ICONSIAM, located on the right bank of the Chao Phraya River in western Bangkok, is a multipurpose commercial and residential complex consisting of two high-rise buildings and a shopping mall. This massive development aims to restore the glamour of the Chao Phraya River’s waterfront.

The two towers are expected to reach heights of 280 meters (SuperLux Tower) and 315 meters (Magnolia Tower), respectively. Upon completion, Magnolia Tower will surpass King Power Mahanakhon Tower, which has been Thailand’s tallest building since 2015.

Dextra is supplying Thai-Obayashi (the contractor for the shopping mall structure) and Italian-Thai (the contractor for both towers) with its Bartec rebar splicing solution.

To ensure maximum efficiency in thread production, Dextra engineers have conducted operator training and provided on-site preventive maintenance.

Au total, plus de 800 000 Bartec rebar couplers and 20,000 Barres à tête are being used in the foundations and superstructure for the following applications:

Chevilles en forme de L (connexions mur-dalle)

This is a typical application used in foundation diaphragm walls (D-Walls) to avoid protruding rebar. It is also used in the superstructure, allowing the sliding formwork to climb without obstruction.

Substitution of hooked bars with Headed Bars

When the wall reinforcement is especially congested, the use of Barres à tête (also called end anchors) allows for anchoring the reinforcement in the wall without the need for hooks.

Assemblage à double extrémité dans les murs de refend

Cette solution permet de créer une continuité à l'intérieur de la colonne ou du mur en reliant deux dalles ou poutres horizontales.

Coupleurs soudés pour structures composites

Sometimes, it is necessary to start reinforcement from the steel structure. In such cases, weldable couplers are the ideal solution. Made of low-carbon steel, they can be easily welded and allow connection to a threaded rebar.
