Chaglla Dam is a hydroelectric dam set up on the Huallaga River, in the Huánuco region of Peru. The dam is 203m heigh with an installed maximum capacity of 456 MW.

For this major dam project, Dextra continuously delivered to Brazilian contractors Odebrecht its Rolltec rebar coupler solution between 2012 and 2015.

Rolltec is the most popular rebar slicing solution in Latin America, providing a competitive alternative to lap splices.

The rebar preparation is supported by a unique light equipment, operated by a single operator. The Rolltec machine is relatively easy to transport and convenient to install even on most remote locations such as dam construction sites.

More than just couplers and equipment, Dextra also took in charge the machine commissioning and operator training, making sure the contractor team make the most out of their rebar coupler solution.

The Bahr El Baqar wastewater treatment plant is located in the northern governorate of Port Said, with a daily output capacity of 5.6 million cubic meters. It is a joint venture between the Arab Contractors Company and Orascom Construction.

The plant is the world’s largest of its kind, holding three Guinness World Records: the world’s largest water treatment facility, processing 64.8 cbm of water per second, largest sludge treatment plant, and largest single-operator ozone generating plant.

Dextra is proud to be a part of this project, supplying Rolltec rebar couplers for the reinforcement of the plant’s concrete structures.

Rolltec is a CARES approved rolled parallel threaded mechanical splicing system designed for the connection of concrete reinforcing bars from Ø12 to 50 mm (ASTM #4 to #18). It offers fast and easy preparation and installation at site.

For this remote construction sites, a Bartec rebar preparation equipment set was delivered to site in its container. A total of 120,000 rebar couplers were used on the project over a two-years period.

Jizan Flood Mitigation Channel is an under-construction infrastructure project in Jizan Economic City, Saudi Arabia.

Being located on the coastline, the city faces the risk of floods due to the frequent torrential rainfalls.

The flood channel plays the important role of protecting these downstream areas from major flood damage.

The channel will be exposed to seawater and water environmental contaminants that can influence the corrosion of steel: for this reason, Dextra ASTEC glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebar was the perfect solution for the project. Almost 2 million meters of the GFRP rebar were delivered.

ASTEC GFRP rebar is a corrosive-free non-metallic reinforcing bar that provides higher tensile strength than steel while being lighter in weight.

Upon its completion, the project will be the world’s largest construction using GFRP rebars as its concrete reinforcement.
