CDR aimed to achieve the following: Rehabilitation, extension and upgrading for the following existing water supply networks: Batroun, Thoum, Bsatine Al Oussi, Assia/Zein, Kfarhilda, Dahr Abi Yagi, Kfifane & Bijdarfil. Design of new water supply network for the villages of Hardine, Niha, Kfour el Arabe, Mazraat Bani Saab & Mazraat Kassab.
Water Supply Network Design & Supervision
Laceco responded to the above objectives by:
Designing a consistent urban framework that nevertheless provided a diversity in the individual architectural character of buildings.
Curating a seamless pedestrian experience in a site that had a challenging topography and was exposed to dominant winds.
Anchoring the site along three platforms linked to each other by a continuous game of terraces, stairs, suspended bridges and esplanades that gently slope down the length of the development.
Conducting value engineering and cost optimization studies to preserve economic viability of the development.
Laceco responded to the objectives by:
Collecting field data and topographic survey necessary to complete the design of water supply networks,
Coordinating with the concerned public Authorities about the new water networks interface with existing ones (connection points/spare capacities etc)
Designing and supervising around 10km of transmission pipelines and 20km of distribution pipelines,
Designing and supervising the drilling and equipment of two boreholes, two water tanks and related pumping stations with all corresponding MEP equipment.
Networks commissioning services.
Interesting facts:
One of the main challenges was the steep topography and important potential head differences between the storage reservoirs and the distribution networks.
A comprehensive database was fully integrated with special data on topography and geology in Arc View based GIS system.
