The
Deira Waterfront Development is located in the northern portion of the
existing Deira District across the street from the old Souq, overlooking
the famous Dubai Creek. The first stage of this development was to
address imminent issues associated with parking. A multi-storey car park
structure was thus built under Contract AC1130870 under Plot-11.
The
Dubai Metro Green Line tunnel was in close proximity to the
multi-storey car park construction area. As the project involved heavy
construction activities quite adjacent to the tunnel, monitoring became
necessary for the safety of the existing metro tunnel. The deep
excavations for the multi-storey car park also required extensive
monitoring.
Encardio-rite was awarded the sub-contract for the
monitoring work of the project. The scope of work included conducting a
pre-construction condition survey (dilapidation) of the metro tunnel,
supply, installation, manual monitoring & surveying and online
monitoring of critical parameters and areas.
This project was
successfully completed despite the challenge of installing sensors in
the existing metro tunnel as the running of the metro trains only
allowed the team to work for 2 hours at midnight.
Automatic as
well as manual monitoring data was available online through our web
based data management system to the Contractor, Client and the
Consultant in a tabular as well as in informative graphical formats,
with predefined alarms.
