Dubai Metro

Description:

The Dubai Metro is one of the world’s most advanced fully automated rail systems, forming a vital part of the city’s transport infrastructure and serving millions of passengers every year. Operating across an extensive elevated and underground network, the metro is exposed to a range of demanding environmental conditions such as, high temperatures, intense UV exposure, airborne sand, and seasonal humidity, all further compounded by continuous structural vibrations inherent to metro train operation.
To ensure continuous and safe operation, regular maintenance of structural and envelope components is essential, particularly in areas surrounding control centers and sensitive sensing or signaling systems.

Applied Effisus Solutions

As part of the maintenance works, Effisus Stopper was used to seal complex crossing areas along the roof and metro line interfaces. The system’s adaptability to irregular geometries and challenging configurations made it ideal for sealing penetrations, junctions and transitions where standard solutions cannot be applied. Its ability to create a robust, durable and flexible barrier ensured long-lasting protection against water infiltration and environmental exposure.

Our Added Value

Effisus Stopper provided a high-performance solution for some of the metro system’s most sensitive and intricate envelope details. By delivering watertight and airtight sealing in irregular and high-movement areas, the system helped prevent leakage risks that could compromise operational safety, electrical systems or structural performance. Its quick and reliable application supported maintenance teams in carrying out works efficiently with minimal service disruption. The system’s components made it the ideal solution for properly sealing complex crossings, ensuring full waterproofing while also accommodating movement without failure, even under the metro’s constant vibrations. Its resilience to Dubai’s harsh climate ensured long-term durability, contributing to the continued reliability and performance of one of the region’s most critical public transport networks.
