AMCS technologies DCS 60 anti collision and zoning system equips twenty tower cranes participating in the Las Island project in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Among the twenty machines, there are sixteen Potain MCT205, two MC175 and two Raimondi MRT294.
The DCS 60 operates in real time and in 3-dimensions to calculate the distances between each crane component as well as movement speed. It enables action to be taken on equipped mechanism to ensure complete immobilization of the crane at a pre-set distance from a particular obstacle.
Developed in two phases, the project comprises the Yas Arena, a new place of 18 000 seats dedicated to concerts and sport events as well as more than 50 cafés and restaurants, 20 shops, a cinema, a beach club, and two hotels. The project also includes the Water’s Edge, a large residential project.
Construction work started in December 2017, and one part of the project should be expected at the end of 2019.
