3.12. BMS SYSTEM
The installation of a Building Management System will be considered

according to the services that will be provided by the Owner of the
Development to the tenants.
The systems monitored and controlled through a BMS system are:
a) HVAC. The following apply:
 HVAC is not in the SoW of the contractor

 HVAC system will be individual for each LIU
 HVAC system is considered simple in design and operation without a
significant number of points and parameters to be monitored and
controlled the installation
b) Lighting and Power. The following apply:
 Lighting system is individual per each LIU and shall be controlled by

each tenant.
 Occupancy sensors and time/photocell switches are considered in the
design
 Electrical panels per LIU are few and concentrated in small area.
Based on the above the implementation of a general BMS system is not

suggested. Access control, FA and CCTV systems can be integrated on a
common platform in order to communicate alarms and signals. Also a simple
in design electrical monitoring system of the Main LV switchboard and
Generator switchboard feeder circuit breakers status is considered adequate
for the supervision purposes of the facility.

ELV Room to the facility IT Room shall be utilized.
3.13. VALUE ENGINEERING
The following design alternatives are considered for electrical systems:
1. Lighting. LED vs. Fluorescent or Son-T light fittings. The adoption of LED
fixtures throughout the facilities provides high quality of illumination and
extended life cycle of fitting with minimum power demand. The expanded
usage of LED technic for the past years has led to cost levels which are similar
with conventional lights.
2. Transformer. Dry Type vs. Oil Type. Dry type transformers require reduced
maintenance compared with oil-type, and limited space allocation. Because
dry type transformers have larger load utilization factors compare with oil type,
the same demand load can be served with a smaller size transformer.

5.3.4. Traffic Study
Internal Traffic Study
This part of study is considering the internal condition of traffic for heavy
trucks, passenger cars, and the fire trucks. The study shows the counts of
vehicles that might be accommodated in this plan, and the adequacy of the
available space for handling, maneuvering of goods.
Master Plan Elements
The master plan of the plot 07 is divided into two major zones. The first zone
serves the commercial vehicles. The second zone serves the passenger cars.
Each of the two zones’ movement is in one direction.
101
Figure 7: The distribution of traffic zones according to function
When we put an eye on the private cars parking zone; to see the main
direction of movement, the entrance and exit; it might be illustrated by the
following sketch:
Figure 8: Travel Direction, Entrance, and Exits for Zone of Passenger Cars
Parking
For the trucks parking and maneuvering zone; the main direction of
movement, the entrance and exit might be illustrated using the following
sketch:
102
Figure 9: Travel Direction, Entrance, and Exits for Zone of Heavy Vehicles
Internal Traffic Counts
The traffic counts might be showed in the following chart which summarizes
the capacity of the available areas if used for parking purposes. The traffic
counts show that the available space can cover the traffic which is expected to
use the plot.
Table 1 : Land Use for Trafficking purposes
According to the previous table, the minimum number of required spaces for
trucks should be equal to the number of stores which is 8. The actual available
number for trucks parking and maneuvering is 10 which is greater than the
minimum by about 25%.
For Passenger cars, there no universally known rates for calculating the
number of parking units required for such type of structures. Some American
103
specifications says that it should be not less than 1 parking bay for each 100
square meters of the administrative buildings.
The total area of administrative buildings is approximately 2500 square meters

for both floors; which requires accordingly about 25 parking bays; the number
of private car holding bays might be considered sufficient.
People Having Disabilities
The people having disabilities are taken into the account. One parking bay with
ramps leading to the platform was planned to be there to serve 3.13% of the
parking users.
Maneuvering Speeds
The speed used for validating maneuvering for different vehicles were
assumed to be 5 km/hr when moving forward, and 2.5 km/hr when it moves
back during the maneuvering.
Maneuvering of Heavy Trucks
As it might be noted from the next figure, there are 8 trucks serving the stores,
also there are 2 parking bays might be used as a maneuvering bays for
changing the direction of movement of any truck, or in case of saturated traffic
capacity of stores; it might be used as holding bays.
Figure 10: Parking bays of Trucks, and maneuvering bays
104
Here are some samples for the trucks maneuverings. All maneuverings were
tested using simulation softwares. The chosen maneuverings are
representative for all the rest of maneuverings and give an idea about how
adequate is the available space for the trucks’ maneuverings.
Maneuvering of Truck Number 1
Figure 11: Maneuvering of truck number 1
The truck comes from the position number 1 to enter the gate of the plot until
reaching position number 2, then stops and begin to move backwards until
reaching the platform at position 3. After the end of the truck’s mission it
begins to move forward and getting out the plot from the plot exit gate and
then join the traffic of the main external road at position 4.
Maneuvering of the perpendicular trucks (2 to 6)
As a sample for these trucks, truck number 3 was chosen to introduce the
maneuvering procedures.

