Kuwait International Airport is the country’s main airport located in the South of Kuwait City. The Hub can currently handle more than 9 million passengers per year, and is home to the famous Kuwait Airlines, Jazeera Airways, and Wataniya Airways.

A new state-of-the-art terminal

This newest infrastructure is part of the Airport’s expansion project, aiming to enhance its status as the State of Kuwait’s gateway. When complete, the Terminal II building will form a triangular mark, a symbol of Kuwait reflecting the country’s rich culture and civilization.
Scheduled for completion in 2020, this striking five-storey terminal building will be able to handle 25 million passengers a year, and will be connected to the first terminal via a tunnel.

From the foundations to the roofs

For this project, the lead Turkish contractor Limak Holding and its Kuwaiti agent Kharafi National have chosen Dextra’s Rolltec rebar coupler solution for rebar splicing in all the building’s concrete structures. Thanks to its rolled-parallel threaded system, as well as its simple preparation and installation process, this splicing solution can help shorten construction cycle times.

For the Terminal’s impressive structure, the contractors have also opted for Dextra’s high-performance smooth Post-Tensioning bar systems. Thanks to its smooth carbon steel bars and its rolled threads, the very high-tensile PT Bar system features high fatigue and strength performance, as well as a high impact resistance.
