Rental power and cooling for Dubai Metro construction
Construction of the first metro system in the Middle East
required innovative cooling and power rental solutions. Both cooling
and power was required to operate the Tunnel Boring
Machine (TBM) and to maintain ambient temperatures in the
tunnel for the construction workers to ensure peak performance.

Aggreko's specially designed chillers supplied cold water to
cool the TBM. The TBM machine is used to excavate the tunnels
through a variety of different geologies. When in operation the TBM
gets extremely hot and if not cooled the drill head begins to
erode.
"Aggreko's ability to provide a comprehensive solution,
including the supply of cold water and cold air from one cooling
system is helping to increase productivity and maintain humane
working conditions underground. This is critical as it helps us to
maintain the momentum during construction", said Junichiro
Nakayama, Project Manager - Bored Tunnel, Japan Turkey Metro Joint
Venture.
