Adjacent to the Geomatikum building, home to various departments and research centers of the University of Hamburg, the new “House of the Earth” is taking shape. Spanning over 21,000 square meters, this state-of-the-art facility will serve as a hub for geoscience and climate research. Beginning in 2018, all units of the CliSAP (Integrated Climate System Analysis and Prediction) excellence cluster will operate from this location, fostering close collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology.

During 2016 and 2017, Dextra supplied its Griptec system for the splicing of cast-in-place reinforcement across various sections of the building. Griptec couplers, fully approved by DIBt (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik) for the German construction market, are available throughout Germany via our extensive distributor network.
