Construction week cited Mr Hisham Hajaj project manager of Stanley Consultants as saying that Dubai Metro is the world’s first district cooled mass transit system.
A world class distribution network provides centralized cooling via preinsulated buried steel piping to all Dubai Metro stations. 5 district cooling plants have been built specifically for the Dubai Metro with the following installed capacities:
1. Al Rigga 10,000 TR
2. Al Barsha 7,500 TR
3. Jumeirah Island 7,000 TR
4. Jebel Ali Industrial 4,400 TR
5. Al Rashidiya 7,500 TR
Mr Hajaj cited the design challenges as having to reroute existing utilities, the lack of as built documentation, unmarked utilities and the lack of space in some areas for chilled water piping. This posed specific challenges for the construction as well.
