Railway Project – Al Ruwais, Abu Dhabi
The Railway Project in Al Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, developed by the globally recognized China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC), represents a critical leap forward in the UAE’s national transportation infrastructure. This project is part of the wider Etihad Rail network, designed to link the emirates and streamline logistics across the country and the region.
Constructed over 30 months, this railway segment in the Al Ruwais industrial zone plays a vital role in connecting key energy, industrial, and logistics hubs. CSCEC, known for its large-scale infrastructure expertise, implemented state-of-the-art railway engineering technologies to ensure safety, durability, and operational excellence.
The scope included the design and construction of railway tracks, bridges, culverts, underpasses, and freight terminals, with strict adherence to international standards. The route was designed to support heavy-load freight operations, offering seamless connections to ports and key logistical centers, thus reducing truck dependency and improving carbon footprint.
The architecture and civil design components incorporated high-tensile materials, automated track-laying systems, and environmentally responsible construction practices. The project reflects UAE’s Vision 2030, emphasizing sustainable and integrated transport solutions for long-term economic diversification.
CSCEC’s role in delivering this advanced railway segment has solidified its position as a global leader in mega infrastructure projects. The Railway Project stands as a strategic asset, boosting efficiency in cargo movement, and ultimately strengthening the logistical backbone of the UAE.
This development is a strong example of cross-border collaboration, showcasing how innovation and engineering excellence come together to build the future of transportation.
