The Wasl Tower is a 302m super-high-rise structure in downtown Dubai, surrounded by the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, and the new City Walk Development.

The tower will feature the world’s tallest ceramic façade, which will help regulate the internal temperature of the building while also reducing surrounding noise.

Moreover, vertical gardens and several shading and cooling design innovations will further minimize the building’s overall carbon footprint.

The project will comprise offices, residential areas, serviced apartments, and a 5-star Mandarin Oriental hotel, along with bars, restaurants, a spa, and a swimming pool.

With its structural concept of three 300m-high core shear walls connecting to four large outriggers, high-performance rebar couplers are required to reinforce and connect concrete beams and columns.

More than 280,000 Bartec standard couplers, weldable couplers, headed bars, and RepairGrip swaged couplers were delivered for this purpose.
