RTA completes rail grinding and overhauls 79 Dubai Metro trains

Works accomplished are in line with the highest safety and quality standards for passenger comfort

Dubai. Roads and Transport Authority. 9th December 2024

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has completed the maintenance and refurbishment of metro trains as well as rail grinding works, as part of its annual preventive maintenance programme. This process aims to enhance the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of Dubai Metro assets, and aligns with RTA’s Strategic Plan 2030, reflecting Dubai’s commitment to sustainable urban transport and reinforcing Dubai Metro’s position as a vital asset in the emirate’s public transportation system.

Key maintenance activities included rail grinding along the Red and Green Lines of the Dubai Metro, covering a total length of 189 km. Rail grinding is essential for removing surface defects and restoring the original specifications of the railway tracks, thereby extending the lifespan of these critical assets.

These efforts reflect RTA’s commitment to implementing the highest safety and quality standards for passenger comfort. RTA utilised advanced grinding equipment, fitted with 16 grinding stones and operated by trained teams, to ensure the long-term safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of the rail infrastructure.

Train Overhaul and Maintenance

RTA has completed the refurbishment of its fleet of 79 trains, which collectively travelled over 1.5 million kilometres since Dubai Metro launch. This programme, which included comprehensive maintenance and refurbishment, has elevated train availability and punctuality to 99.7%, positioning Dubai Metro among the most reliable metro systems worldwide. The process also minimises the likelihood of future corrective maintenance, reducing long-term costs and enhancing operational efficiency.

Hassan Al Mutawa, Director of Rail Maintenance at RTA’s Rail Agency, stated:
“The preventive maintenance programme is a cornerstone of our commitment to operational excellence and sustainability for Dubai Metro. Through initiatives like rail grinding and the refurbishment of the train fleet, we consistently ensure the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the entire network. These measures enhance infrastructure sustainability, reduce costs, and uphold environmental responsibility, aligning with our vision for a carbon-free future. Our goal is not just to meet global standards but to set new benchmarks for urban transportation, providing passengers with a safe, comfortable, and reliable travel experience.”
