The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has achieved over over million man-hours without loss time injury (LTI) since it started implementing the works of the Industrial Area Sewage Treatment Works Design and Build Project (Third Expansion).
Ashghal, represented by Engineer Khalid Saif al Khayareen, Drainage Networks Projects Department manager, honoured the project contractor, M/s Larsen & Toubro limited for this achievement.
Engineer Khayareen said, “This important achievement is a reflection of Ashghal’s keenness to cooperate with project contractors to implement the highest safety standards in the workplace. There is no doubt that safety specifications are one of the most important criteria that the authority takes into account when qualifying and selecting contractors to ensure the protection of workers from injuries resulting from work hazards.
“The authority also obliges contractors to a set of standards and requirements that must be available at work sites during the implementation of projects in order to protect workers as well visitors of the areas covered by the projects.”
Ashghal started implementing the third expansion for Industrial Area Sewage Treatment Works Design and Build Project in November 2018. Around 48 percent of works are complete so far and the project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2021.
The project is located approximately two kilometres South West of the Doha Industrial Area. It is part of the Public Works Authority’s plan to implement a series of expansions to the sewage treatment plant in the Industrial Area, which started its operations at a capacity of only 12,000
m3/day.
Ashghal implemented two expansions to the treatment to reach a capacity of around 60,000 m3/day in 2017.
The Third Expansion project currently under implementation aims to increase the Doha Industrial Area sewage treatment plant capacity to 90,000 m3/day. The plan includes another expansion in the future to reach a total capacity of 120,000 m3/day.