move forward and getting out the plot from the plot exit gate and then join the
traffic of the main external road at position 6.
Maneuvering of truck number 8

turning perpendicularly until reaching the platform at position 3. The truck after
that moves from position number 3 to position number 4. The truck then
moves backwards from location 4 to location 5 at with the truck mission
(loading| unloading) starts. After the end of the truck’s mission it begins to
move
forward and getting out the plot from the plot exit gate and then join the traffic
of the main external road at position 6.
Maneuvering of Passenger Cars
All maneuverings were tested using simulation softwares. As a sample of

passenger cars maneuvering, the following one is presented.
Figure 15: Maneuvering of passenger cars
107
The passenger car comes from the position number 1 to enter the gate of the
plot until reaching position number 2, then stops and begin to move backwards
and turning perpendicularly until reaching the parking bay at position 3. After
the end of the passenger car’s mission it begins to move forward and getting
out the plot from the plot exit gate and then join the traffic of the main external
road at position 4.
Maneuvering of Fire Trucks
In case of emergency case of fire initiation the determined areas in the

following sketch. The maneuvering of these fire trucks can be made
comfortably as per the simulation model.
Figure 16: Maneuvering of fire trucks
Validation of proposed turning radii
The maneuvering study shows that all the used curves have sufficient
curvature to satisfy safe turnings in the movement directions for the traffic units
that use the curve. The curbs also were checked to be away enough from the
swept path of the different vehicles.
External Traffic Study
Although the external traffic study is out of scope of this project. The internal
traffic study showed that the spaces available for the traffic which is intended
to use the plot is sufficient for accommodating such traffic. Accordingly, we
expect no or limited impact of the internal traffic on the external traffic;
108
especially because no waiting of any traffic units, and no maneuvering actions
will be made outside the plot gates.
Conclusion
The proposed design of traffic arrangements is sufficient for accommodating

the expected traffic that would use the plot whether in waiting, in service, or
maneuvering. No or slight influence of the traffic that would use the plot on the
external traffic.

5.4.5. Proposal of Grading
A set of drawings was prepared by the highway engineering department. The

drawings include longitudinal sections, and plans for the levels that should be
followed in order to satisfy the adequate serviceability of the plot.
Concept of the Interior Roads Grading
The road levels are chosen to satisfy the following criteria as possible:
 The roads should serve the stores platforms levels as possible
 The slopes of the interior roads should drain the storm water and the
rain fall and other water out of the plot.
 The interior road levels of the plot should be designed for prohibition of
any water to enter the plot.
 The interior road levels should meet the levels of the surrounding
roads network especially at gates.

6.3. DESIGN CRITERIA
The light industrial and logistic unit at Ras Bufontas economic zone comprises storage areas as
well as administration areas.
The main materials selected for the structure are structural steel and reinforced concrete,
materials readily available, economic and in wide application in local construction.
Specifically, the super structure covering the storage areas is studied as a steel structure, as
the appropriate lightweight economical solution for achieving the large spans (up to 21m), and
free space required for functionality, while the administration areas are studied as a reinforced
concrete (RC) structure for ease of construction, load carrying capability and appropriate to the
119
fire safety demands of the spaces. The building design working life is considered 50 years
according to QCS specification Section-01: Part-01.
For the storage areas, the gravity loads acting on the steel structure are transferred through the
framing action of the Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame (OMRF) to the foundations. Lateral
load resisting systems in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the main framing system
are utilized to provide stability of the structure to support lateral Wind the Seismic loads (see
figures 1.1-1.3). The loads imposed by the stored items are transferred directly to the R.C. slab
on grade at the storage area. The administration areas structural systems area composed of a
traditional column, beam and slab RC structure. The following figure shows the layout of
building WH-PA-04.

