A grand return to nuclear energy in UK
ヒンクリー ポイント C (HPC) 原子力発電所は、ヨーロッパで最大かつ最も技術的に複雑なプロジェクトの 1 つです。
HPC は英国で一世代の間に建設された最初の原子力発電所であり、その建設には高度な熟練労働力と最高の建設およびエンジニアリング ソリューションが必要です。
The HPC Project is located in Somerset, South West England, and will consist of two nuclear reactors capable of generating 3.2GW of low-carbon electricity.
The new power station is being constructed in the same area as the existing Hinkley Point A and B stations. The former has ceased operation for quite some time, while the latter is scheduled to begin decommissioning in 2023.
Dextra was entrusted with the supply of mechanical splices for concrete reinforcement for parts of HPC, particularly the reactor’s aircraft impact protective shell.
HPC の構築には、100 万個を超えるグリップテック カプラーが必要になると予測されています。
Griptec は最も厳格なプロジェクト仕様に準拠するように設計されており、フラマンビル 3 発電所、泰山 1 発電所、泰山 2 発電所の建設に使用され、EPR 原子力発電所によく選ばれるシステムであることが証明されています。
Headed Bar calculation tool released!
We are pleased to announce the release of the Headed Bar Calculation Tool, available for Bartec/Fortec, Griptec and Rolltec product ranges.
This document will allow designers to easily calculate the minimum edge and spacing requirements, confinement reinforcement and if necessary, rebar bond contribution for Dextra headed bars.
The new release is complementary to the Arup/Dextra step by step design guide, which is intended as a non-contradictory supplement to Eurocode 2.

The seismic performance of Dextra couplers
Ductility is a key performance characteristic for concrete reinforcement used in seismic design.
Dextra collaborated with Imperial College London for the seismic performance tests of reinforced concrete beam-column using 16mm and 20mm Bartec/Fortec and Griptec mechanical splices.
As a result, Bartec/Fortec and Griptec coupler systems provided ductility that allowed the development of ultimate rotation levels that are likely to be adequate for typical seismic design situations.
