2.1.1 The City of Doha is experiencing significant growth, and the need for
an efficient, flexible and reliable wastewater management system is
vital. The current pace of growth is posing major challenges for the
existing drainage infrastructure. The Authority is the service provider

2.1.2 To address the need for improvements, the Authority has embarked on
a major
programme of expansion and upgrades that consists of numerous

Implementation Strategy (IDRIS) Programme is a world-class solution

developed by the Authority to upgrade and expand the sewerage
infrastructure in order to accommodate the projected population
growth for an additional 1 million people in Dohas oldest area the
south catchment (around 680 km2).

2.1.3 IDRIS is strategic in nature and was developed to convert the foulsewer drainage in the Doha South Catchment from a pumped network
to a gravity sewer network. The IDRIS Programme both supports and
contributes to achieving the Qatari National Vision 2030 to transform
Qatar into an advanced country capable of sustaining its own
development and providing a high standard of living for its people. The
Authoritys vision calls for the delivery of state-of-the-art, sustainable,
world-class buildings and infrastructure that can fulfil this vision.
2. Project Scope and Site Description
2.1.

Project Background

2.1.4 The IDRIS scheme is comprised of a number of Lateral Interceptor

Sewers (LIS) that will be used to intercept flows in the existing high-

level system and transfer them into a new deep-trunk sewer; thereby,
relieving the existing overloaded system. The deep-trunk sewer, known
as the Main Trunk Sewer (MTS), has an internal diameter (ID) ranging
between 3.0 and 4.5 meters (m) and will transfer the flows by gravity
for a distance of over 40 kilometres (km) south to a Terminal Pump
Station (TPS) located at the downstream end of the MTS. The flows will

then be lifted into the New Doha South (NDS) Sewage Treatment Works
(STW) for treatment. The reclaimed Treated Sewage Effluent (TSE) will
be suitable for irrigation purposes and will be returned to Doha
metropolitan area.

2.2.

Scope of Works

The works include, but are not limited to, the following:
2.2.1.

Roads & Site Clearance

DW013 will require approximately 23.075 km of road to be built,

consisting of the
3. Planning Methodology
QBC will start the work with the submission and approval of necessary permits for
various pre-construction plans, work method statements, material submittal for
Procurement & Traffic management Plan etc., in this stage the mobilization of the
site offices, the required Manpower & machinery will be carried out.
After receiving the approval of RO, Excavation Permits and the traffic Management
Plan & Road diversions approved by traffic police & other authorities and also with
approval from Atkins, QBC will execute the work without disrupting the traffic flow
and temporary diversion will be provided to fulfil the necessary traffic diversion.
The construction work is majorly divided in to different stages for package 1 &
Package 2. Package 1 divided in to 27 stages & Package 2 divided into 16 stages.

The work sequences are elaborately explained in the Baseline Programme

substantiated with optimum Resources and fully cost loaded work programme.
(Refer the details in the Baseline Program of this Submission). While each item of
the scope of works will be executed and completed then as built drawing also will
be done in parallel to the Project Progress.
The Project will be closed out with the snagging after addressing of all snagging
works demobilisation and Handing over will be done.

4. Construction Approach:
QBC will divide the road section to part 1 and part 2 as represented in (Figure

Construction sequence will start from

Part 1 of the road with TSE, Foul water drainage & ground water pipeline works
(excavation, pipe laying, and backfilling). Manhole excavation will start after
excavation of pipeline and continue with following activities for manhole (blinding,
tanking, protection, base slab, wall concrete, external tanking, cover slab, DI cover
& backfilling). House connection Guiles excavation work will start after wall of
manholes and follow by (Installation of gullies, backfill and grating). Road
excavation at part 1 side will be follow the excavation of road and continue with
(ducts, kerbs, sub-base up to base course), After completion of base course at part
1, work sequence will shift to Part 2 side of the road starting with surface water,
potable water, electricity works, Foul water house connection works, QNBN works,
gully installation & pipe laying works, street light, ITS & Irrigation works if any,
simultaneously works like sub-base, base-course, wearing course, street lighting,
landscaping works will continue as shown in below picture sequence.

Baseline programme indicates the planning implementation with Major items

which covers over all scope of the Project. While developing Baseline programme
the following assumptions has been made in order to make a realistic construction
approach and executable work programme as follows but not limited to:

(ii)

(iii)

Activity durations and resource assignments& assumed daily production

& required logics and their lags for predecessors and successors will be
modified if necessary based on site obstructions/ interfaces and also
unforeseen site conditions and unavoidable changes in QBCs
Construction Methodology. If necessary, programme will be subjected to
modification due to changes in QBCs construction methodology with
information to Atkins.
After the site handing over to QBC, QBC intend to start the work as soon
as possible. Assuming that all the necessary permits and approvals from
the Government/ Ashghal/ Kharamaa/ private authorities will be issued on
time and no obstructions or delay in permits/approvals will stop QBCs
execution and work progress.
QBC assumed that all the client and Government authorities permits/
approvals will be on time without any delays, and no interruptions for the
work to start and the client will provide always necessary work front in
order to progress in execution of works.

(v)

QBC assumes that there is no electrical work at package-2 in our scope of

work as there is discrepancy in road cross section and layout provided,
which has notified by QBC through email dated 06th July 2015.
(vi) QBC assumes that there is no any requirement of dewatering.
(vii) Sewer house connection for package 2 has considered as a future house
connection as per drawing details.
(viii) Road excavation considered up to sub-grade bottom level.
6. Baseline Programme Description:
The Baseline Programme developed into activities in the following Stages &
divisions:

5. Assumptions for the Baseline programme:

(i)

QBC assumes that if any scope of the project changes, if any additional
works are incurred it will affect the end date of the project and the client
will accept the required time & cost allocation for such works as positive
variations, additional works and time extension for QBC.
