Orhideea Towers is a double-tower office complex located in the western part of Bucharest. The towers stand 85 meters (17 floors) and 64 meters (13 floors) tall, respectively, and are connected by a sky bridge.

For this project, Dextra supplied its フォルテック rebar coupler solution. The フォルテック system consists of a standard rebar coupler, used for both standard and positional applications, connected to two rebar ends that have been enlarged and threaded. フォルテック is particularly suitable for seismic environments, making it ideal for buildings in the Bucharest area.

Fortec couplers were used for all reinforcement connections in the heavily reinforced foundation mat (1.5 meters thick). Their compact design eliminates the need for overlapping rebar in congested areas, simplifying installation.

Additionally, フォルテック couplers facilitated temporary openings, allowing workers and equipment to move through the reinforcement. Before casting, continuation bars were simply connected to the couplers, closing the temporary openings.
