Around 29 km of pipe lines including the construction of 879 manholes & chambers and the interconnections of 72 no. to existing networks.
The pipes installation has been carried out either by open trench method or by micro tunnelling (NDM).

 

SCOPE OF WORKS

Al Shawamekh Area : Supply and installation of 3,300 m of gravity sewer networks. UPVC and GRP pipes of various diameters (160 mm to 225 mm) are installed
Al Shahama Area : Supply and installation of 1,600 m of gravity sewer networks. Pipes diameters range between 160 mm and 280 mm
Al Bahya Area : Supply and installation of 9,900 m of gravity sewer networks. Pipes diameters range between 160 mm and 280 mm
Al Sader ‘A’ Area : Supply and installation of 11,800 m of gravity sewer networks. Pipes diameters vary between 160 mm and 300 mm. In this area NBHH had completed also two pumping stations of 10.0 l/s capacity 14.6.m TDH and 11.3 l/s capacity with 19.6 m TDH
Trunk Sewer of Falah and Shamkha Area, Stage 3:
