The i-Towers are a three-building mixed-use estate project located in the heart of the new Central Business District of Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana.

The project was designed and built by Murray & Roberts Botswana and features a 21-story residential tower, a 14-story office tower, a commercial building, and parking spaces.

For this new Gaborone landmark, Dextra supplied its Bartec rebar coupler solutions, the leading rebar splicing solution used in Botswana and South Africa.

Bartec is often the preferred solution for high-rise projects due to the reliability of its rebar preparation process, its high-performance level, and the productivity gains it offers during reinforcement installation.

In total, more than 20,000 Bartec rebar couplers were used for columns and slabs in the two i-Towers.
