The new headquarters building of the National Bank of Kuwait is a 300m-tall tower that covers a total floor area of 127,000m2 with a design concept inspired by pearl shells and located in the heart of Kuwait City’s financial district.

The main construction comprises composite concrete and steel, while the cladding on the fins and glass façades is predominantly glass-reinforced concrete.

Dextra took part in reinforcing the concrete structure of the building by providing these solutions:

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.

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 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.

キング サルマン エネルギー パーク (SPARK) は、サウジアラビア東部州のダンマームとアルアハサーの間に位置する新しい工業都市プロジェクトです。

このプロジェクトは、探査、生産、精製、石油化学、従来型電力、水の生産と処理、掘削など、同国のエネルギー関連製品とサービスに対する増え続ける需要に応えることを目的としている。

2021年の第1段階完了までに、SPARKは工業ゾーン、ドライポートと物流ゾーン、ビジネス地区、トレーニングセンターと住宅団地、そして商業活動の5つの主要ゾーンに分割される。

Dextra は、建築物や歩道向けに、直線および曲げ形状の ASTEC GFRP (ガラス繊維強化ポリマー) 鉄筋モデル GR45P を約 700,000 本供給しました。

ASTEC GFRP GR45P 鉄筋は、45GPa の弾性率と ASTM 7205 – 06 に準拠した引張強度を備えています。新築および既存の構造の両方の強化材として使用できます。

2035 年に第 3 段階が完成すると予想されており、その面積は 50 平方キロメートルとなり、10 万人の雇用が創出されることが見込まれています。

Ithra Dubai による One Za'abeel は、ドバイの 360 度の眺めを提供する 2 つの建物を解剖する世界最大のカンチレバーである「The Link」を使用して、新しい基準を設定し、ドバイの設計とエンジニアリングの限界を押し上げる象徴的な開発です。

この高層複合開発には、高級住宅、超高級ホテル、サービスアパートメント、高級オフィススペース、小売店の表彰台、パノラマのスカイコンコースが組み込まれています。

デキストラは、仮設開口部やスターターバーだけでなく、ラフト、柱、スラブをコア壁に接続するための Bartec 標準鉄筋カプラーを 400,000 ユニット以上納入しました。

Bartec 溶接可能なカプラーもカンチレバーのコンクリート構造を接続するために取り付けられています。

イスラ・ドバイは、2021年末までにタワーA、タワーB、ザ・リンクのすべての外装工事が完了する予定で、これによりワン・ザビールの外装工事が完了する予定である。その後、内装の建設とフィッティングがより重点的に再開されます。
