Zakhr City
Zakhr City is one of the largest real estate projects in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. This mixed-development project consists of three to four-star hotels, residential towers as well as markets, health centers, police and fire stations. It is designed to accommodate more than 200,000 people.
Since the construction site is located in a mountainous area, a bolting system was fundamental in order to secure the loose rock mass created after excavation. Dextra delivered almost 3,000 steel fully threaded Rock Bolts to stabilize the site.
The rock bolts work by knitting the unstable rock strata together before they can move enough to cause failure. Dextra offers steel and cuttable FRP rock bolts for face bolting or any other tunneling/mining application.
Dextra has been involved from the earliest stages of this project, to provide high quality products and professional support on the construction site.
