Big thanks to our dedicated team whose hard work and commitment have made this expansion possible. Once again, here’s to new beginnings, endless opportunities, and continued growth!

Jal Jeevan Mission Water Reservoirs, India

Jal Jeevan Mission Water Reservoirs, India

 

The Jal Jeevan Mission of the Government of India is a flagship initiative where attempts are made to ensure adequate supplies of quality drinking water at affordable rates on a long-term basis. It emphasizes the importance of proper water management, infrastructure development, and community participation to achieve the ambitious goal of ‘Har Ghar Jal’ (Water to Every Household).

Considering the widespread geography of India, uneven terrain, and human settlements in remote locations, access to continuous water is a challenge. Therefore, overhead tanks are a good option for efficiently storing and distributing water, particularly in areas with inconsistent water supply patterns. Construction and infrastructure development are yet another key factors that have a direct influence on development.

Precast construction is one such method that has gained tremendous momentum in recent times due to its advantages, such as accelerated productivity, better quality control, environmental friendliness, and optimized material and labor usage. Although this method incurs high initial setup costs, its attractiveness is enhanced by large-scale projects with standardized designs. In the project, our team worked in close coordination with Larsen & Toubro (L&T) from the design stage, carefully selecting Groutec and Bartec couplers to connect the H and U frames of the overhead tanks.

Our range of Groutec couplers is arguably the most reliable mechanical splices, specially designed to connect two precast elements with no requirement for in-situ wet concrete joints. These couplers have been successfully qualified and tested over the years on several major infrastructure projects, including process plant pipe racks, residential and commercial buildings, and data centers, among others.

Tai Po Railway Pier – Reconstruction of Tai Po Kau Tide Gauge Station

Tai Po Railway Pier – Reconstruction of Tai Po Kau Tide Gauge Station, Hong Kong

 

In the dynamic coastal landscape of Tai Po Kau, New Territories, Hong Kong, infrastructure projects demand robust and resilient solutions. One such endeavor, the Reconstruction of Tai Po Kau Tide Gauge Station project, required innovative materials to withstand the unique challenges posed by its environment. Dextra stepped in to provide approximately 1,000 meters of Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebar for the slab of the Tai Po Railway Pier, showcasing the efficacy of advanced composite materials in marine construction.

The Tai Po Kau Tide Gauge Station project aimed to revitalize the existing infrastructure, enhancing its resilience against tidal forces, corrosion, and environmental degradation. Recognizing the limitations of traditional steel reinforcement in marine environments, the project sought alternatives that could offer superior durability and longevity. Dextra’s GFRP rebar emerged as the ideal solution, offering exceptional resistance to corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation commonly associated with saltwater exposure.

GFRP rebar, composed of high-strength glass fibres embedded in a polymer matrix, delivers mechanical properties comparable to steel but with added benefits. Notably, GFRP rebar exhibits significantly lower thermal conductivity, reducing the risk of thermal bridging and enhancing structural integrity in extreme temperature variations. Furthermore, its non-magnetic properties eliminate electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for sensitive applications such as tide gauge stations.

The application of GFRP rebar within the Tai Po Kau Tide Gauge Station project encompassed both straight and bend bars, catering to the diverse structural requirements of the public pier. Dextra’s expertise in custom fabrication ensured precise bending and shaping of the rebar to fit the intricate geometries of the pier structure, facilitating seamless integration and minimizing construction complexities.

Nestlé LEO Factory, Thailand

 

Nestlé LEO Factory’s reliance on precast elements necessitated a reliable, efficient method for joining the precast structure of the building. The construction utilized Groutec F, a well-known splicing system engineered by Dextra, to meet the exacting demands of the precast building. Groutec F allows for the connection of rebars without the need for bar end preparation and was used for the precast joint connection of beam and column in this project.

Groutec F is a fully grouted connection solution, ensuring robustness and durability in the face of dynamic operational environments. Engineered and manufactured in compliance with industry-leading standards such as Eurocode 2, BS 8110, ACI 318, IBC, and AASHTO, Groutec F guarantees adherence to rigorous structural specifications. It is compatible with major non-shrink grout brands readily available on the market, reducing logistical complexities and procurement lead times.

One Lake Club, Romania

 

One Lake Club is a prestigious project promises to redefine luxury living in the Romanian capital. It aims to set new standards in urban living, offering residents an unparalleled blend of elegance, comfort, and functionality. The project encompasses a range of residential and recreational facilities, including luxury apartments, lush green spaces, and state-of-the-art amenities. With its ambitious vision and meticulous attention to detail, One Lake Club represents a beacon of modern architectural excellence in Bucharest.

As construction progresses on this ambitious venture, ensuring the structural integrity of the building is paramount. This is where Dextra’s Bartec couplers come into play. Renowned for their reliability and versatility, Bartec BF couplers provide robust connections between reinforcing bars, enhancing the strength and durability of concrete structures. In the case of the One Lake Club project, these couplers are specifically tailored for temporary opening applications, offering flexibility and efficiency in construction processes.

The 12mm Bartec BF couplers serve as the linchpin in the construction workflow, enabling seamless integration of reinforcing bars within the concrete framework. Their innovative design ensures quick and easy installation, minimizing construction time while maximizing safety and performance. By facilitating temporary openings in the concrete structure, these couplers enable efficient access for maintenance, inspection, and future modifications, thereby streamlining the construction process and ensuring long-term durability.

Uniqlo & Hive Indonesia Warehouse

 

Indonesia’s building construction has spurred a need for rapid and efficient construction methods capable of meeting the demands of a burgeoning population. Precast construction has emerged as a solution to these challenges as it helps minimize on-site labor requirements, accelerates project timelines, and ensures consistent quality.

At the heart of successful precast construction lies the seamless connection between structural elements. Dextra supplied Groutec precast couplers for projects around the world, including Indonesia. Groutec in size 20mm were used in the Uniqlo & Hive Indonesia warehouse building project for joining precast columns, facilitating rapid and reliable assembly while ensuring structural integrity.

The couplers have minimized on-site labor requirements and accelerated project milestones. This not only translates to cost savings but also ensures timely delivery, allowing the building to fulfill its intended purpose sooner. Additionally, the couplers’ high-strength steel composition and stringent quality control measures guarantee robust connections that withstand the rigors of dynamic structural loads.
