    Overhead gantries were used to construct viaduct sections for the Dubai Metro light rail system. The gantries carried precast deck elements and were designed to withstand various loading configurations and site conditions. Engineers developed loading regimes for the gantries throughout the design process as different gantry configurations were considered to account for multiple span arrangements and access issues.
