Geotechnical Design for Six Rail Micro Stations – Abu Dhabi

Project overview

Super Arc Consultant (SAC) provided geotechnical design and earthworks recommendations for six rail micro station sites.

Scope of work

Review of site data for the six station sites.

Recommendation of foundation systems.

Grading and drainage recommendations.

Ground improvement measures.

Draft and final reports, with meetings and recommendations for the project team.

Value delivered

The six stations were given foundation, grading and ground improvement recommendations based on the data for each site.

Engineering context

Separate sites on a rail network can differ in ground levels, drainage and soil. Reviewing each site individually allows the foundation, grading and ground improvement recommendations to match its conditions instead of repeating one solution.
