Jumeirah Beach Residence is a long waterfront residential complex located along the Persian Gulf in the marina of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The residential area comprises more 40 towers, many of them reaching the 40 floors mark. In total, the Jumeirah Beach Residence can host more than 15,000 people.

Dextra Middle-East, also located in Dubai, has been involved between 2003 and 2005 on numerous tower packages.

Foundations piles

In order to provide vertical connection in foundation piles, Dextra supplied through its partners fabricators its popular Bartec rebar coupler solution, the #1 rebar splicing solution in the Middle East.

As a complement to couplers, more than 70,000 meters of Sonitec tubes were also supplied to the piling contractor to offer a practical and safe way to assemble sonic tubes, boosting productivity.

Raft and Columns

Bartec couplers were also used for the horizontal connection in the thick foundation rafts, and vertically in the protruding columns.

Corewall-to-beam applications

In the superstructure itself, Dextra couplers were used as horizontal connection points between the corewall and the beams.

For that application, couplers are cast in the corewall flush with the formwork. A thread protection cap supplied by Dextra protects the concrete from leaking in the Bartec coupler.

At a later stage, continuation rebar, previously prepared with Bartec threads, are connected into the pending couplers to create starter bars.
