Steel Fabricator/Erector: Cleveland Bridge & Engineering ME Ltd, Dubai

Steel tonnage: 32,000 erected so far, 8,000 tons to go.

Consulting engineers/architects: DAR Group, Cairo, Dubai

Project Description and Experience:
The first 8000 tons of the new terminal building used standard DTI's. When Cleveland Bridge began their portion, they began to use Squirter® DTI's. Now, several hundred thousand Squirter® DTIs later, they would not change back. The project has three levels of inspection: Cleveland Bridge, the outside inspection company, and the inspectors from the owner's consultant DAR. Despite all this inspection, CBE state that they get their bolting done and approved in record time, and they tell us that's because of the visual comfort that Squirter® DTIs afford the site staff. As the bolts approach full tension, the installers and inspectors can see it, and they don't go too far. Once CBE finishes a point, it gets inspected, and there are never call-backs.
