Emirates’ Bustanica Vertical Farm, UAE
Emirates’ Bustanica Vertical Farm is the world’s largest vertical farm, a sprawling indoor farming facility spanning an impressive 330,000 square feet. This state-of-the-art facility plays a crucial role in providing fresh, locally sourced in-flight food for Emirates and several other airlines operating at Dubai International Airport. At the core of this groundbreaking project lies meticulous engineering, and one crucial component that contributes to its success is the use of Dextra Groutec couplers for the precast shear wall module connections.
Esta fazenda vertical emprega tecnologia de ponta para cultivar uma ampla gama de culturas em um ambiente controlado. Ao empilhar camadas de culturas verticalmente, a instalação maximiza a utilização do espaço e minimiza o consumo de recursos. O resultado é um sistema sustentável e eficiente que produz produtos frescos e de alta qualidade durante todo o ano, independentemente das condições climáticas externas.
O papel dos acopladores Dextra Groutec
In any construction project, the choice of materials and components is critical to ensuring structural integrity and long-term durability. In the case of the world’s largest vertical farm, the engineers faced the challenge of connecting precast shear wall modules securely. The solution came in the form of Groutec L. couplers with a diameter of 25mm.
Groutec couplers are renowned for their reliability and strength in connecting precast concrete elements. These couplers provide a robust and efficient means of joining precast concrete components, ensuring the structural stability of the entire facility. The 25mm diameter was carefully selected to meet the specific requirements of the shear wall modules, offering a seamless connection that enhances the overall resilience of the vertical farm.
Os acopladores Groutec não apenas facilitam a integridade estrutural da fazenda vertical, mas também se alinham ao compromisso do projeto com a sustentabilidade. A durabilidade e fiabilidade destes acopladores garantem que as ligações resistem ao teste do tempo, apoiando a longevidade da instalação e a sua contribuição para a agricultura sustentável.
