Case Study Infiltration Channel

Project Location Project Details Zayed University, ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates Infiltration tank for University Campus
Start Date

February 2009

Proudly bearing the name of the founder of the nation - the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan - Zayed University was founded in 1998 to inspire, encourage, educate, and lead a powerful generation of students. Zayed University is a public urban non-profit institute of higher education founded in 1998 that is located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The non co-educational university caters to both national and international students with undergraduate and graduate programs. The new campus is being built on 75 hectares at New Khalifa City near Abu Dhabi International Airport. When complete, the new campus will have a built-up area of 200,000 m2 and provide educational facilities for 6000 students. Completion is expected in July 2011. Atlantis products are being used as part of the stormwater system. Over 6.1km of infiltration channels or soakaways have been installed beside roads and pathways, providing over 4 million litres of storage. The channel system is constructed of thousands of Atlantis Matrix / D-Raintank - Double Modules wrapped in geotextile, placed in the channel two modules wide. Water from the impervious surfaces is stored in the modules and gradually allowed to percolate into the surrounding soil. The infiltration channels are sized to make sure that it doesnt overflow in severe storm events and to ensure that all the water is dissipated effectively into the surrounding area. A concrete sump has been provided a regular intervals to ensure that sand and vegetation matter cannot enter the infiltration channel. The project is being developed by Mubadala Development Company, which is wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi government and the main contractor for the stormwater is Al Habtoor Specon Hastie International, a joint venture between Al Habtoor Engineering and Hastie Group Limited.

In lengthy grated-slot channel-runs of more than 20m length, an inline trash-box with plastic bucket and galvanized iron grating cover, Class B125, should be installed. Channel runs must be connected to catch basins either via trash boxes or end-caps with horizontal uPVC outlet, including the necessary bends to vertically align the connection to the required invert level at the catch basin. The adjoining surface finishes shall be laid to finish permanently 3mm higher than the top edge of the channel. The surfaces to be bonded have to be sufficiently firm, dry, clean and free from oil and grease to ensure that bonding and curing is not adversely affected.
