Dextra involved in the expansion of Fujairah Port in 2007, supplying more than a thousand tons of marine tie bar systems for the construction of the new Oil Terminal 2 and South Breakwater Berths.

In 2017, Dextra took part in the service harbour construction project. The project includes the construction of the service harbor building, new quay walls, and marine works.

Marine tie bars totaling about 380 tons were provided for the anchoring of the quay walls. The high-performance grade 700 bars, which enable a higher degree of performance for comparatively smaller diameters, were chosen to ease transportation and installation at site.

For the new Service Harbour in the Port of Fujairah, two breakwaters are being built: the 800-meter-long northern breakwater and the 1.2-kilometer-long southern breakwater, which features varied rock grades.

Aberdeen Harbour is one of the oldest and busiest ports in the UK.

It serves as a hub for the marine operations of oil and gas industry in north-west Europe, offering links to 40 countries.

The expansion project of the new South Harbour aims to increase and diversify the existing capabilities. Combined with the current port, Aberdeen Harbour will soon become the largest port in Scotland in terms of berthage.

The Aberdeen Harbour expansion mainly involved dredging within Nigg Bay to construct two breakwaters and develop quayside on the north and west sides of the bay.

Dextra offered a convenient solution for concrete integrity testing of the 35-45m depth bored piles that support the harbour structure. Both 50 and 100mm tubes were used by the contractor: Dragados, with 100mm used for inclinometry and coring purpose.

After drilling a vertical hole into the soil, Sonitec sonic tubes were equipped with the reinforcement cages and lowered into the hole, the latter is then filled with concrete, and the sonic logging testing is subsequently performed.

Dextra Sonitec system is designed to facilitate the assembly and installation of long tube lengths in reinforcement cages with its enlarged bell-mouth that allows the seamless connection of the tubes. The system complies with ASTM D6760, the standard method for integrity testing by ultrasonic cross-hole testing.

This port expansion upscales opportunities for existing customers, and opens the door to new markets, future-proofing the harbour’s ability to support the economic prosperity of the city and region.

O projecto de expansão do Porto de Sokhna está a remodelar a dinâmica do comércio global, com um cais de 480 metros e um calado de 18 metros para a Bacia 2. Este empreendimento não só amplifica a capacidade marítima do Egipto, mas também destaca o papel da Dextra no fornecimento de soluções inovadoras de infra-estruturas marítimas.

Localizado no Mar Vermelho, o Porto de Sokhna é um eixo do comércio internacional devido à sua proximidade com o Canal de Suez. A sua extensão na Bacia 2 é um movimento estratégico para responder às crescentes exigências comerciais e optimizar a conectividade entre a Ásia, a Europa e África.

O coração da expansão está no impressionante muro do cais, com 480 metros de comprimento e 18 metros de calado. A Dextra demonstrou sua expertise ao fornecer 265 toneladas de tirantes marítimos, grau 700, e gaiolas de esferas, para a construção do terminal DP World. Estes componentes melhoram a integridade estrutural e a durabilidade face aos desafios colocados pelo ambiente marinho.

The Reconstruction of Pak Kok Pier on Lamma Island is a project to reconstruct the existing pier located at the northern tip of Lamma Island in Hong Kong, including provision of ancillary facilities such as roof cover, lighting system, benches, and solar panels, etc. and environmental monitoring and mitigation measures.

Due to the primitive design of the Pier and the occasional rough sea condition, the berthing condition of the Pier is unsatisfactory, causing inconvenience to passengers, especially for kids and the elderly, when boarding and alighting. The project aims to improve the berthing condition.

Dextra delivered more than 600 meters of GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebars in straight and bending shapes for the reinforcement of the ferry pier structure.

Dextra GFRP rebar is a corrosion-free alternative to steel rebar. The continuous exposure to seawater and contaminants made it the perfect solution to substitute traditional steel rebars.
