The Lima Metro is a rapid transit system in Peru, currently linking Villa El Salvador district in the south of Lima with San Juan de Lurigancho, in the northeast area of the city. The Metro Line 1 started its operation in 2011 with 26 stations, making a total of 34.6 kilometers, the longest metro line in the Americas.

Dextra is proud to contribute to the construction of Metro Line 2 and the initial phase of Line 4, both of which commenced simultaneously in 2016. Line 2, a 27-kilometer fully underground transit route, will seamlessly connect Lima’s Ate district with the Callao region. Meanwhile, the first 8-kilometer segment of Line 4 will serve as a crucial link between Line 2 and the Jorge Chávez International Airport station, enhancing connectivity for commuters and travelers alike.

More than 160,000 Rolltec rebar couplers have been supplied to the Metro construction site to avoid rebar congestion of the traditional overlapping method.

Several types of Rolltec couplers were installed in various parts of the stations’ structures, including standard couplers size #8, #11 and #14, and transition couplers size #8 and #11.

The full line will be operational in 2024.
