Le projet d'agrandissement du bâtiment Lai King, créé en 2001 à l'hôpital Princess Margaret de Hong Kong, vise à améliorer les services de soins ambulatoires et à garantir le respect des normes de contrôle des infections et de service dans les établissements de soins de santé modernes.

Le projet comprend la démolition de la structure existante, la construction d'un nouveau bloc d'extension, la rénovation et la rénovation du bâtiment existant, la construction de ponts de liaison reliant le nouveau bloc d'extension et le bâtiment existant, ainsi que des travaux extérieurs et un aménagement paysager.

Dextra is actively involved in the site formation and foundation works, which commenced in August 2021. Our contribution includes supplying Astec GFRP (Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer) soil nails with a diameter of 32 for temporary support during excavation. These soil nails are renowned for their lightweight composition, making them easier to handle and install. This characteristic significantly reduces labor requirements and construction time, thereby allowing for greater productivity on-site.

De plus, le matériau GFRP utilisé dans ces clous de sol présente une résistance élevée à la corrosion, ce qui le distingue des clous de sol en acier traditionnels. Cet attribut garantit la longévité et la durabilité du système de support temporaire, réduisant ainsi le besoin de maintenance et de remplacements coûteux à l'avenir.

The exceptional tensile strength of the GFRP soil nails plays a crucial role in effectively restraining the lateral displacement of the soil, thereby minimizing the risk of ground movement and potential collapse.

Les travaux de construction de l’ensemble du projet devraient être achevés d’ici 2026.

This creates a strong and stable connection that ensures the structural integrity of the building.

L'utilisation de Groutec couplers also provided several other benefits to the Mega Home Chiang Mai construction project. For example, the couplers allowed for the use of smaller diameter reinforcement bars, which reduced the overall weight of the precast columns. This, in turn, reduced the size and weight of the cranes required for installation, making the construction process more efficient.

Groutec couplers also provided a cost-effective solution for the project. They eliminated the need for welding or other costly connection methods, which helped to keep the overall cost of the project within budget.

The successful completion of the Mega Home Chiang Mai project was a testament to the technical expertise and experience of the construction team. By using innovative and proven solutions like Groutec couplers, the team was able to overcome the challenges of the project and deliver a high-quality building that will serve Mega Home customers for many years to come.

The new ultra-low vibration lab at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is currently under construction.

Since the testing equipment cannot be positioned within a 1.5m radius of any magnetic elements, Dextra GFRP rebars were installed in the base slabs and floating slabs as a replacement for steel rebars. A total of 3,000 linear meters of GFRP rebars were delivered.

GFRP rebars allow contractors to replace steel reinforcement with a composite, non-corrosive, and non-metallic alternative. They offer exceptionally high tensile performance while being lightweight—up to eight times the performance-to-weight ratio of steel.
