Rail in the UAE: systems engineering, signalling and commissioning

From Abu Dhabi, we strengthen the teams of clients, integrators and contractors on the country's rail projects.

The market

A national network opening to passengers

Etihad Rail's national network opened passenger services in summer 2026, with a phased rollout between Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Fujairah and Sharjah. A high-speed line between Abu Dhabi and Dubai is in development.

These projects need scarce skills: signalling, systems engineering, RAMS, testing and operations. That is exactly what we deploy.

What we do

  • Signalling: ETCS, interlocking, integration testing.
  • Systems engineering and RAMS: requirements, interfaces, safety cases.
  • Electrification and power: overhead line equipment, traction substations.
  • Testing and commissioning: trial running, acceptance, handover to the operator.
  • Project controls: planning, cost, package coordination.
