Act One | Act Two Tower is a premium residential project in the Opera District of Downtown Dubai.

The project consists of two towers called Act One (52 stories) and Act Two (46 stories).

With their prime location, these residential towers offer views of the Dubai Fountain and the Burj Khalifa and they are few minutes away from Dubai Metro and from major attractions like the Dubai Mall and the Souk al Bahar.

For this exceptional residential project, Dextra was entrusted with the reinforcement of the buildings’ structures, including raft foundations, columns, slabs and construction joints.

150,000 Bartec rebar couplers along with rebar preparation machines were delivered to the construction site.

Bartec rebar couplers help speed up the construction with a faster and more convenient way of connecting rebars than the traditional rebar lapping method.

The thread on the rebar can be extended from a half-coupler to a full coupler length, allowing to perform the connection without any bar rotation.

The project is scheduled to be completed in November 2020.

This new 4-story retail center has been designed to have the smallest carbon footprint possible, with an innovative optimization of the air-condition load.

It is located in Jebel Ali, Dubai, UAE with an 81,000 sqm floor area and a leasable area for over 100 retail and concept stores.

Dextra Groutec couplers contained in the precast panels made the assembly on site easy and fast. More than 1,100 units of Groutec L 25 and 32mm were delivered.

Groutec is a high-performance precast connection solution which is convenient to set up and fast to install on site by grout injection. It supports the connection of precast concrete columns, panels and beams.

The first phase of the retail center is set for completion in 2019. The second phase will include a residential area to create a new lifestyle hub in Dubai.

The Floresta Gardens project involves construction of the towers inside The Pearl Qatar.

The project consists with the construction of mid-rise residential towers and villas within three gated villa communities, including a 2,452-square meter retail center. The precinct has a gross floor space of 267,471 square meters, 145,967 square meters of developable land, and 5,000 residential units.

In the precast construction of the towers, Dextra Groutec played a significant role. Over 30,000 Groutec L couplers in sizes 20 mm to 40 mm were inserted inside columns for vertical connections on the construction site.

Groutec precast coupler is an innovative solution for fast and easy connection of precast concrete elements. It is widely used in residential and commercial construction projects around the world.

Galaxy Towers, developed by Aurobindo, is a project to construct 24-storey precast office building in Hyderabad, India.

It will be the tallest office tower in India built with precast technology.

The building comprises of 4 basement floors and 24 upper stories with 1.9 million sq. ft. leasable area, which will include health clubs, food courts, cafés, a business center, ample car parking and a waiting lounge.

The project is expected to be built in half the time of a comparable conventional cast-in-situ construction, illustrating how the precast technology has gained ground thanks to its efficiency.

For this special project, Dextra supplied a critical part of the precast structure: Groutec coupler, a half-grouted sleeve designed for the connection of precast elements and manufactured in compliance with Eurocode 2, BS 8110, ACI 318, IBC, AASHTO & IS 16172.

By installing Groutec couplers into the precast columns and walls at the precast factory, the fast and safe connection of walls or columns is achieved by injecting cementitious non-shrink grout through the inlet into the sleeves at site. 102,000 Groutec couplers have been delivered for this project.

The Galaxy Towers is anticipated to be completed in 2020.

The Key Rama 3 is a 484-unit high-rise condominium by Land & Houses with sizes ranging from 29 to 61 square meters. The project is located near the Chaopraya river on Rama 3 road, approximately 12 km. from Charoen Krung intersection to Na Ranong junction at Klongtoey in Bangkok, Thailand.

The condominium is a fully precast concrete building with no cast-in-place concrete on its main structural elements.

This type of construction required less workers, materials like rebars, and concrete on the site, which resulted in a shorter construction period and fewer complaints from the neighboring community regarding noise and waste.

Grouted mechanical sleeves were used to join the precast elements, and Dextra Groutec couplers, installed inside shear wall and bearing wall, were an important part of the process.

“The half-grouted mechanism of Groutec L and S sleeves, which have a threaded end on one side, ensured accuracy and reduced mistakes during the grouting process” said Mr. Janeboon Leepipatnavit, Project Director of Taveeporn Technology Co., Ltd., the contractor of this project.

Mr. Janeboon further stated that Dextra was a reliable company with its own facilities in Thailand that could provide immediate support if required.
