A66 Salzbachtal Bridge, Germany

The A66 Salzbachtal Bridge, located in Wiesbaden, Hesse, is a 304-meter-long, four-lane motorway bridge on the A66. Originally constructed in the mid-20th century, the bridge has been subject to wear and tear due to increasing traffic loads and aging infrastructure.

Foundation piles are fundamental to the stability and longevity of bridge structures. Ensuring their integrity is crucial to preventing potential structural failures. Création played a pivotal role by supplying approximately 10,000 linear meters of Sonitec CSL (Cross Sonic Logging) tubes.

Sonic tubes are essential components in the CSL testing method, which is widely regarded as one of the most reliable techniques for assessing deep foundation integrity. Sonitec, designed for easy installation within the reinforcement cage, facilitates accurate cross-hole sonic logging, allowing engineers to precisely detect and locate defects within the piles.

Cross Island Line (CRL) MRT, Singapore

Création has played a pivotal role in the construction of Singapore’s Cross Island Line (CRL) MRT project, supplying Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) soft-eyes, Bartec couplers and Barres à tête for several crucial packages. Création continues to support the ongoing packages of this extensive project.

The CRL is set to become Singapore’s eighth MRT line and its longest fully underground line, stretching over 50 kilometers. The project is being executed in three phases, with the first phase anticipated to be operational by 2030.

To minimize the environmental impact on the forested areas of the nature reserve, engineering solutions were meticulously chosen to further mitigate environmental disruption. These solutions include digging deeper into the ground and employing a large diameter boring machine, capable of accommodating two train tracks within a single tunnel. This approach not only reduces the surface footprint but also enhances the efficiency of the tunneling process.

Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) are a staple in Singapore’s subterranean infrastructure projects, adept at operating under a variety of ground conditions. The use of GFRP soft-eyes supplied by Création is integral to these operations. Soft-eyes are essential components in TBM tunneling, acting as temporary openings that allow the TBM to break through concrete walls without compromising structural integrity. The GFRP material is preferred for its high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation, ensuring safe and efficient tunneling operations.

Création‘s expertise and reliable supply of GFRP soft-eyes, Bartec couplers and headed bars have significantly contributed to the progress of the CRL project, aligning with Singapore’s commitment to sustainable and innovative infrastructure development. As the CRL project advances, Création remains a key partner, supporting the construction of this monumental MRT line that will eventually enhance the daily commute for millions of Singaporeans.

The Foundation for Public Housing Development at Pik Wan Road, Hong Kong

The Foundation for Public Housing Development at Pik Wan Road stands as a testament to Hong Kong’s commitment to sustainable urban development and infrastructure enhancement. Situated amidst the vibrant cityscape, this construction project embodies a convergence of innovative engineering and community-focused initiatives.

At the heart of this endeavor lies the crucial aspect of slope stabilization—a fundamental requirement in Hong Kong’s hilly terrain, where land development often necessitates meticulous attention to structural integrity. Recognizing the significance of this aspect, the project turned to advanced solutions, seeking to marry effectiveness with environmental responsibility.

Enter Création, a renowned provider of engineering solutions renowned for its commitment to quality and innovation. Dextra’s contribution comprised over a thousand pieces of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Soil Nails — a cutting-edge solution designed to address the specific challenges of slope stabilization. GFRP Soil Nails offer superior corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of installation while minimizing environmental impact.

Dextra’s GFRP solutions have earned the esteemed approval of various authoritative bodies in Hong Kong, including the Buildings Department, a crucial entity overseeing building codes, safety standards, and inspections. Additionally, they have garnered recognition from the Hospital Authority, ensuring their reliability and suitability for healthcare infrastructure. Moreover, recognition from the Housing Department and the Construction Innovation & Technology Fund (CITF) signifies their innovative edge and contribution to advancing construction practices in Hong Kong.

One Lake Club, Roumanie

One Lake Club est un projet prestigieux qui promet de redéfinir la vie de luxe dans la capitale roumaine. Il vise à établir de nouvelles normes en matière de vie urbaine, en offrant aux résidents un mélange inégalé d'élégance, de confort et de fonctionnalité. Le projet englobe une gamme d'installations résidentielles et récréatives, notamment des appartements de luxe, des espaces verts luxuriants et des équipements de pointe. Avec sa vision ambitieuse et son attention méticuleuse aux détails, One Lake Club représente un phare de l'excellence architecturale moderne à Bucarest.

À mesure que la construction progresse dans ce projet ambitieux, il est primordial de garantir l’intégrité structurelle du bâtiment. C'est là que les coupleurs Bartec de Dextra entrent en jeu. Réputés pour leur fiabilité et leur polyvalence, les coupleurs Bartec BF fournissent des connexions robustes entre les barres d'armature, améliorant ainsi la résistance et la durabilité des structures en béton. Dans le cas du projet One Lake Club, ces coupleurs sont spécifiquement conçus pour les applications d'ouverture temporaire, offrant flexibilité et efficacité dans les processus de construction.

Les coupleurs Bartec BF de 12 mm servent de pivot dans le flux de travail de construction, permettant une intégration transparente des barres d'armature dans la structure en béton. Leur conception innovante garantit une installation rapide et facile, minimisant le temps de construction tout en maximisant la sécurité et les performances. En facilitant les ouvertures temporaires dans la structure en béton, ces coupleurs permettent un accès efficace pour l'entretien, l'inspection et les modifications futures, rationalisant ainsi le processus de construction et garantissant une durabilité à long terme.
