The new headquarters building of the National Bank of Kuwait is a 300m-tall tower with a total floor area of 127,000m². Its design, inspired by pearl shells, is located in the heart of Kuwait City’s financial district.

The main structure consists of संयोजन concrete and steel, while the cladding on the fins and façades is predominantly glass-reinforced concrete.

Dextra contributed to reinforcing the building’s concrete structure by providing the following solutions:

• 100,000 बार्टेक कप्लर्स were installed for column मजबूतीकरण, construction जोड़ों in the raft, and slab/beam-to-core wall connections.
• 35,000 शीर्ष पट्टियाँ acted as shear studs in the raft.
• 1,500 यूनिटेक बोल्टेड कप्लर्स were used to extend existing reinforcing bars that were either unthreaded or too short for lapping. This convenient solution allows for rebar connections using a simple pneumatic wrench on-site, eliminating the need for rebar preparation.
