Dubai RTA Completes Rehabilitation and Maintenance of Metro Tunnels
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed advanced maintenance and rehabilitation works on the tunnel infrastructure of the Dubai Metro, as part of its ongoing programme to strengthen operational safety, service reliability and long-term asset sustainability.
According to the RTA, the works were carried out under a preventive and corrective maintenance framework that uses advanced engineering solutions and technologies to support the efficiency and operational lifespan of metro tunnel infrastructure.
The programme included periodic inspections, specialised cleaning operations, technical repairs, replacement and upgrade works for ageing assets, and continuous improvement measures aimed at maintaining system performance.
Over the past year, the RTA conducted 51 specialised tunnel inspections, resulting in the completion of 873 corrective maintenance tasks. The authority said it achieved 100 percent of its preventive maintenance targets and 100 percent of its corrective maintenance targets during the period.
The RTA also continued periodic tunnel cleaning operations using a combination of manual cleaning and high-pressure washing technologies to remove dust, debris and surface build-up that could affect operational safety or efficiency.
The authority said all inspection, maintenance and rehabilitation works were carried out in line with international rail sector standards and recognised industry practices. The programme also included ongoing technical training and qualification initiatives for specialised teams to support operational readiness and align with the latest technologies and standards in mass transit systems.
