Hong Kong International Airport Terminal 2
Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) stands as a global aviation hub, ranking among the world’s busiest airports for both cargo and passenger traffic. As part of its commitment to excellence and efficiency, the recent Terminal 2 Expansion project aimed to enhance the airport’s capacity and infrastructure. In this ambitious endeavor, Dextra’s contribution played a pivotal role in ensuring the project’s success.
With the continuous growth in air travel and cargo shipments, HKIA recognized the need to expand and upgrade its facilities to accommodate increasing demand. Terminal 2, a vital component of the airport’s infrastructure, became the focus of an extensive expansion project. This redevelopment aimed not only to increase passenger capacity but also to enhance operational efficiency and provide a seamless experience for travelers.
Dextra, a leading provider of engineered construction products, played a crucial role in the success of the Terminal 2 Expansion project. The company supplied an impressive 200 tons of post-tensioning bars, specifically the size M78 and M88, Grade 1080. These post-tensioning bars were instrumental in several key aspects of the construction process.
Connection of Jacking Towers:
The expansion project involved intricate engineering, requiring the precise connection of jacking towers to ensure the structural integrity of the new terminal. Dextra’s post-tensioning bars provided the necessary reinforcement, allowing for a secure and reliable connection between the towers.
Heavy Lifting of Roof Structure:
Terminal 2’s redevelopment included the installation of a robust and aesthetically pleasing roof structure. The weight and complexity of the roof necessitated a sophisticated lifting mechanism. Dextra’s Grade 1080 post-tensioning bars facilitated the heavy lifting process, ensuring that the roof structure was securely and efficiently positioned.
As HKIA continues to uphold its status as a global aviation leader, the Terminal 2 Expansion project and Dextra’s significant contribution stand out as a remarkable example of innovation and excellence in airport infrastructure development.
