Thiess Services Middle East is to supply recycled aggregate from construction and demolition waste for the first phase of Abu Dhabi’s Etihad railway network. The supply of the waste to Al Jaber Group follows a strategic agreement reached between Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre (ADWMC) and Thiess Services Middle East (TSME). It covers a period of 15 years.

Contractor Thiess Services Middle East (TSME) says that recycling waste construction and building materials for the Etihad Rail project will save 5 million kilometres of truck journeys.

Etihad Rail is a $11 billion project that will create a rail network across the UAE. Work has already begun on the first phase, a 266km stretch of rail in the Western Region that will be used to ship granular sulphur from the Shah and Habshan fields to Ruwais.

Abu Dhabi: The first phase of the Etihad Railway Network will use 750,000 tonnes of recycled material. Abu Dhabi's Centre of Waste Management has a 15-year deal with Thiess Services Middle East (TSME) for the construction and management of a recycling plant.
