ETIHAD RAIL Stage 2 & 3 UAE

Etihad Rail Stage 2 & 3 aims to expand the UAE’s railway network by over 850 km, enhancing connectivity between ports and industries. Located 140 km from the Saudi Arabian border, the project requires rigorous geotechnical evaluation. Encardio-rite provided settlement monitoring solutions, including vibrating wire settlement profilers and settlement points, for trial embankments at Ch.: 126+300. These measures ensure the suitability of fill materials sourced from borrow pits for long-term embankment stability.

ETIHAD RAIL Stage 2 & 3 UAE

Etihad rail plays a major role in the ongoing growth of the conventional rail in the Middle East region. The project will provide the much-needed connectivity between the ports and the industries. The existing and currently operated network of 264km will be expanded by over 600km in Stage 2 and 250km in Stage 3.

The project is approximately 140km away from the Saudi Arabian border from Ghweitat to Ruwais Junction (Abu Dhabi).

The Trial Embankment is being constructed in the Rail Head Area at approx. Ch.: 126+300. A trial Embankment is required to be constructed in order to test the suitability of fill material that would be obtained from the proposed borrow pits to ensure that the material can be used for the construction of permanent embankments.

Encardio Rite's scope of work includes the installation and monitoring of vibrating wire settlement profilers and settlement points for monitoring vertical settlement or heave in the trial embankment.
