The capital city of Dhaka is the busiest city in Bangladesh and the one of the densest city in the world in terms of traffic. Dhaka MRT is the city’s first-ever metro system that will carry 60,000 passengers per hour.
MRT Line 6 consists of 16 elevated stations that are each 180 m long and 20.1 km of electricity-powered light rail tracks.
Dextra supplied three solutions to the project:
- Bartec rebar splicing system for the reinforcement of the station structures.
- Sonitec, a push-fit sonic tube for concrete integrity testing of foundation piles using CSL method.
- Shear Key post tensioning bars used as permanent restrainer for the connection of elevated metro precast segments.
The first trial run of the Line 6 was carried out in August 2021, then the line will open by December 2022 as planned.
