The tallest Préfabriqué tower in India
Developed by Aurobindo, Galaxy Towers is a 24-storey Préfabriqué 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 Préfabriqué technology has gained ground thanks to its efficiency.
Dextra supplied a critical part of the Préfabriqué structure of this special building: the Groutec coupler, a half-grouted sleeve designed for the connection of Préfabriqué elements.
By installing Groutec couplers into the Préfabriqué columns and walls at the Préfabriqué factory, the fast and safe connection of walls or columns is achieved by injecting cementitious Mortier sans retrait 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 Préfabriqué 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.
