Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum

Louvre Abu Dhabi is an innovative art and civilization museum located North of Abu Dhabi city, capital city of the United Arab Emirates. It is the largest museum in the Arabian peninsula, with a total surface of 24,000 square meters. The Louvre Museum Abu Dhabi opened its doors on the 11th of November 2017.

For this project, Dextra has been involved on the concrete works between 2013 and 2014, supplying Bartec rebar coupler solution to Arabtec for all rebar connections in raft and columns. Couplers were also used to a way to create temporary openings in the reinforcement structure to allow passage of men and equipment. A total of 110,000 Bartec rebar couplers were supplied for this project.

The Bartec solution is a solution approved by the DCL (Dubai Central Laboratory), making its use possible in the UAE. All threading services to prepare the rebar used at Louvre Abu Dhabi were performed by Dextra's network of distributors.
