SeaWorld Abu Dhabi is an under-construction marine life theme park and animal research, rescue and rehabilitation center, planned to open in 2023 on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

It will be the first SeaWorld park outside of the US, under a license from SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment. The Abu Dhabi-based company Miral is the owner and operator of the project.

Dextra have supplied 400,000 Bartec couplers for the connection and reinforcement of columns, beams, and slabs.

Moreover, 20,000 linear meters of cuttable GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforcement Polymer) rebar have also been installed in the overlay slabs of the swimming pools, replacing steel rebars as the product of choice.

Thanks to its durability and corrosion-free nature, GFRP is an ideal material when the concrete structure is surrounded by water.
