Emirates’ Bustanica Vertical Farm

The World’s Largest Vertical Farm

Emirates’ Bustanica Vertical Farm is the world’s largest vertical farm, a sprawling indoor farming facility spanning an impressive 330,000 square feet. This state-of-the-art facility plays a crucial role in providing fresh, locally sourced in-flight food for Emirates and several other airlines operating at Dubai International Airport. At the core of this groundbreaking project lies meticulous engineering, and one crucial component that contributes to its success is the use of Dextra Groutec couplers for the precast shear wall module connections.

This vertical farm employs cutting-edge technology to cultivate a diverse range of crops in a controlled environment. By stacking layers of crops vertically, the facility maximizes space utilization while minimizing resource consumption. The result is a sustainable and efficient system that produces fresh, high-quality produce year-round, regardless of external climatic conditions.

The Role of Dextra Groutec Couplers

In any construction project, the choice of materials and components is critical to ensuring structural integrity and long-term durability. In the case of the world’s largest vertical farm, the engineers faced the challenge of connecting precast shear wall modules securely. The solution came in the form of Groutec L couplers with a diameter of 25mm.

Groutec couplers are renowned for their reliability and strength in connecting precast concrete elements. These couplers provide a robust and efficient means of joining precast concrete components, ensuring the structural stability of the entire facility. The 25mm diameter was carefully selected to meet the specific requirements of the shear wall modules, offering a seamless connection that enhances the overall resilience of the vertical farm.

The Groutec couplers not only facilitate the structural integrity of the vertical farm but also align with the project’s commitment to sustainability. The durability and reliability of these couplers ensure that the connections withstand the test of time, supporting the longevity of the facility and its contribution to sustainable agriculture.

AVE Palencia-Santander TGV Forfait 1 (Palencia – Palencia Norte) & Forfait 2 (Palencia Norte – Amusco)

Le projet ferroviaire à grande vitesse AVE Palencia-Santander est un projet d'infrastructure important visant à relier Palencia et Santander en Espagne. Ce projet implique la construction de vastes réseaux ferroviaires, de viaducs et de ponts, soulignant la nécessité d'une fondation solide et résiliente. Reconnaissant l'importance cruciale de garantir l'intégrité structurelle des pieux en béton, la direction du projet a recherché des méthodologies de test avancées.

Dextra a joué un rôle central en garantissant la robustesse des fondations du projet en fournissant des tubes à essai Sonitec Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL). Ces tubes ont joué un rôle déterminant dans la réalisation de tests complets d'intégrité structurelle sur les pieux en béton de l'AVE Palencia-Santander USR Package 1 (Palencia – Palencia Norte) et Package 2 (Palencia Norte – Amusco).

Crosshole Sonic Logging est une méthode de test non destructif largement utilisée pour évaluer la qualité et l’intégrité des pieux en béton. Il s'agit de l'utilisation d'ondes sonores transmises à travers le béton entre deux tubes d'accès, permettant aux ingénieurs d'évaluer les propriétés du matériau et d'identifier les défauts potentiels.

Les tubes Sonitec sont spécialement conçus pour le Crosshole Sonic Logging, garantissant une collecte de données précise et fiable lors des tests d'intégrité structurelle. Ces tubes sont encastrés dans les pieux en béton lors de la construction, offrant ainsi des points d'accès pour la transmission des ondes soniques.

High-Speed Rail Access Channel in Valencia – Phase 1

High Speed Rail Access Channel in Valencia – Phase 1

The High-Speed Rail Access Channel project in Valencia represents a transformative initiative aimed at enhancing connectivity, bolstering economic growth, and fostering sustainable development within the region and beyond. As such, ensuring the reliability and longevity of its infrastructure components is paramount. This is where Dextra steps in with its cutting-edge solutions.

The utilization of Sonitec tubes for crosshole sonic logging (CSL) testing exemplifies Dextra’s commitment to pioneering technologies that optimize construction processes and elevate industry standards. CSL testing is a non-destructive technique utilized to assess the integrity of deep foundation elements such as drilled shafts and bored piles. By transmitting ultrasonic pulses between pairs of probes embedded within concrete piles, CSL testing enables engineers to detect defects, voids, or anomalies that could compromise structural stability.

In the context of the High-Speed Rail Access Channel project, Dextra’s provision of 60,000 linear meters of Sonitec tubes empowers construction teams with a robust methodology for evaluating the quality and integrity of concrete piles. This comprehensive testing approach not only meets regulatory requirements but also instills confidence in the durability and performance of the infrastructure, safeguarding against potential risks and ensuring compliance with stringent safety standards.

The adoption of innovative solutions like Sonitec tubes underscores the evolution of construction practices towards greater efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability. By enabling early detection of potential issues and facilitating timely remediation measures, Dextra’s technology not only enhances project outcomes but also minimizes disruptions, reduces costs, and enhances overall project resilience.

As the High-Speed Rail Access Channel in Valencia moves forward, Dextra’s contribution serves as a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation in shaping the future of infrastructure. By harnessing the latest technologies and best practices, Dextra and its partners are not only building bridges and tunnels but forging pathways to prosperity, connectivity, and sustainable development for generations to come.
