Commissioned by the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA),
the Al Sufouh Tram System compliments the Dubai Metro
by linking the Dubai Marina via Media and Internet cities
through Al Sufouh to the Mall of the Emirates. The first
phase will be fully operational by the end of 2014.
During 2013, the RTA awarded Alstom Transportation
a 13 year contract for the maintenance of the complete
system. Whilst Alstom are world leaders in tramway
systems, the maintenance of the built assets is not core
to their business, therefore Alstom engaged COFELY
BESIX as a long term partner to whom it has entrusted the
maintenance of the built assets.
