RBS for Government

Engineered surfaces for the nation's infrastructure.

RBS Group supplies and installs resin-bound aggregate systems for public-sector projects across the Emirates — stabilising slopes and embankments along highways and railways, and surfacing large public areas with natural stone that never migrates and never needs irrigation. A separate mandate from our residential work, delivered to infrastructure standards.

The System

Four layers. One permanent surface.

Resin Bound Surface Bound natural aggregate — the wearing course Subbase Ensures durability under heavy loads Geotextile Separation and allocation of water flows Sand The natural surface of the UAE 100% permeable — storm water passes straight through

Two mandates

One material. Two jobs for the public realm.

01 · Infrastructure

Erosion control on slopes & embankments

A geotextile anchor layer with resin-bound natural aggregate locks the face of slopes, embankments and cuttings — along highways, railway corridors and drainage channels — against wind and storm-water erosion, while staying fully permeable.

  • Aggregate is permanently fixed — it never migrates onto carriageways or track
  • Permeable: storm water passes through instead of scouring the face
  • Follows existing slope profiles — minimal earthworks
  • Maintenance-free once cured

02 · Public realm

Beautification of large areas

Medians, interchanges, corniches and civic landscapes surfaced in natural stone — the appearance of a raked desert garden, fixed in place. Where turf demands water forever, bound aggregate asks for nothing.

  • Zero irrigation — a fraction of the lifetime cost of grass
  • Natural, regionally-appropriate desert palette
  • No loose gravel: safe beside roads, no scatter, no dust source
  • Decades of colour-fast performance under UAE sun

Erosion control

A slope that holds its line

Left bare, an embankment loses its face one storm at a time — runoff carves gullies and drags aggregate downhill onto carriageways and track. The RBS system rebuilds the surface as one locked layer, flush with the slope: an anchored geotextile dresses the compacted face, and resin-bound aggregate is laid directly over it — the surface IS the slope, not a slab sitting on it. Every stone is bonded to its neighbours; water passes through instead of carving down. Delivered at scale on RTA Slope Protection, Dubai.

Beautification at scale

Greener than grass — without a drop of water

Every square metre of turf in the Emirates is a permanent irrigation commitment. Bound natural aggregate delivers a landscaped, finished public realm — medians, plazas, interchange embankments, walking corridors — at a fraction of turf's lifetime cost, in a palette that belongs to this landscape. Installed once, it stays exactly where it was laid.
