Sellafield is a now-decommissioned nuclear plant site that specialized in fuel reprocessing and the decommissioning of other UK and international reactors. It is located in Cumbria, in the North West of England.

Dextra was involved in supplying rebar connection solutions for the construction of new buildings in 2008 through its local rebar fabricator partner in the UK.

Griptec was the preferred rebar splicing solution as it is certified for TA1-A, TA1-B, and TA1-C (“Sellafield” certification level), the three main levels of rebar splice certifications by CARES.

Griptec features an unmatched performance level and an automatic testing process that systematically tests all connections produced as part of its standard cycle—a guarantee that 100% of the connections perform above the project requirements.

More than 80,000 Griptec connections have been used on the project, mostly for wall applications.
