Chaussée traversant la baie de Koweït (chaussée Jaber)
The Main Causeway across the Kuwait Bay is a 36-km-long project currently being built north of Kuwait City. It will ultimately be connected to Doha Link, another sea link project west of Kuwait City, which will connect the Jaber Causeway sea link, one of the largest civil engineering projects ever built in the Middle East.
The main causeway across Kuwait Bay stretches north of Kuwait City. It is expected that the link will greatly contribute to the development of the northern part of Kuwait. To achieve that, the Causeway will literally cut across Kuwait Bay with a 27-km sea link.
Pylônes et poutres de pont
For the visible part of the sea link, Dextra worked with contractor Hyundai to offer high-tensile post-tensioning bar solutions.
Création Smooth PT Bar Des grades 835/1050 ont été utilisés tout au long de la liaison maritime pour relier les poutres préfabriquées entre elles.
For part of the sea link, which is topped by a metallic cable-stayed structure. Higher performance bars in Grade 1050/1200 were used to offer a vertical anchoring point between the pylon and the reinforcement of the pile. PT Bars were delivered with a full corrosion protection accessory set by Dextra so that the bars will resist the marine conditions.
Tubes de diagraphie sonique Crosshole
For the concrete integrity testing of the onshore and offshore foundation piles, Dextra supplied around 400,000 linear meters of Sonitec tubes, which are easy to set up and reconnect without the need for welding, which significantly increases the productivity of the pile assemblies.
Une fois installés, les tubes sont bien en place, supportant sans problème le levage et la manutention de la cage.
