Visakh Refinery Modernisation Project is a brownfield expansion of the Visakh refinery located in Visakhapatnam, India.

The project will expand the refining capacity from 8.3MMTPA (millions of metric tonnes per annum) to 15MMTPA, while enabling the production and distribution of the fuels that comply with Bharat Stage-VI, a new emission standard instituted by the Government of India.

Dextra was involved in the expansion by supplying Unitec bolted couplers for precast beam connections.

Unitec is a bolted splicing system designed for the connection of two rebars with no thread: its screws will lock both bar ends and complete the connection.

The Visakh Refinery Modernisation project is scheduled for completion in 2020.
