Big Box Retail is a new four-story retail center designed to have the smallest possible carbon footprint, featuring an innovative optimization of the air-conditioning load.

Located in Jebel Ali, Dubai, UAE, the center spans 81,000 square meters and offers a leasable area for over 100 retail and concept stores.

Dextra’s Groutec couplers, integrated into the precast panels, made on-site assembly quick and efficient. More than 1,100 units of Groutec L in 25mm and 32mm sizes were supplied.

Groutec is a high-performance precast connection solution that is easy to set up and fast to install on-site using grout injection. It supports the connection of precast concrete columns, panels, and beams.

The first phase of the retail center is set for completion in 2019, while the second phase will introduce a residential area, creating a new lifestyle hub in Dubai.
