Ricardo is the appointed Independent Safety Assessor (ISA) for the construction of the 1,200km passenger and freight network across the United Arab Emirates (UAE), extending from the Arabian Gulf to the Indian Ocean.
As the ISA, we are ensuring every aspect of the project meets the client's required standards for safety throughout its development, from early design to the commencement of freight services - considered 'Stage One' of the programme - and the addition of passenger services in Stage Two.
Our work includes conducting full assessments and audits of the engineering system safety plans, processes and documentation during the design, manufacture, installation, testing and trial operations, as well as the operator’s performance once services commence.
