Parque da Cidade, Brazil
Parque da Cidade is a multi-tower, multi-purpose green building complex located in the south of São Paulo. The project features five corporate office towers, a hotel, residential buildings, and a shopping mall.
For this project, Dextra supplied its 罗尔泰克 rebar coupler solution to contractor Odebrecht.
罗尔泰克 is the most popular rebar splicing solution in Brazil, offering a competitive alternative to lap splices and, more importantly, enabling advanced applications that simplify project management and operations.
At Parque da Cidade, 罗尔泰克 rebar couplers were used to connect columns and beams. The solution was supported by 罗尔泰克 bar-end preparation equipment installed on-site and maintained by Dextra’s local engineers.
For this application, rebar couplers were aligned horizontally within the column reinforcement at each floor and cast into concrete. Dextra provided its couplers with thread protection caps to prevent liquid concrete from leaking into the couplers.
At a later stage of the project, continuation bars were directly connected into the couplers, providing convenient starter bars for beam or slab reinforcement.
Additionally, Dextra supplied its 联合技术公司 solution for Parque da Cidade. 联合技术公司 is a bolted coupler that does not require any rebar preparation. It was used to connect rebars protruding from two precast elements.
