Kanchpur, Meghna, and Gumti 2nd Bridges Construction
The Kanchpur, Meghna, and Gumti 2nd Bridges Construction and Existing Bridges Rehabilitation Project (KMG project) includes the construction of three new bridges on National Highway No. 1 (NH-1) across the Kanchpur, Meghna, and Gumti rivers, as well as the rehabilitation and renovation of existing bridges.
The new bridges have four lanes and are built beside older bridges with approach roads.
The objective of the project is to improve traffic conditions and transportation efficiency on National Highway No. 1 between Dhaka and Chittagong, contributing to Bangladesh’s long-term economic growth.
Dextra supplied thousands of Unitec couplers, ranging from 12 mm to 28 mm in diameter, to connect top slabs and piers.
Unitec is a bolted splicing system designed for the connection of two rebars that haven’t been previously prepared (no thread). It can be assembled on site with a standard impact/pneumatic wrench.
