Client: Emirates Transport
Duration: 25 Days
Total Vehicles: 500+ Buses
Locations: Baniyas, Al Adhla, Shahama, Al Ain, Dubai, and throughout the UAE
Project Overview:
Total Secure LLC recently completed a highly impactful project for Emirates Transport, where we installed over 500 Stop Arm Boards across multiple locations throughout the UAE. The school buses involved in this project are used for daily transportation services and were located in workshops across Baniyas, Al Adhla, Shahama, Al Ain, and Dubai, covering the entire UAE.
The main objective of the project was to install Stop Arm Boards on these buses, an essential safety feature for school buses to alert other vehicles when the bus is stopping to pick up or drop off children. The project scope was limited to the installation of these boards, but it required careful planning and coordination due to the operational nature of the fleet.
Challenges Faced:
- Daytime Bus Operations: A significant challenge faced was that the buses were in operation during the day, which meant they were unavailable for modifications. The only window of opportunity for our team to perform the work was at night, after the buses finished their daily trips.
- Tight Schedule: With over 500 school buses to modify across multiple locations, completing the project within a tight 25-day timeline was a significant challenge. Coordinating the work across such a wide geographical area while ensuring no disruption to the bus fleet's operations required precise planning and resource management.
- Workforce Coordination: We had to split the work into two parts:
- Harness and Cable Preparation: This work was done during the day by one dedicated team.
- Stop Arm Board Installation: The actual installation of the boards was done at night by another team.
This division of labor ensured that the project was completed efficiently while allowing the buses to remain in service during the day without interruptions.
Execution Strategy:
The Total Secure LLC team approached this project with a well-structured plan, ensuring that work was completed efficiently, without impacting Emirates Transport's operations. The project execution strategy included:
- Daytime Operations:
- A team of skilled technicians worked during the day to prepare the harnesses and cables needed for the Stop Arm Boards. This phase included wiring, fitting connectors, and ensuring all electrical components were ready for installation.
- Nighttime Installations:
- After the buses returned from their daily trips, our night shift installation team took over. This team was responsible for the actual installation of the Stop Arm Boards, ensuring the boards were mounted securely, wired correctly, and fully operational by the morning.
- Coordination Across Multiple Locations:
- The buses were located across several key workshops, including those in Baniyas, Al Adhla, Shahama, Al Ain, and Dubai, so our team was required to manage logistics effectively and ensure that the right resources were deployed to the correct locations each night.
- Dedicated Team:
- The success of the project was due in large part to the dedication and hard work of our 22 technicians, who worked in tandem across day and night shifts, ensuring that work continued around the clock to meet the project deadline.
Project Outcome and Success:
Despite the logistical challenges and the limited working hours, Total Secure LLC completed the project within the 25-day timeline. Here’s a breakdown of the key outcomes:
- 500+ Stop Arm Boards Installed: All boards were successfully installed across 500+ buses, ensuring the safety of children by providing clear visibility for other vehicles when buses stop.
- No Disruption to Bus Operations: One of the most critical achievements was completing the project without interrupting the regular daily trips of the buses. Our strategic scheduling ensured that buses remained operational during the day and were ready for service by the morning.
- High Client Satisfaction: The client, Emirates Transport, was highly satisfied with the results. The project was completed on time, and they appreciated our team’s ability to deliver without causing any delays in their day-to-day bus operations.
- Quality and Precision: Every installation was done with precision, ensuring that the Stop Arm Boards met all safety standards and regulatory requirements, contributing to the overall safety and functionality of the fleet.
- Conclusion:
This project marks another significant milestone for Total Secure LLC, demonstrating our capability to handle large-scale, time-sensitive installations with precision and care. Our strategic work schedule, combined with the hard work of our dedicated team, ensured that we met our client’s needs without disrupting their operations. The successful completion of this project has further strengthened our relationship with Emirates Transport, solidifying our reputation as a reliable and efficient partner for transportation safety solutions.
