The Public Works Authority’s (Ashghal) Main Trunk Sewer (MTS) project in Doha South has won the prestigious ‘Good Rating’ by the Civil Engineering Environmental Quality Assessment and Award Scheme (CEEQUAL). 

The recognition is highly significant as MTS is the region’s first and only project that was honored with the CEEQUAL Design and Build Award, Ashghal stated.

CEEQUAL is an international evidence-based sustainability assessment, rating, and awards scheme for construction and service projects.

The assessment is based on a rating system that takes into account the performance of the projects during their development, in the design, and construction phases. 

Ashghal finished the construction works of the MTS in April last year as part of the Doha South Sewage Infrastructure Project with Jacobs Engineering Group  (formerly CH2M) as the international management consultant.

The project aims to serve several areas south of Doha by linking them to the drainage network of the city.

MTS has three branches; northern, western, and eastern with a total length of approximately 16kilometers.

The northern branch covers Rawdat Al Khail and Al Nuaija areas and has a 4kilometer length.

The western branch, with around 5kilometers length, spreads through Mesaimeer and Al Maamoura to Freej Al Soudan.

The eastern branch has around 7kilometers length and it spreads between Al Thumama to Old Airport area passing through the E-Ring Road.

The branches are gravity-based tunnels that are tailored to reduce the impact on the environment caused by a sewage overflow, Ashghal highlighted.

They control odors in sewage treatment works and conveying systems and decrease the costs of operation and maintenance of the faulty sewerage system.

The Doha South Sewage Infrastructure Project ambitions to accommodate the population growth expected in Doha South and it can be linked to future infrastructure projects.
