Marks of completion of two,800 meters of tunnels and bridges and 100% of the principles of the enduring station
Dubai’s Roads and Delivery Authority (RTA) has introduced the of completion of greater than 2,000 meters of tunnel excavation works. It additionally introduced the arriving of the “Al Waqisha 1” drilling gadget on the Dragon Souq Station, the primary tunnel station within the undertaking.
As well as, greater than 800 meters of overhead bridges had been finished. The deep foundations of the enduring “Emaar Properties” station have additionally been finished at 100%. In the meantime, the deep foundations of the Dubai Creek crossing have reached 30% of completion.
The undertaking is being carried out in keeping with the licensed agenda. Arrangements are underway for its opening in September 2029.
Intimately, the Authority mentioned that the Dubai Metro Blue Line undertaking is progressing frequently and all of a sudden throughout all development phases. This contains underground and above-ground works, tunnel excavation, and the development of bridges and stations.
Newest tech
The undertaking makes use of the most recent tunnelling applied sciences and an built-in production device. Those strengthen the supply of one of the most biggest long term delivery tasks within the emirate. The undertaking displays Dubai’s imaginative and prescient of establishing a extra attached, environment friendly, and sustainable town.
The Authority defined via its virtual platforms that the large tunnel-boring gadget “Al Waqisha” finished the excavation of greater than 2,000 meters of tunnels. The paintings began from Global Town Station (1) and endured in opposition to Global Town Stations (2) and (3).
The gadget reached Dragon Souq Station on June 29. This station is the primary tunnel station throughout the undertaking. Its arrival marked the of completion of the primary segment of tunnelling works.
The Authority famous that Al Waqisha represents a complicated technology of tunnel-boring machines. It operates the usage of the most recent virtual steerage and tracking methods.
Right through excavation works, the gadget achieves a median development price of between 13 and 17 meters according to day. It will possibly achieve 30 meters according to day when running at same old drilling capability. This displays the numerous construction in tunneling generation for the reason that early phases of the Dubai Metro’s development.
Building of the stations
At the development facet, the Authority showed that the deep basis works for the enduring “Emaar Properties” station had been finished 100%.
Building of the station is these days underway. The station would be the best possible metro station on the planet, status 74 meters tall.

The tunnel ring manufacturing facility within the Global Town has produced greater than 1,700 concrete rings. This inventory is enough for roughly 3 kilometres of tunnels. It is helping boost up development, cut back implementation time, and make sure a continuing provide of structural elements.
The Authority additionally said that tunnel station works have reached 20% of completion. Civil and development works are proceeding in preparation for the arriving of tunnel-boring machines on the last undertaking websites within the subsequent phases.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Top Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, inaugurated the principle tunnel excavation works for the Dubai Metro Blue Line undertaking, which has a complete price of AED 20.5 billion and a period of 30 kilometres.

The road contains 14 stations. Those consist of 3 interchange stations, seven increased stations, and 4 underground stations.
The undertaking will serve 9 key spaces. Those spaces are anticipated to have a vital inhabitants underneath the Dubai City Plan 2040.
In line with the undertaking agenda, the of completion price is predicted to succeed in 30% through the tip of 2026. The undertaking is scheduled to open on September 9, 2029.
