The Karimun Yard is located on the small island of Karimun, Indonesia, less than 25 km from Batam and Singapore. Operated by Saipem, the yard offers over 780,000 sqm of fabrication areas with an annual production capacity of 50,000 tons.

Between 2009 and 2010, Dextra manufactured and supplied large Marine Tie Bars for Saipem, which were incorporated into the main quay wall. Additionally, in 2008, Dextra supplied Marine Tie Bars and Waling Beams, connecting the sheet pile walls of the service jetty.

Marine Tie Bar Systems: High-Performance Solutions:
For the main yard, Dextra supplied its Grade 700 Marine Tie Bars, the highest grade in the range.

• Higher tie bar grades allow for high performance while reducing the size and weight of the bars, making transportation and installation easier.
• Grade 700 also enables design optimization, allowing bars to be spaced further apart, thus reducing the total number of bars required for the project.

Connection & Splicing Systems:
To connect the bars to the walls, ball cages were used.

• When used with a bearing plate embedded in the wall, ball cages allow a multidirectional adjustment angle of 10° for greater installation flexibility.
• To splice bar segments, couplers were also used, ensuring a strong and secure connection.
