Dream Acres is a large residential complex (81 acres area) located east of Bangalore in India. The ambitious real estate program features 13 towers of 14 floors built in a record time thanks to the use of precast construction methods supported by a purpose-built factory powered by Vollert equipment.

Dextra supplies owner and developer Sobha with the following products and services:

Groutec couplers, used for the swift connection of precast elements either to a footing or directly to another precast element. On Dream Acres, Groutec couplers advantageously splice load-bearing wall panels together, ensuring a high performance connection and speeding up installation compared to more traditional wet in-situ joint methods.

More about Groutec.

Bartec couplers, the high-performance rebar splicing solution is based on two Bartec-threaded bars and a Bartec coupler. Bartec is used across Dream Acres for cast-in-place applications as well as inside the precast elements.

More about Bartec.

Rebar preparation services. Dextra India takes in charge the rebar preparation operations using Bartec equipment which is engineered and manufactured by Dextra. Rebar with Bartec-threaded ends are delivered directly to Sobha according to their schedule. Same bars can be used indifferently with Bartec couplers or Groutec couplers as the two solutions take advantage of the same thread system.

Congratulations to Sobha for already completing the first towers ahead of schedule. Dextra teams are looking forward to more successful precast and in-situ connections on the next phases of the project!

Two teams of 5 runners mixing members of Dextra Guanghzou factory and Hong Kong offices have lined up at the start of Hong Kong’s Peak24 race.

This annual 24-miles race raises awareness and funds to fight against modern days human trafficking. As 35 million children and adults are considered to be enslaved around the world today, including in South East Asia, raising awareness of the public opinion is key to promote ethical consumption alternatives and push governments to put an end to those illegal and barbaric practices.

Congratulations to Aileen, Jenny, Shirley, Michelle, Steven, Kelvin, Keefe, Michael, Owen and Navy for running in the name of Dextra for this great event and completing the race with success!

Dextra Architectural Bar Solutions are used around the world in a variety of applications: roof structures, façades, pedestrian and road bridges.

Our range is designed with flexibility in mind so that architects and designers can fully express their creativity. No other tension bar range on the market provides such a choice of steel grades, diameters, accessories and surface finishes. It’s all about finding the right product to perfectly match your idea.

One of our latest references in the Middle East is the Sabah Al-Salem Kuwait University City. Tension Bars are anchoring the tent-shaped structures which provide shades to all parking areas.

More than a thousand tension bar systems have been installed across the campus. Steel grade 700 has been systematically preferred in order to use smaller bar diameters (M16 to M33) and accessories. This makes the anchoring less visible and enforces the impression that the “tents” are floating above the ground.

In July, the first Griptec connections were produced on the site of the 5th reactor of Fuqing nuclear power plant, located in the Chinese province of Fujian.

Dextra is thrilled to be part of the construction of the first reactor to be built after a 100% Chinese design. Griptec connections will be used over the next 5 years, mainly in the aircraft protective shell.

Griptec is the preferred rebar splicing solution of the nuclear industry thanks to its unique performance and an automatic proofing process which tests 100% of the connections.

Griptec has been supplied to nuclear projects like Taishan EPR in China and Flamanville 3 EPR in France.
