Business Garden Bucharest is a modern mixed used class A office complex. It features retail spaces, pairing with commercial and public services on the ground level. The name Business Garden stems from its integrated spacious green area, a garden connecting the buildings with designated recreation spaces. Generous lawn area, pedestrian pathways, and benches with free Wi-Fi are provided to invite the office goers to work or take a refreshing break outside. The complex is LEED Platinum pre-certified. To support the tenant’s everyday life needs of their employees, Business Garden Bucharest’s offices are designed to have efficient layout, built with high quality finishes and sustainable solutions that are in line with LEED Platinum green certifications.

For this project, Dextra was involved in the supply of its Fortec rebar coupler solution. The Fortec solution is made up of a standard rebar coupler that can be utilize as both standard and position splices connecting two rebar ends that have been previously enlarged and threaded. Fortec is especially suitable for seismic environment construction, which is the case of buildings in the Bucharest area.

Fortec couplers have been used to provide superstructure vertical connections. Fortec couplers are relatively compact and can help to reduce the congestion created from rebar lapping. Fortec couplers also provided temporary opening, allowing movement of the workers and equipment around the reinforcement. Before casting, the continuation bars are simply connecting to the couplers, filling the temporary opening gap.
