The Queensland Curtis LNG (QCLNG) project is located on Curtis Island, Gladstone, Queensland, Australia. It involves the conversion of coal seam gas (CSG) reserves into liquefied natural gas (LNG), as well as the expansion of CSG exploration and development in southern and central Queensland.

The project encompasses multiple components, including gas fields, pipelines, an LNG plant, a swing basin and channel, and shipping operations. Construction began in late 2010.

Dextra contributed to the project by delivering 307 tons of barras de ligação marítimas and accessories in Grade 460. These barras de gravata serve as anchorage for the anchor walls of the marine offloading facility.

A Usina Elétrica de Bang Pakong é a primeira usina elétrica da Tailândia a usar gás natural do Golfo da Tailândia como sua principal fonte de combustível.

Localizada na margem esquerda do Rio Bang Pakong, na província de Chachoengsao, a usina é composta por unidades térmicas e blocos de ciclo combinado, com uma capacidade total de 2.490 MW.

A usina foi construída para compensar a perda de capacidade de geração de energia após o descomissionamento da Usina Elétrica de Ciclo Combinado de Bang Pakong, de 1.050 MW, em 2014.

Contribuição da Dextra para o Projeto:

A Dextra forneceu uma ampla gama de Bartec uniões de vergalhões, com tamanhos variando de 12 mm a 32 mm, para a construção da torre de resfriamento e dos blocos de ciclo combinado da usina. Essas uniões foram utilizadas para reforçar e conectar colunas e vigas pré-moldadas.

Adicionalmente, Groutec Os acopladores foram instalados em colunas pré-moldadas, proporcionando uma conexão rápida e eficiente à fundação no canteiro de obras. Após a elevação e a colocação das colunas pré-moldadas, os acopladores embutidos foram injetados com argamassa, garantindo uma conexão segura e confiável.

The Dunkirk LNG Terminal is a new natural gas facility built in northern France. The project is owned by EDF (France’s main energy company), Fluxys, and Total. The terminal facilitates the importation of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is transported at an ultra-low temperature of -163°C. It plays a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for natural gas in France and Belgium, supplying 20% of the total national consumption of these two European markets. It is the second-largest LNG terminal in continental Western Europe.

For this major energy infrastructure project, Dextra collaborated with Bouygues Travaux Publics to supply Griptec, Dextra’s most advanced rebar splicing solution. Dextra provided the Griptec sleeves, while our local network of fabricators handled bar end preparation.

Griptec was used in the following key applications:

• Three reservoir external walls: Installed in vertical applications to reinforce structural integrity.
• Congested areas: Griptec Headed Bars were used as a substitute for hook bars, optimizing space and reducing congestion.
• Temporary openings: Griptec was also applied in various parts of the project to create temporary openings, facilitating the movement of personnel and equipment through the reinforcement.

For more information on similar applications, please refer to the Tanger Med 2 Port project, also completed by Bouygues.
