Eqaila pumping station and its associated sewage lines
The project consists of a main wastewater pumping station in Eqaila suburb block 3, Ahmadi governorate, at the intersection
between Abdulaziz Abdulrahman road and road 210, on a land area of 100x150 meters and a depth of 48 meters. The station
serves the areas located south of the Sixth Ring Road. It collects and transfers the waste water from Subah Al-Salem to the
coastal fahahel area through three main lines with a diameter of 1400mm, 2 lines to Al-Riqa treatment plant and 1 line to Om
Al-Heman treatment plant.
The station is designed from the international environmental requirements, as it contains the odor-control system to avoid the
release of any unpleasant odors in the surrounding residential areas.
The pumping station building’s area is 4500 m².
The valves room is located on a land area of 800 m2, including 8 valves with a diameter of 900mm.
The pumping station accommodates flows up to 362,880 cubic meters daily.
A new pumping station in Mishrif and the main pumping lines
in the areas of Sabhan, South Surra, and fahaheel
This station is considered on of the vital and important stations which aims to raise the efficiency of the sewage facilities,
improve their performance, and eliminate all the problems whether it’s the lack of connectivity to the public sewage network or
environmental problems as a result of odors’ emission .
Mishrif station is composed of several underground floors up to a depth of 38 meters, the main gate is 35 meters away, with a
diameter of 2 meters, and the main line carrying the wastewater from the areas it serves with a diameter of 2 meters.
The station serves 9 densely populated areas, namely: Rumaithiya, Salwa, Al-Bida, Salmiya, Jabriya, Hawalli, part of Subah Al-
Salem, Industrial Sabhan, part of South Surra, and then the water is pumped to Ardhiya )It’s a bigger station than Mishrif’s),
which it then re-pumps the water to Sulaibiya treatment plant.
The station’s capacity is up to 140 thousands cubic meters of wastewater per day during peak times, and its capacity has been
raised to 215-220 thousands cubic meters after its rehabilitation and operation in December 2012.
