ONE Limassol Tower is a commercial building and a new landmark of Limassol, Cyprus. The project aims to position the island on the international luxury property market, enhancing the attractiveness of the country for foreign investment by offering world-class residence, amenities and services. This will also boost Cyprus’ economy, while increasing local employment opportunities.

At 170 meters above ground with 33 storeys in total, the ONE Limassol Tower is the tallest seafront residential project in Europe. The building will host 83 luxurious apartments, including a three-storey penthouse.

For the reinforcement of this landmark building, Dextra delivered its rebar couplers and bar-end preparation machine sets to the contractor J&P and ACC JV, which is a joint-venture between Joannou & Paraskevaides Group (J&P) and Arabian Construction Company (ACC).

More than 60,000 Bartec couplers were used for rebar splicing in rafts and vertical parts of the building.

The completion of this iconic project is scheduled in 2019.

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

The main construction comprises composite concrete and steel, while the cladding on the fins and glass façades is predominantly glass-reinforced concrete.

Dextra took part in reinforcing the concrete structure of the building by providing these solutions:

Act One | Act Two Tower is a premium residential project in the Opera District of Downtown Dubai.

The project consists of two towers called Act One (52 stories) and Act Two (46 stories).

With their prime location, these residential towers offer views of the Dubai Fountain and the Burj Khalifa and they are few minutes away from Dubai Metro and from major attractions like the Dubai Mall and the Souk al Bahar.

For this exceptional residential project, Dextra was entrusted with the reinforcement of the buildings’ structures, including raft foundations, columns, slabs and construction joints.

150,000 Bartec rebar couplers along with rebar preparation machines were delivered to the construction site.

Bartec rebar couplers help speed up the construction with a faster and more convenient way of connecting rebars than the traditional rebar lapping method.

The thread on the rebar can be extended from a half-coupler to a full coupler length, allowing to perform the connection without any bar rotation.

The project is scheduled to be completed in November 2020.

This new 4-story retail center has been designed to have the smallest carbon footprint possible, with an innovative optimization of the air-condition load.

It is located in Jebel Ali, Dubai, UAE with an 81,000 sqm floor area and a leasable area for over 100 retail and concept stores.

Dextra Groutec couplers contained in the precast panels made the assembly on site easy and fast. More than 1,100 units of Groutec L 25 and 32mm were delivered.

Groutec is a high-performance precast connection solution which is convenient to set up and fast to install on site by grout injection. It supports the connection of precast concrete columns, panels and beams.

The first phase of the retail center is set for completion in 2019. The second phase will include a residential area to create a new lifestyle hub in Dubai.

The Floresta Gardens project involves construction of the towers inside The Pearl Qatar.

The project consists with the construction of mid-rise residential towers and villas within three gated villa communities, including a 2,452-square meter retail center. The precinct has a gross floor space of 267,471 square meters, 145,967 square meters of developable land, and 5,000 residential units.

In the precast construction of the towers, Dextra Groutec played a significant role. Over 30,000 Groutec L couplers in sizes 20 mm to 40 mm were inserted inside columns for vertical connections on the construction site.

Groutec precast coupler is an innovative solution for fast and easy connection of precast concrete elements. It is widely used in residential and commercial construction projects around the world.

Galaxy Towers, developed by Aurobindo, is a project to construct 24-storey precast office building in Hyderabad, India.

It will be the tallest office tower in India built with precast technology.

The building comprises of 4 basement floors and 24 upper stories with 1.9 million sq. ft. leasable area, which will include health clubs, food courts, cafés, a business center, ample car parking and a waiting lounge.

The project is expected to be built in half the time of a comparable conventional cast-in-situ construction, illustrating how the precast technology has gained ground thanks to its efficiency.

For this special project, Dextra supplied a critical part of the precast structure: Groutec coupler, a half-grouted sleeve designed for the connection of precast elements and manufactured in compliance with Eurocode 2, BS 8110, ACI 318, IBC, AASHTO & IS 16172.

By installing Groutec couplers into the precast columns and walls at the precast factory, the fast and safe connection of walls or columns is achieved by injecting cementitious non-shrink grout through the inlet into the sleeves at site. 102,000 Groutec couplers have been delivered for this project.

The Galaxy Towers is anticipated to be completed in 2020.

किंग सलमान एनर्जी पार्क (स्पार्क) एक नई औद्योगिक शहर परियोजना है जिसका निर्माण सऊदी अरब के पूर्वी प्रांत दम्मम और अल-अहसा के बीच किया जा रहा है।

परियोजना का लक्ष्य अन्वेषण, उत्पादन, रिफाइनिंग, पेट्रोकेमिकल, पारंपरिक बिजली, जल उत्पादन और उपचार और ड्रिलिंग सहित देश के ऊर्जा संबंधित उत्पादों और सेवाओं की बढ़ती मांग का जवाब देना है।

2021 में पहले चरण के पूरा होने तक, स्पार्क को 5 मुख्य क्षेत्रों में विभाजित किया जाएगा जो औद्योगिक क्षेत्र, शुष्क बंदरगाह और रसद क्षेत्र, व्यापार जिला, प्रशिक्षण केंद्र और आवासीय परिसर और वाणिज्यिक गतिविधियां हैं।

डेक्सट्रा ने इमारतों और फुटपाथों के लिए लगभग 700,000 ASTEC GFRP (ग्लास फाइबर रीइन्फोर्स्ड पॉलिमर) सरिया, मॉडल GR45P सीधे और झुकने वाले आकार में आपूर्ति की।

ASTEC GFRP GR45P रीबार ASTM 7205 - 06 के अनुसार 45GPa पर मापांक लोच और तन्य शक्ति प्रदान करता है। इसका उपयोग नए और मौजूदा दोनों निर्माणों के लिए मजबूत सामग्री के रूप में किया जा सकता है।

2035 में तीसरे चरण के अपेक्षित पूरा होने पर, यह 50 वर्ग किलोमीटर पर कब्जा कर लेगा और 100,000 नौकरियां पैदा होने का अनुमान है।
