Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji 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, Dextra delivered its popular Bartec rebar coupler solution, which is the primary rebar coupler used on large projects in India.

Dextra operates its own threading yard in Mumbai and took responsibility for the rebar 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 for reinforcement of ⌀32mm. Bartec offers an exceptional level of performance, ensuring “bar break” performance on the rebar used at Mumbai Airport.

For the contractor (Larsen & 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 lengths, it requires the same coupler for both standard applications (when one bar can be rotated inside the coupler) and positional applications (when no bar can be rotated). This is a convenient feature that simplifies stock management and prevents product mismatches on site.
