Next to the “Geomatikum” building, which houses numerous departments and research centres of the university of Hamburg, the new “House of the Earth” is taking shape. Across more than 21,000 square meters of space, this multipurpose structure will accommodate activities related to geoscience and especially climate research: As of 2018, all units related to the CliSAP (“Integrated Climate System Analysis and Prediction”) excellency cluster will research and teach from here, in close proximity to the Max-Planck-institute for Meteorology.

During 2016 and 2017, Dextra supplied its Griptec system for the splicing of cast in place reinforcement in various parts of the building. Griptec couplers are available all over Germany through our network of distributors. Of course, Griptec has been approved for the German construction market by the DIBt (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik).
