Al Mashaaer Al Muqaddasah Metro

City of Mecca

Al Mashaaer Al Muqaddassah Metro, is an 18.1 kilometres (11.2 mi) long elevated metro in the city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, which opened in November 2010.
The metro will transport people between holy sites in Mecca, Mount Arafat, Muzdalifa and Mina to reduce congestion caused by buses and cars during the Hajj.
Once complete, the Saudis estimate 53,000 buses disappeared from the city’s crowded roads, promising a safer, more comfortable living.
It initially operated at 35% capacity with automatic train protection to assist manual driving.
The line is elevated at a height varying between 8 meters (26 ft) and 10 meters (33 ft). It is designed to carry up to 72,000 passengers/hour/direction.
Based on the Project in supplying, testing and commissioning desert coolers, more than 400 desert coolers have been provided in order to provide cool air for metro stations. In their design and for each cooler, three EBARA submersible pumps type BEST ONE VOX had been used to circulate the water inside the cooler.
