Client: EBRD / CTA

The objective of the project is to improve the quality, efficiency and management organization of the CTA, by means of a model garage approach. This should lead to a more attractive service for users, while at the same time establishing an improved and more efficiency means of managing operational and management performance at the level of each CTA garage. Whilst modernization has been attempted previously through pilot schemes to demonstrate best practice and high quality exemplars, their success has been limited by the partial impact on both users and the organization itself.
By converting an entire garage to modern, comfortable vehicles, by greatly improving facilities and
maintenance and through an overhaul of administration and organisational responsibilities and reporting
lines, it is intended to produce a step change in quality which will be readily noticed by both users of the
public transport system and by non-users, who will, accordingly, be tempted to change their mode of
transport. At the same time, it is intended to improve radically the level of emissions from buses, and
thus contribute to the serious air quality issues experienced in the Greater Cairo area.

Description of actual services provided by your staff within the assignment:

  • Prepare the Model Garage Concept
  • Selection of buses to be replaced
  • Analyze the choice of bus type and fuel source (CNG versus diesel engines)

The railway alignment provides a full line speed of 200km/h for passenger and 120km/h for freight with long straights and large radii curves.

The main line railway (outside of railway yards and facilities) has numerous grade separated crossings which will be developed in coordination with local authorities, landowners and/or road users.

The first stage of the UAE Railway Project is Stage 0, referred to as the Shah Habshan Ruwais Section which runs from Ruwais to Shah via Habshan. This Invitation to Prequalify refers solely to the works for the SHR to allow operation of freight trains between the sulphur loading facilities at Habshan and Shah and the unloading facility at Ruwais, and prepare for the future expansion of the network to freight and passenger services.
