Egypt’s new Light Rail Transit system connects Cairo to the New Capital through one of the country’s largest
transportation projects.
United Group contributed to the project by delivering advanced foundation testing, instrumentation, and
real-time soil monitoring for critical stations and elevated sections.
Challenge
The project required continuous testing and data collection during construction — with strict deadlines, high
site activity, and no room for delay.
Key challenges included:
- Conducting pile tests under active construction.
- Delivering reliable data with no interruptions to work flow.
-
Coordinating between multiple contractors and supervision consultants.
Solution
United Group deployed:
- Automated pile load testing systems and strain sensors.
- Settlement plates and vibration monitoring instruments.
- Real-time data logging and reporting dashboards for engineers.
Results
The integrated system improved field accuracy, reduced testing duration by 40%, and helped optimize
foundation designs for load-bearing efficiency.
This contribution ensured safe, rapid progress and compliance with transportation infrastructure standards.
