Forest City builds on Dextra precast solutions
The new city is rising on the Southern tip of Malaysia across from Singapore
Forest City is a massive mixed-use urban development located close to Johor Bahru in Southern Malaysia. The development is built on reclaimed land on the shores of the Johor Strait.
Dextra has been involved since the early phases of the project as suppliers of the Groutec S precast connection solution.
Groutec S is the recently introduced slim version of the well-known Groutec L coupler. Its compact design allows it to fit into thin precast elements.
The sleeves simplify the connection of precast elements (e.g. columns or panels) to the structure of the 38-storey towers, thus speeding up the construction cycle.
Both Groutec models consume significantly less grout than other grouting sleeves on the market and do not require proprietary grout.
Viaduct construction in seismic environment
The Bol-Boljare project aims at boosting Montenegro’s economy
The Bar-Boljare Highway is a key infrastructure project led by the Ministry of Transportation and Maritime Affairs of Montenegro and built by China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC). The 2×2 lanes highway spans over 40km, in seismic environment.
iNGEROP, the consulting firm on the project, required the rebar couplers to comply with ISO 15835 requirements (cyclic requirements as per class S2). For that reason, CRBC chose Dextra Bartec® solution for reinforcement connection.
Soft-Eyes installed at Singapore Marine Terrace Station
A future part of the Thomson-East Coast Line
Four large diameter soft eyes have been installed in the diaphragm wall cages of the new Singapore MRT Marine Terrace Station during August 2017.
Soft-Eyes são feitos de vergalhões GFRP, que são utilizados para substituir o reforço de aço nas D-Walls de poços de construção. Quando a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) rompe as D-Walls, ela corta facilmente as barras de GFRP, economizando tempo no cronograma do projeto e dinheiro no uso do equipamento.
A Dextra tem sido a pioneira nesta aplicação desde a sua primeira utilização no projecto do metro de Banguecoque em 1998 e tem uma vasta experiência no design e fabrico interno de Soft-Eyes.
The D-Walls installed on Terrace Station also feature Bartec® rebar couplers, a common application which allows for the horizontal re-connection of the station slabs.
Dome of Fuqing-5 reactor installed
An important milestone for the construction of the power plant where Dextra is supplying its Griptec solution
Fuqing-5 is the first reactor that uses the Hualong-1 design which is 100% Chinese.
The contractor China Nuclear Industry 24 Construction Co.,Ltd. has chosen Dextra Griptec solution for the connection of the steel reinforcement on the reactor building.
Dextra has a proven expertise to handle those demanding nuclear projects in terms of production capacity, certification, technical applications and on-site service.
The Griptec equipment has proven to be highly adequate for nuclear projects due to an integrated testing system that verifies each single connection produced. Its short cycle times (less than 40 seconds) allow high productivity levels while requiring only one operator.
Jizan Refinery oil terminal
New project on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia seeks to transform the region
Jizan Refinery & Terminal is Saudi Aramco’s latest oil mega project and part of the Jizan Economic Area.
For this terminal, Dextra engineered and manufactured marine tie rods that were used for the anchoring of the combi walls of the quays.
In total, Dextra delivered 412 tie rod sets in size M98, steel grade 500. The rods were connected to both walls by means of Dextra’s unique captive nuts solutions.
Captive Nuts allow a convenient angle of adjustment of 5° in all directions.