The acting loads are determined according to BS EN 1991 Eurocode 1: Actions on Structures
and Qatar Construction Specifications QCS2014. The load actions and load combinations are
discussed in Section 6.5.1. The design procedure of steel components is carried out according
to EUROCODE 3 BS EN-1993. The design procedure of RC components is carried out
according to EUROCODE 2 BS EN 1992.
For the sub-structure, the foundation system for the steel structures is a combination of isolated
and combined pedestal footing according to the reactions computed from the super-structure
analysis. Foundations for structural RC columns in the RC building are designed as a
combination of isolated and combined. Flooring is a slab on grade, isolated from the pedestal,
ground beam and any base equipment.
The foundation is designed for the worst combination of dead, live, temperature and
wind/seismic loads. The foundation for the different structures is designed according to BS
8004:1986 Code of practice for Foundations, however they do not confirm to the Project
Specifications. Foundation is designed with a factor of safety of 2 against ultimate bearing
capacity failure of the sub-soil. A factor of safety of 2 against overturning, 1.5 against sliding
and 1.4 for buoyancy is considered in foundation stability analysis.
Permanent settlement of foundations shall not exceed 25mm and the differential settlement of
individual foundations shall not exceed 10mm. According to the Geotechnical report the
121
allowable net soil bearing capacity is 250KPa for depth of foundation 1.5m from ground level for
both the building WH-PA-04 and WH-PA-04.

The wind loads are assessed, as minimum, as per Wind Load as per QCS 2014 results may be
obtained by calculating wind loads according to ASCE 7-05 method 2 (analytical method) such
that the basic wind speed is 38m/s and the exposure category C. Following is a summary of the
wind load application to the light structural unit of PA-WH-07 and WH-PA-04. The velocity
pressure can be calculated by the following equation
Such that Kd is the wind directionality factor, Kd = 0.85
And Kzt topographic factor defined, see Section, Kzt =1
And Kz velocity pressure exposure coefficient, its value is determined according to the exposure
category (C) and the structure height from the following table:
The maximum velocity pressure at the highest point in the structure is 820 N/m 2.The design
wind pressure is calculated from the following equation:
129
Such that Gf is the gust wind factor and is taken as 0.85 and Cp is the external wind pressure
coefficient. The wind pressure distribution for mono-slope type roof structure is as follows:
The wind pressure coefficients are considered according to the wind direction and roof slope
(θ=9˚) from the following table:
130
Wind load design cases are considered according to ASCE 7-05 load case 1 and load case 3
shown in the following figure:
131
6.6. ANALYSIS AND DESIGN SOFTWARE
CSI SAP 2000 is used for the analysis and design of the steel structure. CSI ETABS and CSI
SAFE software is used for the analysis and design of RC structures. Furthermore, PROKON is
used for the design of foundations.
132
6.7. FOUNDATION DESIGN SOFTWARE
The sub-structure reactions are imported from the analysis files of the steel as well as the RC
structures. The foundation for the different structures is designed according to BS EN 1992
requirements. The PROKON software is used for the design of the foundation.
The depth of soil above footing was considered 0.75m. Weight of top soil layer (0.5m) was
neglected. The foundation analysis and design for all the sub-structures is executed
accordingly. It is worth mentioning that the serviceability limit states such as stability and
overturning are the governing load cases for most of the footings dimensions.
The foundations have been designed for allowable stresses confirming to BS 8004: 1986 Code
of Practice for Foundations. An increase of 25% was permitted in the allowable bearing capacity
for transient loads such as Wind and earthquake load combinations. This allowable increase of
25% for transient load combinations complies with BS 8004: 1986 Code of Practice for
Foundations- Cl 2.3.2.4.3 Wind loading and also with BD 74/00 Foundations Cl 2.3.2.4.3 Wind
loading.
6.8. ANALYSIS OF SUPER-STRUCTURES/STEEL GEOMETRIC DATA
The analysis of the super structure is divided into two models; a SAP2000 V18 model for the
steel structure and an ETABS/SAFE model for the RC structure. For all steel structures the roof
covering system consists of purlins and double layer steel sheet roof.
The structural system of the steel structure consists of a main frame of saw tooth type spaced
at 7.35m and of span 21m. The main structural system is illustrated in Figures 6.1 and 6.2. The
main structure also supports lateral loads such as wind and seismic loads acting in its plane.
Figure 6.3 shows a plan for the main structural system. The out-of-plane lateral loads are
supported the bracing structural system shown in Figures 1 and 2. The steel components
design is carried out according to the BS EN 1993 specifications and the load combinations
mentioned in Section 6.4. Figure 6.4 shows the design interaction results from the SAP2000
model and all interactions are below 1.

