Sellafield is a now decommissioned nuclear plant site specialized in the fuel reprocessing and decommissioning of others UK and international reactors. It is located in Cumbria, in the North West of England.

Dextra has been involved in supplying rebar connection solution for the construction of new buildings in 2008 through its local rebar fabricator partner in the UK.

Griptec was the preferred rebar splicing solution as it's if certified TA1-A, TA1-B and TA1-C (“Sellafield” certification level), the three main levels of rebar splice certifications by CARES.

Griptec features an unmatched performance level and an automatic testing process which systematically tests all the connections produced as part of its standard cycle: a guarantee that 100% of the connections perform above the project requirement.

More than 80,000 Griptec connections have been used on the project, mostly for wall applications.
