Parque Da Cidade is a multi-tower multi-purpose green building complex located in the south of São Paulo. The project hosts 5 corporate office towers, a hotel, residential buildings and a shopping mall.

For this project, DextraDoBrasildelivered to contractor Odebrecht its Rolltec rebar coupler solution.

Rolltec is the most popular rebar slicing solution in Brazil, providing a competitive alternative to lap splices and more importantly allowingadvanced applications simplifying project management and operations.

For Parque Da Cidade, Rolltec rebar couplers were used to provide a connection between the columns and the beams. The solution was supported by a Rolltec equipment installed at site and maintained by our Dextra local engineers.

For that application, rebar couplers are aligned horizontally in the column reinforcement at each floor and cast in concrete. Dextra provide its couplers with thread protection cap so there is no risk of liquid concrete leaking into the coupler.

At a later stage of the project, continuation bar can be connected directly into the couplers, providing convenient starter bars for the beam or slab reinforcement.

Furthermore, on Parque Da Cidade, Dextra delivered its Unitec solution. Unitec is a bolted coupler that doesn’t require any rebar preparation. It was used on Parque Da Cidade to provide connection between the rebar protruding from two precast elements.