7.6. Concept Design Initial Fire Fighting Calculations
7.6.1. Fire Water Storage Calculation
The required water volume for the Firefighting Water Tank will be calculated based on the
Design Criteria in paragraph 7.5.2 after examining various possible scenarios of operation and
selecting the most demanding. For both plots, PA-WH-04 and PA-WH-07 the scenarios are the
same.
Scenario 1:
Activation of sprinklers in the industrial area of a unit (ESFR sprinklers) and simultaneous use of
2 Hose reels.
As per the design criteria 12 ESFR sprinklers with K=12 @ 50psi will be activated for 60
minutes.
The flow from each sprinkler is determined from its K-factor from the formula Q = K √P where:
Q = flow in gpm
162
K = K factor in gpm/(psi)1/2
P = residual pressure in psi
Q = 12 x √50 = 85,85 gpm = 5.4lt/sec
The total estimated flow from the sprinklers will be 12 x 1.25 x 84.85 = 1273 gpm, where the
1.25 is a correction factor to take into account the variation of the sprinkler water density since
the network can’t be 100% symmetrical.
As per QCDD requirements the total flow from the Hose reels will be 100 gpm.
Total required flow: 1273 + 100 = 1373 gpm. As per NFPA 20 standardization a pump with 1500
gpm @ 10 bar will be selected.
For 60 minutes operation the total required water volume is 60 x 1500 = 90000 gal = 340 m 3.
This total volume will be divided into two equal fire water tanks.
For the final capacity calculation analytic Hydraulic calculations will be provided.
Scenario 2:
Activation of sprinklers in the office area of a unit and simultaneous use of 2 Hose reels.
The total required flow from the sprinklers will be 1500 x 0.20 x 1.3 = 390 gpm, where 1500 is
the covered area in ft2, 0.20 is the density in gpm/ft2 and 1.3 is a correction factor to take into
account the variation of the sprinkler water density since the network can’t be 100%
symmetrical.
As per QCDD requirements the total flow from the Hose reels will be 100 gpm.
Total required flow: 390 + 100 = 490 gpm < 1373.
The requirements of this scenario are covered from scenario 1.
7.6.2. Fire Pump Calculation
As per the above calculations a fire fighting pump of 1500 gpm @ 10 bar will be selected. The
firefighting pump set will have the following characteristics:

(l/s/person) will be used together for the design wherein the definitive occupancy density
is undefined in the architectural layouts.
b. Occupant density used where furniture layout or anticipated occupancy is not

established.
c. Rate is per water closet or urinal.
d. 25 l/s for intermittent use.
e. Not applicable.
The Ventilation required for the Industrial area of each unit is related to the production process.
This will be dependent from each tenant and the information is not available at this stage. For
the concept design stage the assumption of 5000 m 3/h for each unit is made.
All fresh air intakes shall pass through sand trap louvers with pre-filters to remove particulate
matter before being allowed to enter the Air Handling Units or Ventilation system.
Smoke Ventilation shall comply with NFPA 92 and relevant QCDD standards.
Warehouse, workshop, production areas and any other area that smoke control is required will
be equipped additionally with smoke extract fans providing 10 ACH of exhaust rate.
Final smoke ventilation requirements are subject to change based on the Type of storage
materials, arrangement and condition of production and storage areas.
7.7.7. Infiltration
Rate of infiltration (assumption): 0.3 air volumes per hour.
To prevent ingress of outside ambient air, the building will be pressurized by supplying
minimum 10% treated outside air in excess of the building exhaust air. Also, the overall
differential air pressure between inside and outside will be maintained in the range of +4Pa to
+5 Pa. This is sufficient to prevent infiltration and is proven to avoid over-pressurization that
could result in whistling noise through doors, windows and building cracks.
Internal to the building positive or negative pressure zones are not required from the laboratory
procedures.
172
7.7.8. Heat Load Estimation Method
Proposed Software: CARRIER HAP (Hourly Analysis Program) Version 4.50 or higher.
Design safety factors to be used,
 Sensible heat gains: 10%
 Latent heat gains: 5%
 Design supply air temperature: 12.8oC or 10oC differential temperature from the room
design one
7.7.9. Noise Levels
Noise levels inside conditioned spaces will be maintained as stipulated in ASHRAE

