFRP at design stage and produce the GFRP solutions as per the owner expectation.

Pruebas de rendimiento del acoplador a temperaturas elevadas.

 

El Imperial College de Londres probó los acopladores Dextra Bartec/Fortec y Griptec a temperaturas elevadas para evaluar cómo se comportarían en caso de incendio.

Los aspectos más destacados de la prueba incluyen:

  • Los hallazgos indican que las reglas codificadas actuales se pueden utilizar para evaluar las propiedades de resistencia y rigidez tanto de las barras de refuerzo no empalmadas como de las barras de refuerzo conectadas con acopladores Bartec/Fortec o Griptec.
  • A temperaturas inferiores a 400°C, la resistencia máxima a la tracción y la rigidez de los empalmes Bartec/Fortec y Griptec, así como de las barras de refuerzo no empalmadas, no se ven significativamente afectadas.
  • Cuando se realizaron pruebas de tracción a temperaturas inferiores a 500 °C, la falla generalmente aún se produjo en la barra de refuerzo fuera de la región del acoplador Bartec/Fortec o Griptec.

A grand return to nuclear energy in UK

La central nuclear Hinkley Point C (HPC) es uno de los proyectos más grandes y tecnológicamente más complejos de Europa.

HPC es la primera central nuclear construida en el Reino Unido en una generación, y su construcción requiere una mano de obra altamente cualificada y las mejores soluciones de construcción e ingeniería.

The HPC Project is located in Somerset, South West England, and will consist of two nuclear reactors capable of generating 3.2GW of low-carbon electricity.

The new power station is being constructed in the same area as the existing Hinkley Point A and B stations. The former has ceased operation for quite some time, while the latter is scheduled to begin decommissioning in 2023.

Dextra was entrusted with the supply of mechanical splices for concrete reinforcement for parts of HPC, particularly the reactor’s aircraft impact protective shell.

Se prevé que se necesitarán más de un millón de acopladores Griptec para la construcción de HPC.

Griptec está diseñado para cumplir con las especificaciones de proyecto más estrictas y ha demostrado ser un sistema popular para las centrales nucleares EPR, habiéndose utilizado para la construcción de las centrales eléctricas Flamanville 3, Taishan 1 y Taishan 2.

The seismic performance of Dextra couplers

Ductility is a key performance characteristic for concrete reinforcement used in seismic design.

Dextra collaborated with Imperial College London for the seismic performance tests of reinforced concrete beam-column using 16mm and 20mm Bartec/Fortec and Griptec mechanical splices.

As a result, Bartec/Fortec and Griptec coupler systems provided ductility that allowed the development of ultimate rotation levels that are likely to be adequate for typical seismic design situations.
