INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILITIES

7.1 INTRODUCTION
The development site, named the Villa Development , Umm Al Daman in Alain Road, Dubai, is to become a
low density residential community within Mirras land, south-west of the Al Ain Dubai Road opposite of Dubai
Outlet mall. The project site is comprised of an area of 122045 Sq.m / 3.45 Hectares), and is located within the
Al Ain Dubai Road,

7.2 BACKGROUND
The infrastructure assumptions have been built based on the information provided by the data collected from the
concerned authorities, our assumptions have been built.
The Infrastructure Master Plan for the Villa Project uses basic criteria and method of calculations that are used
in many other Dubai residential developments.
Infrastructure development is based primarily on the existing Dubai Municipality (DM), Dubai Electrical and
Water Authority, RTA, Civil Defines, Du & Etisalat and Dubai concerned Authorities Standards, Specifications
and Guidelines.
A dedicated services corridor for each infrastructure utility is provided, ensuring minimal conflict with other
services and easy facilitation for the utilities house connections. Location of the proposed tapping connections is
determined based on the approved option of the proposed Master Plan, all to the in compliance to the maximum
with DM & RTA Right Of Way (ROW) standard.

DESIGN BASIS AND PARAMETERS

Design Vehicle:

The design vehicle for collector roads is the AASHTO Bus Single 12.1 meters in length and for local roads is
the AASHTO Single Unit Truck 9.1 meter in length.
Sight Distance:

Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) is the distance required by the driver of a vehicle traveling at a given speed to
bring his vehicle to a complete stop after an object on the carriageway becomes visible.
Passing Sight Distance (PSD) is the minimum sight distance that must be available to enable the driver of one
vehicle to pass another vehicle safely and comfortably.

7.3 ROAD NETWORK

Values for SSD and PSD for a given Design speed are shown in following Table

The geometric design criteria govern the minimum parameters that are used in developing the detailed horizontal
and vertical design. Design speed is selected to match the roads hierarchy the higher the type of road, the
higher the design speed that needs to be maintained.

Stopping Sight Distance and Full Overtaking Sight Distance (Geometric Design Manual for Dubai Roads GDMDR)

Design speed is the main factor, affecting all other design parameters. The road alignment shall be designed so
as to ensure that standards of alignment, visibility and super-elevation are consistent with selected design speed.
Being a purely residential development speeds will be restricted and kept to minimum to maintain safety and
create a residential environment.

Plot

There is no existing sewage network in the vicinity of the project. Therefore, there is a need for a temporary
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) on-site to cater for sewage treatment. This STP shall be temporary and is designed
for the ultimate flow with no spare capacity.
FOUL WATER SYSTEM STRATEGY

The design strategy adopted for this project is to provide gravity sewers system that has manholes of 6 meters
maximum depth, in order to avoid lifting stations as much as possible. Our proposal i s to provide shallow
connection point for each plot, as most of the plots are villas, and then connect to the main network. Our utility
corridor however, has been structured in a way that can cater any new requirements by the concerned different
authorities.

of the project.
The proposed drainage catchment considers all the post development area to be
drained/discharged to the proposed drainage system that will be local drainage system as temporary till the DM
construct the main drainage.
The local drainage system is designed in such a way as to provide for significant volumes of water retention as
well as discharge through infiltration cells/soakaways.

7.9 TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM

DESIGN CRITERIA:
Telecommunications play a vital role in the profitable operation of todays business. The term
telecommunications encompasses all the services that a modern forward thinking communications service
provider will provide within the villas/ buildings.
The existing telecommunication system in vicinity of the project from du or Etisalat will be tapped as the main
carrier of telephone facilities in the development. Other telecommunication systems like satellite connections;
Ethernet etc. will also be considered and carefully studied.
Various systems can be considered such as voice, data and entertainment of the project. The preferred final
infrastructure solution will depend to some degree on those systems to be implemented.
Table (Entry Ducts as per Buildings Category)
Cross development transmission can be achieved using either separate transmission networks for each user
system, or combine all transmission into a single Ethernet network. For multiple transmission systems,
each system can use its own cable or be allocated fibers within a commonly used cable.
The recommended solution for the duct infrastructure is to provide ducting network to be used by all cable
systems, whichever cabling solution is adopted as du or Etisalat the primary lead provider has the ownership
of the ducts.

CABLE INFRASTRUCTURE:

The backbone of the network would be a fiber ring around the facility, with the nodes connected with
standard fiber cables. Fixed links would also be provided to distribution nodes. From the distribution nodes,
blown fiber tubing would be installed into each building, leaving the flexibility to install the required type
of fiber as services are required.

Requirement of providing GSM services within the facility or utilizing the service from the existing one in
proximity of the site will be examined in liaise with du and Etisalat.
Building Category

FOC Cable Calculation

INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS:

For single network option, the duct infrastructure requirements are relatively simple. Every building that
may require some communication service needs to be provided with the entry ducts, giving access to the overall
development duct network.

Building

2 core FOC for every Villa

Retails / Commercial

DUCT INFRASTRUCTURE:

This would allow the duct network to be designed in advance of the actual network design, after studying
and defining the cabling solution. A main duct backbone ring will be required around the development
(providing a level of diversity in the event of cable/ equipment failure), with each building within the facility
requiring any form of communications connected into the backbone. The table below will show the entry ducts
for building category as per DU and Etisalat design guidelines:

7.10 ELECTRICAL NETWORK

DESIGN CRITERIA AND PARAMETERS:

The Electrical network design will be based on the fully developed parcels for Villa Development Project.
The Dubais typical design standards as supplied by DEWA and other standard engineering practices in the Middle East will
be used as the primary basis for the design for this project.
Coordination with the local authorities will be conducted on a regular basis for them to provide the primary power connection
to the substation transformers provided and installed in the facility. For this purpose total connected load will be calculated
based on the different buildings (residential and commercial) and approval for the master plan load parcels and 11kv corridor
from DEWA will be taken, all based on DEWA (E) requirements for the LV and the 11 KV requirements for corridor and to
the basic compliance to RTA & DM typical standard for the road cross section and right of way.
POWER SOURCE:
An existing DEWA 132 KV substation on the northern side of Villa development project is proposed to serve the project area
subject to DEWA approval - with 11 KV cables network between the substations within parcels area and LV (415V) network
from substations to the individual villa components, final routing, size and material of these cables will be coordinated with
and fixed on approval from DEWA. The estimated load is 19.1 MW, approximately 23 No: of 1000 KVA transformers can
serve the demand for the project.
STAND BY GENERATOR:

Villa Development ,Umm Al Daman project is a social housing residential development ,hence a 150 KVA Standby
generator is proposed as backup for STP & Irrigation.
