Dubai Metro

The Dubai Metro is a major infrastructure project that has revolutionised urban transport in the city, becoming one of the most advanced and efficient metro systems in the world. Launched in 2009, the metro spans across the city, connecting key commercial, residential, and recreational areas while promoting sustainable urban development. The system includes both elevated and underground sections, featuring state-of-the-art trains, stations, and facilities.

Design Confidence’s expert engineering and advisory services played a crucial role in the success of the Dubai Metro project, particularly in the areas of fire and life safety engineering. The consultancy was involved in conducting comprehensive fire and smoke modelling for the stations and tunnels, ensuring that safety systems were optimised for quick evacuation, smoke control, and fire containment.

The Design Confidence team also provided valuable insights on emergency planning, risk assessments, and compliance with international safety standards, contributing to the design and implementation of robust safety measures.
