About Monorail Cairo

Cairo Monorail will utilize 70 fully automated, driverless Bombardier INNOVIA monorail 300 trains, which feature four cars each. Made of extruded aluminum panels, the trains are corrosion-resistant and recyclable

The 6th of October City line will begin at Boulak (Gameat El Dewal), linking Ring Road, El Marioutia, El Mansouria, the Desert Road (Cairo/Alexandria), Hyperone, Jouhina, Authority of Urban Communities, El Hosary, Dar El Fouad, the Industrial Zone, and High Speed Railway stops.

The Cairo Monorails Project consists of precast concrete guideway beams used for a monorail system in a highly urban environment. Much of the alignment is designed along major highways and moves between the median of existing roadways to the shoulders to avoid large highway crossings or accommodate stations and then return to the medians. There are numerous utilities and existing structures that must be avoided, including some that are being constructed after the contract was approved.

Cairo is the capital of Egypt with a population of over 20 million. It is the largest city in Africa, the Arab world, and the Middle East, and the 15th-largest in the world. Coupled with that, Egypt has one of the world’s youngest demographics, which will cause the country’s population to grow 50% (from 100 million to 150 million) until the end of the century. These facts created the need for the government to device new population centers away from the congested Cairo streets.

About Bars

bar post-ten­sio­ning sys­tems ha­ve be­en suc­cess­ful­ly in­stal­led for ma­ny ye­ars in trans­ver­se­ly post-ten­sio­ned bridges and py­lon heads. They are used world­wi­de in hall and sta­di­um con­struc­tion to tie back steel struc­tu­res and ro­pe sys­tems and as au­xi­l­i­a­ry con­struc­tion tools in bridge con­struc­tion for at­ta­ching laun­ching no­ses and form travelers.

To im­pro­ve and en­su­re a func­tio­n­ing in­fra­struc­tu­re that meets the nee­ds of a gro­wing eco­no­my and po­pu­la­ti­on, exis­ting struc­tu­res will ha­ve to be up­graded in the ye­ars to co­me. SAS post-ten­sio­ning bar ten­dons ha­ve al­re­a­dy be­en suc­cess­ful­ly em­ploy­ed for streng­the­ning exis­ting bridges, thus pro­vi­ding eco-ef­fi­ci­ent, long-las­ting and fu­ture-ori­en­ted so­lu­ti­ons.

Mo­dern wind power plants re­qui­re sim­ple, quick and cost-ef­fi­ci­ent con­struc­tion sys­tems.  post-ten­sio­ning bar ten­dons in­stal­led in the ba­se and shaft help op­ti­mi­ze the con­struc­tion pro­gress, thus pro­mo­ting the mo­ve towards re­ne­wa­ble en­er­gy re­sour­ces. The Eu­ropean Tech­ni­cal Ap­pro­val ETA-05/0122 of­fers de­si­gners a tested sys­tem that ta­kes all pro­ject-spe­ci­fic con­di­ti­ons in­to ac­count, e.g. post-ten­sio­ning an­cho­ra­ges, load trans­fer to con­cre­te and cor­ro­si­on pro­tec­tion.
