The new Djamaa El Djazair Mosque in Algiers is a major construction project located in the eastern part of Algeria’s capital. It will feature the world’s tallest minaret, standing at 265 meters. Additionally, the vast complex will accommodate up to 120,000 worshippers.

For the main mosque building, Dextra supplied its Tension Rod Systems to China State Construction Engineering Corporation, the project’s main contractor. In total, more than 800 structural натяжной стержень assemblies, with diameters ranging from M16 to M56, are being used for the cross-bracing of the domed prayer room’s roofing structure.

Каждый натяжной стержень is painted white to match the mosque’s interior design. Bracing discs (top left picture) contribute to the architectural aesthetics of the structure.

For the construction of the building and minaret, Dextra also supplied its popular Бартек coupler solution, which is available in Algeria through our network of distributors. For more information, consult our Парижский офис.
