The Dubai Metro urban train network is a major transport infrastructure development that is already being used by over 200,000 rail travellers a day.
It carried 10 million passengers in its first six months of operation and will soon become the World’s longest fully automated metro network, surpassing the Vancouver Skytrain by one kilometre.
Over 60,000m2 of ComFlor® 80 composite floor decking has been used in 38 stations, on footbridges, walkways, platforms and all elevated public areas.
ComFlor® case study Dubai Metro Project, United Arab Emirates
“The Dubai Metro will soon become the
World’s longest fully automated metro network.” The Dubai Metro is an ultra-modern, driverless, fully automated metro network in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai. It is the first urban train network in the Arabian
Peninsula.
It carried 10 million passengers in its first six months of operation and will soon become the World’s longest fully automated metro network, surpassing the Vancouver Skytrain by one kilometre.
Two lines are nearing completion, with three further lines planned. The Red Line is now operational and The Green Line is expected to complete in August 2011. These first two lines run underground in the city centre and on elevated viaducts elsewhere.
All trains and stations are air conditioned.
The Red and Green lines will ultimately be serviced by 35 overground stations, 12 underground, three depots and three car parks. Each station has been designed to also serve as mini shopping centre.