Fundamentals Handbook as summarized here below.
 Private Offices: NC 30
 Public Offices: NC 35
 Lobbies/Reception: NC 35
 Toilets/Pantries: NC 40
 Workshop: NC 50
 Warehouse: NC 55
7.7.10. Air distribution system
Duct work design will be based on,
 Design methodology : Equal friction rate method;
 Pressure loss gradient : 0.80-2.0 Pa/m;
 Air velocity in main ducts : 10 m/s (Maximum);
173
 Air velocity in branch ducts : 8 m/s (Maximum);
 Air velocity in runout : 5 m/s (Maximum);
 Duct leakage allowance : 2% (ASHRAE Fundamentals).

 Sand trap louver face velocity : 0.5m/s;
 Supply air grilles : 2.54m/s @ NC30;
 Return air grilles : 2.54m/s @ NC30;
 Transfer grilles face velocity : 1.0-1.5m/s;
 Transfer air door undercuts : 1.0-1.5m/s.
7.7.11. Air conditioning system
Although the provision of A/C systems is not a requirement, air conditioning systems are
proposed in order for the contractor to supply the necessary provisions (power, space etc) for
future installation.
For the industrial area the possible options are between a chilled water based system and a DX
system. Since each tenant must be autonomous due to the number and size of each sub-unit
the use of multiple water bases systems with separate chillers and cooling towers is not
suitable. The DX systems that are considered are a Packaged Rooftop system or the use of an
AHU with DX coils and separate DX condenser. Rooftop packaged units are favored due to is
more compact design and the restricted available installation space.
For the office areas the possible options are again between a chilled water based system and a
DX system. Since each tenant must be autonomous due to the number and size of each sub-
unit the use of multiple water bases systems with separate chillers and cooling towers is again
not suitable. The DX systems that are considered are a split type a/c units and VRF type a/c
174
systems. The VRF systems are favored due to its increased efficiency and the offer of a
centralized control system.
Hench the proposed air conditioning systems are as follows:
 Industrial areas: packaged direct expansion unit (rooftop) for each tenant.
 Air conditioned individual areas: split unit or Variable refrigerant flow unit depending on
the building (indoor unit will be wall mounted or 4way cassette or ducted low or high
pressure) for each tenant.
The a/c units will use R410a refrigerant or equivalent environmentally friendly.
The Package rooftop unit for the industrial are of the ILUs location shall be shown tentatively in
the Architectural drawings with the provision of wall openings for Supply / Return air ducts to
enter the industrial area.
The Outdoor unit location for the office VRF units shall be shown tentatively in the Architectural
drawings with the provision of roof cutouts to run the Refrigerant pipes, control cables, etc., to
interconnect with the Indoor & Outdoor units serving the Office area.
Additionally, the design shall specifically address and demonstrate that all mechanical
equipment, accessories and devices that would be considered as part of the routine
maintenance operation shall be located in a way that they are easily and safely accessible.
Maintenance and equipment access path shall maintain a head room clearance not less than
2100mm clear and be free from any low level or floor level installation that obstruct or interferes
with Trolley access to all mechanical equipment.
All fresh air supply systems shall be dust free and utilized to provide necessary ventilation air
requirements in addition to keeping the building positively pressurized relative to outdoor. The
fresh air system shall be a forced system and design to suit local ambient conditions an
optimize maintenance requirements (use of inertial filter or other approved similar system /
device).
All synthetic and plastic materials used in above ground installation or within the ceiling plenum
shall comply with the 25/ 50 Flame spread/ Smoke development index rating as tested by
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) ASTM-E84.
