Tunnel automation system
The ring road connects Dibba and Khor Fakkan and serves areas such as Al Aqah, Sharm, Rul Dadna, Rul Dibba and Al Bidya. It is considered vital to the area and is expected to serve 15,000 cars on weekdays, increasing to 20,000 on weekends. The twin tunnels on the road are 550 metres long and run through mountain, away from the coastline, which safeguards the section of
road from falling rocks and extreme weather. It was near this area where Cyclone Gonu caused much damage to Sharm and Al Bidya some years ago. The Automation division delivered tunnel automation solutions including PLC control panels, HMI and SCADA system for the tunnel.
