Ashghal completes trunk sewer to serve 8 northern areas
The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced the completion of all the main upgrade works for the 17.2-kilometer-trunk sewer that serves 8 areas to the North of Doha.
The new trunk sewer aims to facilitate discharge of sewage flows from several northern areas such as Rawdat Al Jahaniya, Al Themaid, Rawdat Egdaim, North Al Nassriya, Bani Hajer, Al Kharaitiyat, Izghawa, and the area surrounding Al Rayyan Stadium. This is in addition to serving Al Rayyan Stadium, which is one of the stadiums that will host World cup 2020.
Eng. Abdulla Al Nuaimi, Project Engineer in the Roads Projects Department, said: “The completed works involved the construction of a deep trunk sewer extending from Al Rayyan Stadium to Al Shamal Road to collect and discharge foul flows to Pumping Station 70, located in Al Ebb and Leabaib. The sewage will then be pumped into the treatment plant in Umm Slal Municipality.”
Eng. Al Nuaimi also added that “The foul sewer infrastructure upgrade serves several areas witnessing a significant urban growth as it collects the sewage of other existing projects in the area. It will also improve the quality of life as well as the health and environmental conditions in the area by providing well-developed sewer connections to replace the traditional septic tanks.”
Eng. Al Nuaimi pointed out that the project comes as part of Ashghal’s commitment to solve sewerage-related issues in these areas by providing a strategic deep sewer line that transfers flows to the main treatment plant in the area.
It is worth noting that the sewer line starts at a depth of 7 meters, from Al Rayyan Stadium, until it reaches the tie-in point in Al Kharaitiyat and Izghawa area on Al Shamal Road, where the line runs at a depth of approximately 30 meters.

The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) takes all necessary precautions to protect workers of World Cup 2022
The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) has said that it is taking all necessary precautions for workers, in line with the COVID-19 preventative measures and interim guidelines recommended by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH).
The SC said in a statement issued yesterday that the SC have utilized its existing network of medical clinics across all sites and accommodations, and implemented awareness sessions delivered on construction sites and accommodations to educate workers on the importance of prevention, and taking workers’ temperatures twice daily, and the distribution of masks and sanitizers on SC projects. In case of shortage of masks, personal scarves used by workers were advised for use.
The statement added that non-essential visitors to SC construction sites prohibited and isolation rooms established on all SC sites and accommodations. Interim disinfection protocols have been implemented at site and accommodation medical facilities. All healthcare professionals are following Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) measures to control COVID-19 outbreak.
The SC pointed out that workers with chronic disease and those above 55 years have been temporarily demobilized from site due to them being more vulnerable to COVID-19. The SC is ensuring that they stay in SC compliant accommodation and they continue to receive salaries.
It carried out inspections of existing caterers’ kitchen facilities and based on risk assessment, identified caterers that either need to upgrade their kitchen operations; or be replaced with a caterer that is equipped with better facilities, so as to ensure in both cases that higher standards are in place to mitigate against the COVID-19. The SC consulted with in-house doctor to identify a list of food items that are both recommended for consumption as well as those that should be prohibited (as these items make them more vulnerable to COVID-19). The same has been circulated to all the caterers serving food on the SC sites.
