One Nine Elms is a new mixed-use high-rise project in London, facing the Thames river.

This real estate venture will replace the 44-year-old Market Towers with a 56-storey skyscraper called City Tower and a 42-storeys called River Tower, 18 floors of which will be dedicated to a 173-rooms luxury hotel.

High performance rebar connectors are required in order to reinforce the structure of these two iconic towers: Dextra was entrusted with this job, and provided 70,000 Griptec couplers, well-known for their unrivaled performance in tension, compression, and fatigue conditions.

Supported by high-productivity rebar preparation equipment, Griptec couplers were installed in columns, beams, starter bars for slabs and other parts of the structure.
Furthermore, the homogeneity of concrete within the buildings’ bored piles was tested using the Cross Sonic Logging (CSL) methodology, requiring a transmitter and a receiver to be inserted in parallel water-filled tubes down the pile depth to measure the speed of ultrasonic pulses and ensure the integrity of the foundations.

Dextra’s SONITEC tube facilitated the test thanks to its easy installation into reinforcement cages: 4,000m of ST50 sonic tubes were provided for this project.

Upon completion, anticipated to be in 2022, the City Tower will become one of the tallest residential projects in London and the United Kingdom.

Urban Deca Homes Ortigas is one of the largest residential projects currently developed in the Philippines, involving the construction of 22 residential buildings with 19,000 one- and two-bedroom units on a 13-hectare property in Metro Manila, Philippines.

The developer is expecting to appeal to the young working families of the surrounding areas of Ortigas, Eastwood and Vertis North, offering affordable accommodations starting from as little as 30,000 USD per unit.

Dextra has supplied almost 150,000 Groutec couplers for 20 of the residential buildings: model S25 and S28 are used to connect rebars in load-bearing shear walls.
This typology of mechanical splices is designed to simplify installation of precast concrete elements such as panels or columns.

At the site, connections are made in few seconds by injecting non-shrink grout into the Groutec’s cavity.

The project is expected to be completed by 2022.

The Reef at King’s Dock, a prestigious waterfront development in Singapore, has introduced an impressive feature to its residential project. Boasting the country’s first-ever 180-metre floating deck, this luxury development offers residents a truly unique experience. With a total of 429 units spread across 10 residential blocks, the development is situated in the Harbourfront precinct, within the Greater Southern Waterfront area.

In the construction of this remarkable project, Dextra provided the new Groutec F couplers, marking the first introduction of this innovative product in Singapore for precast household shelter connections.

Groutec, a mechanical splicing system specifically designed for connecting precast elements, offers superior strength and reliability. The Groutec F model stands out due to its fully grouted system, which enables the connection of two rebars without the need for any threading procedure, setting it apart from the well-known Groutec L and S models.

The incorporation of the Groutec F couplers by Dextra in The Reef at King’s Dock exemplifies the commitment to innovation and quality within the construction industry. This cutting-edge technology not only enhances the structural integrity of the development but also simplifies and streamlines the construction process.

O projeto de expansão do Edifício Lai King, inaugurado em 2001 no Hospital Princess Margaret, em Hong Kong, visa melhorar os serviços de atendimento ambulatorial e garantir a conformidade com o controle de infecções e padrões de serviço em ambientes de saúde modernos.

O projecto envolve a demolição da estrutura existente, construção de um novo bloco de extensão, renovação e remodelação do edifício existente, construção de pontes de ligação entre o novo bloco de extensão e o edifício existente, bem como obras externas e paisagismo.

A Dextra está ativamente envolvida nas obras de formação do local e fundação, que começaram em agosto de 2021. Nossa contribuição inclui o fornecimento de pregos de solo Astec GFRP (Polímero Reforçado com Fibra de Vidro) com diâmetro de 32 para suporte temporário durante a escavação. Esses pregos para solo são conhecidos por sua composição leve, o que os torna mais fáceis de manusear e instalar. Essa característica reduz significativamente a necessidade de mão de obra e o tempo de construção, permitindo maior produtividade no local.

Além disso, o material GFRP utilizado nestes pregos de solo apresenta alta resistência à corrosão, distinguindo-o dos pregos de solo de aço tradicionais. Este atributo garante a longevidade e durabilidade do sistema de suporte temporário, reduzindo em última análise a necessidade de manutenção e substituições dispendiosas no futuro.

A excepcional resistência à tração dos pregos de solo GFRP desempenha um papel crucial na restrição eficaz do deslocamento lateral do solo, minimizando assim o risco de movimento do solo e potencial colapso.

As obras de construção de todo o projeto estão previstas para serem concluídas até 2026.
