Dubai LRT Viaduct Design

Country:

UAE

Client:

Atkins/ JTM Joint Venture

Construction Value:
The new Dubai LRT includes over 42km of post-tensioned viaduct
carrying the 14T axle, 4-carriageway trains over the busy urban
environment.
We led the detailed design and erection engineering of the post tensioned
viaduct deck. The decks were mainly simple supported girders erected
using a number of gantries on a span by span basis.
In addition to the simple supported spans a number of two span
continuous deck structures were designed for the station and crosscover
areas.
A value engineering exercise was undertaken to optimise the quantities
and buildability of the deck units given the high repeatability over the
project.
