Nagpur Metro Zero Mile Station in a mixed-use transportation/parking/commercial project taking place in the city of Nagpur, Maharashtra state. It is located on the new metro line crossing the city from North to South. The Zero Mile Station is a subway station combined to a 12-stories building which will host commercial areas and a car park of a capacity of 430 vehicles.

For that project, Dextra has been involved in 2017 for the supply and installation of ground anchors for the stabilization of ground around excavation area.

Dextra supplied its innovative ASTEC (FRP) Active Anchors solution (AAA), a special type of ground anchors which, in the case of temporary applications, can be left in the ground after the project ends, even if those stretch beyond property line or come across future tunnels.

Indeed, one main benefit of the FRP anchor bar is to make the anchor entirely cut-able by conventional excavation equipment, making it the best substitute to conventional removable anchors which are steel anchors that needs to be removed from ground by brute force at the end of project.

Dextra ASTEC Active Anchors are light to transport and can be carried to their final location by workers. Once inserted in the drilled hole, each anchor is grouted and later stressed by the use of conventional PT strands connected to the FRP anchor. After installation, the anchor can remain in the ground, unlike conventional removable anchors which require additional project management and generate end-of-life anchor removal costs.
