Urban Deca Homes Ortigas is one of the largest residential projects currently developed in the Philippines, involving the construction of 22 residential buildings with 19,000 one- and two-bedroom units on a 13-hectare property in Metro Manila, Philippines.

The developer is expecting to appeal to the young working families of the surrounding areas of Ortigas, Eastwood and Vertis North, offering affordable accommodations starting from as little as 30,000 USD per unit.

Dextra has supplied almost 150,000 Groutec couplers for 20 of the residential buildings: model S25 and S28 are used to connect rebars in load-bearing shear walls.
This typology of mechanical splices is designed to simplify installation of precast concrete elements such as panels or columns.

At the site, connections are made in few seconds by injecting non-shrink grout into the Groutec’s cavity.

The project is expected to be completed by 2022.

Xiao En Cheras is a 15 story, 3 basement memorial center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, owned by Xiao En Group, a bereavement care provider who offers professional counselling for grieving families and the Malaysian community.

Dextra Sonitec tubes were installed to test the structural integrity and consistency of concrete within the building’s bored piles using crosshole sonic logging (CSL) testing method.

Sonitec is the steel pipe system specifically designed and manufactured for CSL concrete testing. Since 1999, over 50 million feet of Sonitec CSL tubes have been used on over 400 projects around the world.

Xiao En Cheras memorial center will emphasize not only the functions of traditional funeral services, but also integrate memorial activities, cultural and educational activities.

The Reef at King’s Dock, a prestigious waterfront development in Singapore, has introduced an impressive feature to its residential project. Boasting the country’s first-ever 180-metre floating deck, this luxury development offers residents a truly unique experience. With a total of 429 units spread across 10 residential blocks, the development is situated in the Harbourfront precinct, within the Greater Southern Waterfront area.

In the construction of this remarkable project, Dextra provided the new Groutec F couplers, marking the first introduction of this innovative product in Singapore for precast household shelter connections.

Groutec, a mechanical splicing system specifically designed for connecting precast elements, offers superior strength and reliability. The Groutec F model stands out due to its fully grouted system, which enables the connection of two rebars without the need for any threading procedure, setting it apart from the well-known Groutec L and S models.

The incorporation of the Groutec F couplers by Dextra in The Reef at King’s Dock exemplifies the commitment to innovation and quality within the construction industry. This cutting-edge technology not only enhances the structural integrity of the development but also simplifies and streamlines the construction process.

The expansion project of the Lai King Building, established in 2001 at Princess Margaret Hospital in Hong Kong, aims to enhance ambulatory care services and ensure compliance with infection control and service standards in modern healthcare settings.

The project involves the demolition of the existing structure, construction of a new extension block, renovation and refurbishment of the existing building, construction of link bridges connecting the new extension block and the existing building, as well as external works and landscaping.

Dextra is actively involved in the site formation and foundation works, which commenced in August 2021. Our contribution includes supplying Astec GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) soil nails with a diameter of 32 for temporary support during excavation. These soil nails are renowned for their lightweight composition, making them easier to handle and install. This characteristic significantly reduces labor requirements and construction time, thereby allowing for greater productivity on-site.

Furthermore, the GFRP material used in these soil nails exhibits high resistance to corrosion, distinguishing it from traditional steel soil nails. This attribute ensures the longevity and durability of the temporary support system, ultimately reducing the need for costly maintenance and replacements in the future.

The exceptional tensile strength of the GFRP soil nails plays a crucial role in effectively restraining the lateral displacement of the soil, thereby minimizing the risk of ground movement and potential collapse.

The construction works for the entire project are expected to be completed by 2026.

The new Kielpark towers will be a tribute to the current towers. The building is equipped with the most sustainable techniques, such as a collective heating installation that works with a heat pump, solar panels for electricity in the common areas, extra insulation, and low temperature floor heating and precast concrete panels.

Dextra supplied Groutec couplers for precast concrete panel connection to slabs. Precast construction technique contributes to sustainable building practices in significant ways:

Mega Home is a prominent operator of home and construction materials chains in Thailand with more than ten branches across the country. In recent years, Mega Home has been investing in its mega expansion projects, including the construction of its flagship store in Chiang Mai.

Mega Home turned to Groutec couplers. Groutec couplers are a proven solution for connecting precast columns to foundations. They are designed to provide a reliable and durable connection that can withstand the rigors of construction.

Groutec couplers are designed to be easy to install, which made the construction process smoother and faster. The couplers work by connecting the steel reinforcement bars in the precast columns to the reinforcement bars in the foundation. This creates a strong and stable connection that ensures the structural integrity of the building.

The use of Groutec couplers also provided several other benefits to the Mega Home Chiang Mai construction project. For example, the couplers allowed for the use of smaller diameter reinforcement bars, which reduced the overall weight of the precast columns. This, in turn, reduced the size and weight of the cranes required for installation, making the construction process more efficient.

Groutec couplers also provided a cost-effective solution for the project. They eliminated the need for welding or other costly connection methods, which helped to keep the overall cost of the project within budget.

The successful completion of the Mega Home Chiang Mai project was a testament to the technical expertise and experience of the construction team. By using innovative and proven solutions like Groutec couplers, the team was able to overcome the challenges of the project and deliver a high-quality building that will serve Mega Home customers for many years to come.

The Nanyang Technological University (NTU)’s new ultra-low vibration lab is being constructed.

Since the testing equipment cannot be positioned within a 1.5m radius of any magnetic elements, Dextra GFRP rebars were installed in base slabs and floating slabs as a replacement for steel rebars. GFRP rebars were delivered in a quantity of 3,000 linear meters.

GFRP rebars allow contractors to substitute steel rebar with composite non-corrosive and non-metallic reinforcement. It offers very high tensile performances for a light weight: up to 8 times the performance/weight ratio of steel.

सीवर्ल्ड अबू धाबी एक निर्माणाधीन समुद्री जीवन थीम पार्क और पशु अनुसंधान, बचाव और पुनर्वास केंद्र है, जिसे संयुक्त अरब अमीरात के अबू धाबी में यस द्वीप पर 2023 में खोलने की योजना है।

सीवर्ल्ड पार्क एंड एंटरटेनमेंट के लाइसेंस के तहत यह अमेरिका के बाहर पहला सीवर्ल्ड पार्क होगा। अबू धाबी स्थित कंपनी मिरल इस परियोजना की मालिक और संचालक है।

डेक्सट्रा ने कॉलम, बीम और स्लैब के कनेक्शन और सुदृढीकरण के लिए 400,000 बार्टेक कप्लर्स की आपूर्ति की है।

इसके अलावा, स्विमिंग पूल के ओवरले स्लैब में 20,000 लीनियर मीटर कटटेबल जीएफआरपी (ग्लास फाइबर रीइनफोर्समेंट पॉलिमर) रिबार भी लगाए गए हैं, जो पसंद के उत्पाद के रूप में स्टील रिबार की जगह लेते हैं।

इसकी स्थायित्व और संक्षारण-मुक्त प्रकृति के लिए धन्यवाद, जीएफआरपी एक आदर्श सामग्री है जब कंक्रीट संरचना पानी से घिरी होती है।
