Dextra played a pivotal role in the construction of the Central Kowloon Route (CKR) – Central Tunnel project in Hong Kong by supplying Fortec+ couplers, along with steel rock bolts, expandable friction bolts, umbrella pipes, and post-tensioning bars for tunneling works. These mechanical rebar couplers were integral in ensuring strong and reliable connections within the road tunnel structure, meeting the stringent requirements for safety and durability.
The CKR, a major infrastructure project aimed at improving traffic flow across Kowloon, required advanced construction techniques. Dextra’s Fortec+ couplers, used in locations such as precast panels, tunnel access points, and driveways, contributed significantly to the project’s structural integrity and long-term performance. The Fortec+ system includes a rebar preparation process in which the threaded bar end is proof tested with a tensile load, ensuring non-destructive testing within the elastic zone of the reinforcing bar.

Dextra, the leading provider of construction solutions, has received official approval for Fortec+ from the Buildings Department (BD) of the Government of Hong Kong. This approval marks a significant milestone not only for Dextra but also for the entire construction sector in the region.
The approval granted by the BD signifies the endorsement of Fortec+’s cutting-edge parallel thread mechanical splice system. This innovative solution has been proven to offer unprecedented efficiency, reliability, and safety in structural projects.
As the regulatory authority responsible for overseeing building construction and safety standards in Hong Kong, the BD’s endorsement serves as a testament to the reliability and compliance of Fortec+’s technology with local regulations and industry best practices.
“Bar Break” splicing system
Fortec+ is a complete tensile splice system, ensuring bar-break performance of up to 800MPa under tensile load.
Compliant with Hong Kong standards
Fortec+ meets the Buildings Department’s Code of Practice for Structural Use of Concrete 2013 and is listed on the Central Data Bank List of Building Materials.
Reliable solution
The Plus (+) entails additional testing of proof load, ensuring the most reliable connections through a single set of thread preparation equipment.
Technical support
Our team in Hong Kong are available to accompany you through each step of the design process using readily available CAD/BIM tools and during onsite installation.

大巴黎快车是法国首都周围的一个主要城市交通项目。该项目将新增4条线路（15、16、17和18号线），并延长两条现有线路（11和14号线）。
Dextra 已通过其当地经销商合作伙伴参与了多个电台的包装。特别是在 14 号线上，Dextra 为 Orsay 和 Pont Cardinet 车站提供了 Fortec 钢筋连接器。
对于位于巴黎北部地铁 4 号线和未来 15 号线交叉口的 Bagneux 车站，Dextra 提供了 ASTEC 主动锚。
ASTEC 主动锚是地铁车站工程的首选解决方案，因为隧道掘进机和土方设备可以在任何阶段简单地切割锚的 FRP 筋，从而消除了不可靠且成本高昂的锚拆除的需要。该解决方案已获得咨询公司 SYSTRA 的批准用于该项目。
继中东众多成功项目之后，这是 ASTEC 主动锚（Dextra 最近的一项创新）首次在欧洲安装。
Orhideea Towers是一座双塔办公楼综合体，位于布加勒斯特西部。两座塔楼分别高85m（17层）和64米（13层）。两座塔通过天桥连接。
在该项目中，Dextra 参与提供了 Fortec 钢筋连接器解决方案。 Fortec 解决方案由一个标准钢筋连接器组成，用于标准和定位应用，连接到预先放大和螺纹连接的两个钢筋端部。Fortec 特别适合地震环境施工，布加勒斯特的建筑物就是这种情况区域。
Fortec 连接器已用于在高度加固的基础垫（1.5 米厚）中提供所有加固连接。 Fortec 连接器相对紧凑，避免了在拥挤环境中重叠钢筋的繁琐任务。
Fortec 连接器还提供临时开口，允许人员和设备在钢筋周围移动。在铸造之前，延续杆只需连接到耦合器，填充临时开口间隙。
Trinity Tower 位于巴黎西部拉德芳斯商业区，是一座 33 层、140 米高的全新办公大楼，将拥有超过 52,000 平方米的办公空间。
该项目旨在通过增加大型户外公共空间来重新连接先前被道路断开的区域，从而实现当地的社会和环境影响。它还将设有绿色空间、屋顶空间、开放式外墙，并将获得 LEEDS 认证。
对于该项目，Dextra 通过其法国经销商 SNAAM Vernon 供应了超过 18,000 个 福泰克® 钢筋连接。
钢筋连接器提供一种快速、安全的钢筋连接方式，可以加快施工速度：一次一根钢筋，通过捆扎或笼子连接。对于捆扎和笼子，可以在场外组装，并在到达最终位置后通过耦合器简单地重新连接。
Trinity 塔预计于 2019 年竣工。
