Mumbai Metro Line 2B, India

The Mumbai Metro Line 2B, an essential link connecting several key areas of the city, is a significant infrastructure project aimed at alleviating Mumbai’s traffic congestion and providing efficient public transport. As part of this ambitious project, Dextra has made a valuable contribution, supplying engineered construction materials to ensure the durability and reliability of the structure.

CR Bar 1080 for U-Girder Stressing and Pre-Tensioning

One of the critical components of the project is the elevated section of the metro, which relies on U-girders for support. To enhance the strength and resilience of these U-girders, Dextra supplied its innovative CR Bar 1080 cold-rolled fully threaded post-tensioning bars. These bars, with a diameter of 75mm, are specifically designed to withstand high stress during both U-girder stressing and pre-tensioning operations. The hexagonal nuts provided as part of the system allow for secure fastening and easy adjustment, ensuring precise tensioning to meet the structural demands.

Fully Threaded (FT) Bar for Segment Stitching and Temporary Stressing

For segment stitching and temporary stressing operations during the construction of the metro viaduct, Dextra supplied its fully threaded (FT) bars. These bars provide secure connections between precast segments and offer flexibility for adjustments during the stitching process, ensuring that the structural alignment is perfect before the segments are permanently joined.

Unitec Couplers for Rebar Connections

In addition, Dextra supplied Unitec couplers, designed for connecting rebars at construction sites without the need for pre-threading. These couplers offer a convenient and robust solution, allowing for seamless connection of two rebars, ensuring structural continuity and strength without delays in the construction process.

Sonitec CSL Testing Tubes for Concrete Pile Integrity

In addition to supplying post-tensioning bars, Dextra also provided Sonitec Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL) testing tubes for the integrity testing of the concrete piles supporting the metro structures. These tubes enable highly accurate non-destructive testing of the concrete, allowing engineers to detect any potential flaws or weaknesses in the piles. This testing is vital for ensuring the piles meet the necessary strength and quality standards, thereby supporting the entire metro system safely and effectively.

Enhancing Metro Connectivity with Quality Solutions

As the Mumbai Metro Line 2B progresses towards completion, Dextra’s contributions to the project highlight its role in providing advanced engineering solutions for infrastructure development. The combination of CR Бар 1080 for post-tensioning, fully threaded bars for segment stitching, Unitec couplers for rebar connection, and Sonitec CSL testing tubes for pile integrity showcases Dextra’s commitment to quality, innovation, and safety in major construction projects.

By contributing to this key metro line, Dextra is playing a part in shaping the future of urban mobility in Mumbai, ensuring that the metro system will be reliable and capable of supporting the city’s growing transportation needs for years to come.

San Shek Wan Sewage Treatment Works, Hong Kong

Опубликовано на Август 2, 2024Август 2, 2024 от Kansuda Visesthanakorn

San Shek Wan Sewage Treatment Works, Hong Kong

The San Shek Wan Sewage Treatment Works (STW) project in Hong Kong marks a significant step towards addressing the sewage disposal needs of the South Lantau region. As the population of South Lantau is projected to grow, with an ultimate population reaching approximately 12,600 by 2039, the sewage flow is anticipated to increase to 5,800 m³/day. To accommodate this, a comprehensive sewerage system is being constructed, which includes a trunk sewerage system for Pui O area, a secondary STW at San Shek Wan, and a village sewerage system for Lo Uk.

A critical component of this ambitious infrastructure project is the use of advanced materials and technologies to ensure its successful and sustainable completion. Dextra, a global leader in engineered construction products, has played a pivotal role by supplying Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) soil nails for the excavation and lateral support (ELS) works.

The Role of GFRP Soil Nails in ELS Works

The excavation and lateral support works are essential to the project’s foundation and stability. The challenging geotechnical conditions in Hong Kong, characterized by complex soil and rock formations, necessitate the use of robust and reliable reinforcement solutions. GFRP soil nails, provided by Dextra, are ideal for such conditions due to their high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight nature.

GFRP soil nails are used to stabilize slopes and excavations, preventing landslides and soil erosion. Their corrosion resistance is particularly beneficial in environments exposed to moisture and chemicals, such as sewage treatment works. This ensures a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance costs compared to traditional steel reinforcement.

Benefits of Dextra’s GFRP Solutions

Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel, GFRP does not corrode when exposed to harsh environmental conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for the wet and chemically aggressive conditions present in sewage treatment works.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: GFRP offers a high tensile strength comparable to steel but at a fraction of the weight. This ease of handling and installation translates to time and labor savings.
Durability: The longevity of GFRP soil nails ensures the structural integrity of the excavation and lateral support systems over the extended operational life of the sewage treatment works.
Устойчивое развитие: By using GFRP, the project reduces its reliance on steel, thereby contributing to more sustainable construction practices.

Impact on the San Shek Wan STW Project

Dextra’s involvement and the implementation of GFRP soil nails have significantly enhanced the efficiency and sustainability of the San Shek Wan STW project. The advanced materials have ensured that the excavation and lateral support works are not only robust and reliable but also cost-effective over the long term.

Upon completion, the sewage from South Lantau will be conveyed to the newly constructed STW for proper treatment. The treated effluent will then be safely discharged into the sea about 1.4 km off the South Lantau coast, ensuring minimal environmental impact. This project represents a crucial infrastructure upgrade that will support the region’s growth and development while maintaining high environmental and operational standards.
