マリーナベイサンズ
Marina Bay Sands is a spectacular resort featuring more than 2,500 rooms, a casino, many restaurants, topped by a unique sky garden. The project was completed and opened to the public in 2010.
For this project, Dextra supplied between 2007 and 2008 solutions for the reinforcement splicing, as well as Sonitec tubes.
Bartec rebar coupler were used in the foundations for Diaphragm Walls, answering a double challenge.
First rebar couplers may be used vertically to connect D-Wall cages together, allowing to achieve longer cage length.
Then couplers may also be used horizontally as pending connections for slabs. In that case, the coupler is usually installed on a hook bars and cast in concrete. At a later stage, the coupler may be reconnected with second phase rebar to start the slab reinforcement.
Couplers were also used for underground tunnels and ventilation building.
For the foundations, Dextra also supplied more than 100,000 linear meters of Sonitec tubes, which are easy to set up in reinforcement cages and reconnect, increasing the productivity and removing the need for tedious and unreliable welding operations. Once installed, the tubes are firmly in place, supporting without issue the cage lifting and handling.
