Winds may reach 40kmph and cause dusty conditions in some parts of the country
Such a rate is considered as excellent when measured by the standards of modern trains’ faults worldwide, and a testament to RTA’s commitment to provide the highest safety and security levels in the operation of the Dubai Metro. This will translate into security, safety and comfort for the metro commuters from the moment they enter the metro station till their exit; which clearly demonstrates RTA’s Vision of providing Safe and Smooth Transport for All.
Al Tayer made these comments in a tour that took him to the Control Center and Trains Maintenance and Cleaning Workshop at the Jebel Ali Depot during which he was accompanied by the CEO of Rail Agency Adnan Al Hammadi, Director of Rail Planning and Development Abdul Rida Abu Al Hasan, Director of Rail Operation Ramadan Abdullah, Director of Rail Operation Ali Abdul Qadir, and a number of engineers.
During the tour, Al Tayer was briefed by Adnan Al Hammadi about the work mechanism adopted in Jebel Ali Metro Depot which spans an area of 110 thousand square meters, and acts as a standby control center for operating the metro in case of any failure in the Control Center at Al Rashidiya. Operation tests are carried out regularly for all the facilities of Jebel Ali Metro Depot to measure their operational readiness.
Al Hammadi added that the Depot has a capacity to house 40 trains, and the workshop carries out internal cleaning of 20 trains, and body washing of 8 trains per day.
RTA Chairman of the Board and Executive Director then toured the sections of the Workshop where trains maintenance and cleaning is carried out. The Workshop is fitted with gantry cranes, sophisticated electronic systems enabling maintenance works to be done for more than one train at a time, air-conditioners and advance firefighting systems. Al Tayer inspected the safety aspects observed by the Workshop to ensure the security and safety of the staff in line with the latest and best standards of the industry worldwide. He also inspected the Control Center of trains operation systems; which ensures the safety of doors, brakes and engines of each individual train as well as the safety of air-conditioners and other sophisticated subsidiary electronic systems.
“The Dubai Metro has three depots for maintaining and cleaning trains; two for the Red Line at Al Rashidiya and Jebel Ali, and one for the Green Line at Al Qusais. It also has two Metro Operation Control Centers; one at Jebel Ali (as a contingency control center), and the other is the Main Control Center at Al Rashidiya; which acts as a watchdog of the movement of trains throughout the day to ensure the safety of commuters. It exercises full control of the daily operation of the Dubai Metro service on both the Red and Green Lines. There is a giant display monitor for both lines in addition to 37 totally separate display monitors on the Red Line and 28 monitors on the Green Line.
