This multi-phase project, developed by Hyosung Group, includes the construction of:

• A propane dehydrogenation (PDH) production plant
• A polypropylene (PP) plant
• A liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tank
• Warehouses for LPG and petrochemical products

The entire complex will span 60 hectares within the Cai Mep Industrial Zone in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, near Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Dextra is supporting the construction of the 240,000-ton LPG underground storage facility by supplying 30,000 units of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rock bolts. These bolts are used to consolidate the cavern rock face around the 150-meter-deep excavation area.

To effectively prevent oil leakage, seawater will be injected into the surrounding rock, creating a water curtain. Given the highly corrosive environment, GFRP rock bolts are the ideal solution due to their corrosion resistance.

Advantages of Dextra GFRP Rock Bolts:

• Cuttable mining anchors based on fully threaded GFRP tendons
• Available in seven diameters (ranging from 20 mm to 40 mm)
• Delivered with GFRP plates and nuts
• Lightweight, making them easy to handle, transport, and install inside the tunnel

The facilities are expected to begin commercial operation in 2020.
