Overview
SAC was appointed to provide comprehensive
stormwater design, hydraulic calculations, and full
authority approvals for a key project Outfall
enhancement project in the nearest
catchment area, Abu Dhabi, to address flooding
and replace temporary pumping with permanent
solutions
Scope of Work
Design stormwater networks,outfall connection, andpermanent pumping station(structural, architectural, MEP) across two streams.
Prepare design reports, BIM models, and clash detection.
Secure IDAS, ITC, TPD, and MEPS approvals with full coordination until final approval.
Project Highlights
The primary goals of this scope were to:
01Comprehensive Stormwater DesignDeveloped stormwater networks and outfall connection solutions across two streams within the Sea Palace catchment.
02Permanent Flood MitigationDesigned a permanent pumping station to replace temporary pumping arrangements and improve flood resilience.
03Multidisciplinary EngineeringDelivered integrated structural, architectural, and MEP designs for the permanent pumping station.
05Authority ApprovalsCoordinated submissions and secured approvals from IDAS, ITC, TPD, and MEPS, including follow-up through final approval.
06Integrated Flood ManagementSupported the enhancement of stormwater infrastructure to improve drainage performance and reduce flooding risks in the Al Nahyan/E25 catchment area.
Outcome
Recommendations and Client Benefits
Reduced Flooding Risk: Improved stormwater conveyance and pumping capacity to mitigate flooding in critical catchment areas.
Permanent Infrastructure Solution: Supported the transition from temporary pumping arrangements to a sustainable, permanent drainage system.
Regulatory Compliance: Facilitated coordination with relevant Abu Dhabi authorities to achieve the required design approvals.
Integrated Design Coordination: Minimized potential design conflicts through multidisciplinary coordination, BIM modelling, and clash detection.
Long-Term Reliability: Supported more efficient stormwater management and improved resilience of the existing drainage infrastructure.
Streamlined Project Delivery: Consolidated engineering design, technical documentation, and authority coordination under one consultancy scope.
