When projects don’t warrant the investment of owning, short-term TMA rental is the most viable and affordable option in Dubai. Whether you are working on road resurfacing and patching on Sheikh Zayed Road, working on construction site access whilst the road is closed, access for public events and VIP motorcades, emergency utility repairs (burst water mains, power cable faults etc.), street lighting and traffic signal maintenance, or civil works (such as landscaping works) on dual carriageways, a short term rental has you covered to ensure the right equipment is deployed at the right time and at the correct location, without the long term financial burden.
There are a number of benefits of renting a TMA in Dubai over owning one. A financial analysis of this can show that the cost of buying TMA equipment can be hundreds of thousands of dirhams, while short term rental equipment is a one-time project based operating expense that can improve cash flow.
All the rental fleets are fully maintained, inspected and certified by the provider, which means you’ll have no workshop bills or risk of downtime. Dubai’s RTA is constantly changing with the pace of time, and Dubai rental companies ensure that vehicles are kept up to date with the latest regulations, so you won’t have to worry about keeping up with the changing regulations yourself.
Most importantly, rental allows you to expand your fleet up or down instantly – 1 TMA today and 6 tomorrow – to align the size of your fleet with your project demands exactly.
The initial step is to send in your project brief which contains the location, duration, road classification and traffic speed data, and this is the time to verify the correct TMA specification for your site.
A fully comprehensive, compliance approved quote is then set for the TMA unit, host vehicle (if needed), mobilisation and permit support documentation.
Our team then takes care of NOC and permit coordination process with the relevant authority be it RTA, Dubai Municipality or the relevant emirate body to ensure your project timeline is not affected.
The certified TMA operators then align and maneuver the attenuator to the appropriate location and setting in accordance with the approved traffic management plan and all personnel are issued valid UAE work-zone certification.
Full demobilisation is completed and a completion certificate is drawn up at project completion.
All TMA units for short term hire in Dubai are certified to NCHRP Report 350 and MASH (Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware) as compliant with the Traffic Control and Safety Manual requirements for temporary traffic management zones in accordance with the requirements from the RTA.
A Method Statement and Risk Assessment is produced for each deployment and is specific to the type of road, speed of the traffic and the type of deployment activity required — this is a requirement for RTA approval.
