Orhideea Towers, Romania
Orhideea Towers is a double-tower office complex located in the western part of Bucharest. The towers stand 85 meters (17 floors) and 64 meters (13 floors) tall, respectively, and are connected by a sky bridge.
For this project, Dextra supplied its 福泰克 rebar coupler solution. The 福泰克 system consists of a standard rebar coupler, used for both standard and 定位连接, connected to two rebar ends that have been enlarged and threaded. 福泰克 is particularly suitable for seismic environments, making it ideal for buildings in the Bucharest area.
Fortec couplers were used for all 钢筋/增强筋 connections in the heavily reinforced foundation mat (1.5 meters thick). Their compact design eliminates the need for overlapping rebar in congested areas, simplifying installation.
Additionally, 福泰克 couplers facilitated temporary openings, allowing workers and equipment to move through the 钢筋/增强筋. Before casting, continuation bars were simply connected to the couplers, closing the temporary openings.
