AMCS technologies has supplied more than 50 anti-collision systems for the construction of Dubai Creek Harbour, a new smart city in Dubai.

This project is intended to be the new luxurious and futuristic port of Dubai. It will include residences, shops, amenities, offices.  

Presently, almost all the construction is concentrated on the Island District (phase one of the project), where AMCS technologies DCS 60 systems have been installed on all cranes.

There are currently 59 cranes and the number will increase as there is new building coming up. Anti-collision systems are installed on all new tower cranes because they are all connected with each other with radios.

The complexity of this project is based on the proximity of the different cranes (luffing cranes, topless) and it creates many areas of interference. The construction site can face collisions between jibs, jibs and counter-jibs, jibs and cables.

The DCS 60 guarantees site safety by managing prohibited areas and interferences between cranes. It makes the work even easier by displaying useful settings for operating the crane. It has three essential functions: zoning; anti-collision; display unit and data logger.
