Phuoc Khanh bridge is a 4.7-kilometer cable-stayed bridge linking Ho Chi Minh City with Dong Nai. The bridge is part of the southern Vietnam’s longest highway, Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway, running through Long An province, Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai province. When completed, the highway will connect the south-western region with the south-eastern region of the country, facilitating the transportation between the two parts of the country with improved traffic flow and larger lanes. The project aims to develop the socio-economic activities of this area.

Dextra post-tensioning bars for permanent applications of the bridge

For the construction of the Phuoc Khanh Bridge, Dextra is supplying its post-tensioning bar systems as permanent post-tensioning anchors. Over 250 high performance fully-threaded post-tensioning bars and over 200 smooth bar systems were delivered to site. Also known as PT bars, they are specifically designed for post-tensioned applications. They can be corrosion-protected as is the case for the equipment supplied in the project. The corrosion protection is done in a controlled facility in Dextra’s factory, before being shipped to site.
