ASTEC Active Anchors have been installed by Franki Foundations & Atlas Foundations for stabilizing excavation works of the Bagneux station (Metro M4 extension and future M15), in the North of Paris. The solution has been approved for this project by engineering consulting firm SYSTRA.
ASTEC Active Anchors are the preferred solution for subway stations works as Tunnel Boring Machine and standard earth-moving equipment can simply cut anchors’ FRP tendons at any stage, removing all needs of unreliable anchors pull out.
After numerous successful projects in the Middle East, this was the first time ASTEC Active Anchors were installed in Europe.
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.
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.
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!

Autodesk recently released the latest version of Revit, its main 3D drawing and architectural software. 2017 version of the app now includes a new rebar couplers and end anchors tool, directly available from the tool bar.
To support this new feature, Dextra released all its coupler range in Revit Product Family format so it is now very simple to browse and insert couplers into your structure.
All Revit Family attribute files can be downloaded directly from our Download after registration and log in. All instructions are available into the package.

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.

On the 24th of March 2016, Tunnel Boring Machine successfully broke through Dextra ASTEC Soft Eyes in d-wall of Wang Burapha Station (Burapha/Charoen Krung rd.). Soft Eyes are temporary structures made of cut-able GFRP bars that allow TBMs to pass through, saving much efforts and time for the tunnel creation. More information about ASTEC Soft Eyes.
The tower which will soon become the highest building in the world is currently being built in Saudi Arabia. Jeddah Tower (previously called Kingdom Tower) is expected to break the one-kilometer mark, making it 180 meters higher than the Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai. The tower structure has been engineered by consulting firm Thornton Tomasetti and is built by contractor Saudi Bin Laden.
Jeddah Tower will ultimately host a 200-rooms Four Seasons hotel, service apartments, several floors of offices and an observatory. A total of 59 elevators will allow visitors to move between floors.
To support this engineering prowess, Dextra is proudly delivering Bartec Couplers for both foundations and superstructure packages of the Jeddah Tower. Two main types of Bartec couplers are used: Standard and Bridging Assemblies.
