GFRP Rebar Revolutionizes
King Salman Energy Park Logistics Zone
The Logistics Zone at King Salman Energy Park (SPARK) aimed to facilitate global market access for Saudi Arabia, streamlining supply chains and enabling businesses to meet the rising demand for energy products. It includes the region’s largest private dry port, on-site customs clearance, and bonded warehouses.
A notable feature of this project was the use of Dextra’s 2.4 million meters of Glass Fiber Reinforced
Polymer (GFRP) rebar for heavy-load areas. Its corrosion resistance against moisture and chemicals makes it highly durable, especially in challenging environments like seawater.
This project was developed as part of SPARK’s commitment to transform the kingdom into a global logistics hub and increase local manufacturing, set to be operational in 2024.
Dextra’s Unwavering Commitment to Sustainability
In an era where sustainable practices have become the cornerstone of responsible corporate conduct, Dextra has emerged as a frontrunner in integrating eco-consciousness into its very fabric.
The latest testament to this steadfast commitment is the recent unveiling of our EPD (Environmental Product Declarations)-certified GFRP rebars and rebar couplers, comprising Bartec/Fortec, Griptec, and Rolltec, making us the first in the industry to achieve this independent verification milestone and publicly published results, with an aim to set a new benchmark for sustainable product development in the construction sector.
Beyond our revolutionary product line, we have been actively fostering sustainability on diverse fronts. Two recent notable initiatives involve collaborating with the local district in Thailand for a tree-planting campaign and encouraging employees to actively participate in hands-on environmental conservation efforts through beach clean-up activities.
Dextra has fostered a culture that not only prioritizes business excellence but also instills a sense of responsibility towards the preservation of natural resources.

The World’s Largest Aquarium,
Reinforced with Bartec and GFRP Rebar, Now Opens to the Public!
SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, the highly anticipated marine life theme park and animal research facility, has recently opened its doors to the public in May 2023. Located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, this project marks the first SeaWorld to be established outside of the United States.
Dextra provided a large number of Bartec couplers, which were crucial for the connection and reinforcement of columns, beams, and slabs throughout the park. These reliable couplers ensure the structural integrity of the various elements within the park’s structure.
In addition, Glass Fiber Reinforcement Polymer (GFRP) rebars were utilized in the overlay slabs of the swimming pools, effectively replacing traditional steel rebars. This choice is motivated by the superior durability and corrosion-resistant properties of GFRP, making it an ideal material for structures surrounded by water.
Dextra’s Unwavering Commitment to Sustainability
Dextra marked a significant milestone as it celebrated four decades of innovation and success alongside its esteemed partners in the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, China, and Hong Kong. The company hosted exclusive events as a gesture of appreciation for their unwavering support and collaboration throughout the years.
The celebratory events were a success, filled with memorable moments and expressions of gratitude. Dextra’s partners, representing a diverse range of projects around the world, joined in and shared their stories of success, highlighting the pivotal role played by Dextra’s innovative solutions and services.
Speaking at the events, Mr. Jean Marie Pithon, Chairman & CEO of Dextra, expressed his appreciation for the longstanding partnerships and acknowledged their invaluable contributions. He emphasized the company’s commitment to fostering mutually beneficial relationships and providing continuous support to our loyal partners and customers.
As Dextra’s global celebrations continue, its upcoming celebration will be held in India later this year to honor its Indian partners for their steadfast support, while also showcasing its latest innovations and vision for the future in this region.

Malaysia’s New MRT Line with Bartec System Now Open to Public
The Malaysian SSP Line, which opened to the public in March 2023, is the second line of Klang Valley’s MRT System. The objective of this project is to enhance Malaysia’s transportation system to meet the needs of its growing population.
Running through the heart of Kuala Lumpur and its suburbs, the SSP Line will connect Sungai Buloh to Putrajaya, featuring 35 stations, with 11 providing connections to other rail lines. The system will span over 52 km, comprising 13.5km of underground line and 38.7km of elevated rail.
To ensure the success of this extensive metro project, the contractor JV MMC-Gamuda selected Dextra as a rebar coupler manufacturer to meet the project demand and specifications. The couplers were integrated into the diaphragm walls, providing horizontal connection points for the station’s slabs during the later stages of the project.

A case study of Dextra solutions for wind farms
During the construction of the GBS, Fortec couplers were used to create temporary openings to facilitate the circulation of site personnel and materials. Several layers of Fortec were also installed as wall starter bars. Headed bars were a perfect solution for the vertical reinforcement of the foundation, reducing rebar congestion and increasing the site productivity.
Fécamp Offshore Wind Farm – Fortec couplers and headed bars Fécamp Offshore Wind Farm – headed bars as shear wall cross ties The use of couplers and headed bars improved buildability and quality, resulting in faster construction cycle and reduced labour and crane time. |

Construction trends toward faster & sustainable construction
A special interview with Meinhardt (Thailand) Ltd.
Construction industry trends in Thailand are changing toward faster construction and environmentally friendly design. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak has shifted away the demand for high-rise residential and office buildings toward low-rise industrial buildings, data centers, and hospitals.
Dr. Methee Chiewanichakorn, Associate Director, Meinhardt (Thailand) Ltd. shared with us that the use of precast systems and carbon fiber reinforcing bar is becoming increasingly popular to meet the trends, and that, in order to select the right solutions, three factors must be considered: local availability, standard certification, and ability to provide technical support.

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.
