RTA involvement is typically triggered by excavation near roads, structures within the right of way, or any works affecting public infrastructure — our calculations address RTA's specific technical concerns alongside your primary building permit.
RTA Structural Calculations Dubai
Structural calculations for projects affecting RTA infrastructure — works within the right of way, near roads, or affecting public infrastructure — require RTA-specific technical review alongside standard building permit calculations.

- Utility clearances: DEWA and telecom services are checked where they run under the works.
- Work zone safety: works follow RTA work zone traffic management rules.
- Reinstatement: the road, kerb and footpath are reinstated and inspected.

RTA Structural Calculations — FAQs
When does RTA need to review my structural calculations?
When your project involves excavation near roads, structures within the right of way, or works affecting RTA-controlled infrastructure.
Is RTA review separate from my building permit?
Yes — RTA review typically runs alongside your primary building authority's (DM/DDA/Trakhees) permit process, not instead of it.
What triggers RTA involvement most commonly?
Basement excavation near roads, utility crossings, and any temporary works affecting public right of way.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your plot or unit details, title deed or affection plan, any existing drawings and a short description of the works — we confirm the approvals needed and prepare the submission.
Can Structural Solutions coordinate both RTA and DM/DDA submissions?
Yes — we prepare and coordinate calculations that satisfy both RTA and your primary building authority.
