The Cape Town Stadium, also known as the New Green Point Stadium, is a football and multi-purpose sports venue located in Cape Town, South Africa. It was built to replace the older Green Point Stadium, which had a capacity of 18,000 seats, and to provide a larger arena with a capacity of 55,000 seats, in preparation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup hosted by South Africa. The older stadium was demolished in 2007, and construction of the new venue was completed on schedule in December 2009, a few months before the first World Cup match.

For this large stadium project, Dextra supplied its Bartec rebar coupler solution, the primary rebar coupler solution offered by Dextra in South Africa. The company provided 70,000 high-performance rebar couplers, efficient rebar preparation equipment, and training and after-sales service throughout the construction phase to ensure efficient production and adherence to the project schedule.

Bartec couplers were used to splice bars vertically in the stadium’s foundations and columns.
