Soft-Eyes installed at Singapore Marine Terrace Station

Postado em Outubro 1, 2017Fevereiro 6, 2024 por Sir Gwi

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.

Reinforcing highway girders with post tensioning bar systems

Postado em Julho 1, 2017Fevereiro 6, 2024 por Sir Gwi

Post Tensioning Bar systems are highly customizable and versatile solutions allowing for multiple applications in bridge/viaduct construction.

Dextra has recently supplied customized PT bar systems for the reinforcement of precast girder segments used on the Bang Pa In – Saraburi – Nakhon Ratchasima highway in the North-East of Bangkok.

O Sistemas de barras pós-tensionadas, made of hot rolled deformed high-tensile bars (FT bars) Ø36mm, allow for the vertical reinforcement of the precast segments, with up to 14 sets per girder element.

Each bar will be jacked and put under the required tension from the top of each element while on the ground. After that the girder is lifted and installed in its final position.

Permanent corrosion protection will be achieved by filling a galvanized duct around the bar with grout.
