In 1988, International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) won the 25+25 year concession to operate the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), one of the three terminals in the Port of Manila.

Since then, MICT has increased its annual capacity five-fold, becoming the largest and most modern container terminal in the Philippines.

It is now considered at par with the best terminals in the world with its guaranteed efficiencies and modernized operational and administrative systems.

MICT Berth 7 is the expansion project of the existing Berth 6 that will help alleviate congestion at off-dock container yards.

Dextra was involved in the project by supplying 110 sets of Marine Tie Bars, grade 700, bar diameter 85mm as an anchorage to tie back the main concrete wall casted on top of tubular steel piles to a sheet pile anchor wall connected with crane rail beam.

Dextra offers its marine tie bar solution in 3 steel grades, up to a yield stress of 700Mpa and 22 thread diameters, allowing a close match to the performance requirements and an economic use of material.
