Doha: The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced completion of the refurbishment and upgrading works for four sewage pumping stations project.
The project aimed at increasing the capacity of four pumping stations located in vital areas within Doha, namely New Slata, Al Mansoura, Al Messila, and Al Rayyan, between 61% and 212%, in order to accommodate current and future sewage flows within these important areas, and to cope with the future development and population growth.
On this occasion, Eng. Shouq Ibrahim, from the Drainage Networks Projects Department at Ashghal, said that the project was designed to ensure the preservation of the environment, as all the pumping processes are done according to the environmental assessment standards.
“Three of the four pumping stations had a dramatic increase in their ability to accommodate and pump the sewage flows. The New Slata Pumping Station’s capacity has increased by approximately 61%, allowing around 8,600 m3/day to be pumped instead of the previous 5,300 m3/day. The Al Messila Pumping Station’s capacity has increased by approximately 212%, allowing 14,000 m3/day to be pumped instead of 4,500 m3/day. The Al Rayyan Pumping Station’s capacity has increased by 161%, to pump around 4,700 m3/day instead of 1,800 m3/day,” said Eng. Shouq.
