Mumbai ChhatrapatiShivaji International Airport is the primary airport serving international airports to Mumbai. It is the second airport in India in term of passenger traffic.

Dextra has been involved in the construction of Terminal 2 and associated structures, which took place between 2009 and 2013.

For Mumbai Airport, Dextradelivered its popular
Bartec rebar coupler solution, which is the main rebar coupler solution used on large projects in India.

Dextra operates in Mumbai its own threading yard and took in charge therebar preparation for this project.

On the construction site,
Bartec was used extensively for vertical connections (bar-to-bar vertical column connections), as well as horizontal applications (column-to-beam), typically on reinforcement ⌀32mm. Bartec offers a very high level of performance, guaranteeing “bar break” performance on the rebar used on Mumbai Airport.

For the contractor(Larsten& Toubro on this project),
Bartec offers a simple and cost effective way of connecting rebar.

Thanks to its parallel thread technology and rebar prepared with various thread length, it requires the very same coupler for standard applications (when one bar can be rotated inside coupler) and positional applications (when no bar can be rotated). A neat feature simplifying stock keeping and preventing product mismatch at site.
