Client : Government of Dubai Location : Dubai, United Arab Emirates Architect : Japan – Turkey, Metro Joint Venture Project Value : 4.2 billion USD Completion Date : September 2009 Services • Mechanical • Electrical • Vertical Transportation • Fire Protection

The new Dubai Metro, will be one of the most advanced urban rail systems in the world, and will be the catalyst for tourism, financial and economic growth.

Designed to relieve growing motor traffic and support the significant continuing urban development of Dubai, the completed network will service 1.2 million passengers a day and 355 million passengers per year.

EEC Lincolne Scott was engaged to partake in the design of the M&E systems for the rail system’s Red Line which connects Al Rashidaya and Jebel Ali Port.

The Red Line is comprised of 35 kilometres of track and 25 stations, 4 of which are underground. The whole 52.1km is expected to take 60 minutes to travel, with an estimated 32,000 passengers per hour.
The system has expanded to include the Green line, and will eventually be expanded to include the Blue and Purple Lines providing a total of 318 kilometres of track.

Responsible for the main depot at Rashidaya, the auxiliary depot at Jebel Ali and two special stations, EEC Lincolne Scott’s scope of work included the mechanical, electrical, sanitary, fire protection and transportation services.
EEC Lincolne Scott worked in close contact with the client and the project design manager WS Atkins & Partners Overseas. The role also required close coordination with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries who were responsible for the design and installation of all maintenance equipment and systems.

As the project was delivered fast-track and construction was underway as the design progressed, EEC Lincolne Scott maintained close liaison with the construction consortium’s program.

The first phase of the Red Line opened in late 2009. The entire metro including the Green, Blue and Purple Lines is expected to open in 2020.
