Bridge and viaduct supports. The expansion of transport networks in the United Arab Emirates has demanded the highest level of expertise from industrial component suppliers. In this new interview with David, head of Cacesa<\/b>, we analyze firsthand the details of the supply and certification of the damping systems used on the Dubai Metro’s<\/a> Orange Line<\/i>, a project that consolidates our track record in the international rail sector. <\/p>\n To understand the scale of the project, it’s necessary to analyze the type of route this mass transit system follows. Below, Pedro and David detail the physical characteristics of this metro network and how the structural solution was developed in Spain. <\/p>\n \u2014 There’s another metro project you’re working on that I’d like to ask you about now, which is the Orange Line of the Dubai Metro. In the other project, you built a viaduct; here, the metro line itself is also a bridge so the trains run above it. Tell us a little about its exact location and what kind of infrastructure it is. <\/b><\/p>\n \u2014 Well, as Pedro has already told you, this is the Dubai Metro. I’m not entirely sure if it was a metro line, though; I remember it being the orange line, and it’s somewhat similar to what was done in Doha. They’re elevated bridges, I think I remember a section of them, and that’s where the supports are used to hold up the beams that support the train tracks\u2014the pillars. <\/p>\n In regions with desert climates, the simplicity and high strength of the materials are key factors in avoiding complex maintenance in the future. This section confirms the unique solution adopted for the bridges on the line. <\/p>\n \u2014 In this case it’s the same as the other one, I suppose the solution you’re providing is elastomeric supports and there’s no other material.<\/b><\/p>\nThe context of the project: High-speed infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates<\/h2>\n
