1.1. Description
TYPSA is working as an engineering subconsultant to Ricardo Bofill Taller De Arquitectura (RBTA) and have
been appointed by the King Salman Park Foundation (KSPF) to develop the design for the Royal Arts Complex
(RAC), King Salman Park, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Royal Arts Complex is a monumental project of
future world renown. The complex covers a land area of 400,000sqm with a diverse range of buildings from
simple two storey concrete frame buildings to the 100-meter-tall Museum of Civilizations.
This report is part of Royal Arts Complex- Design Development stage. The objective is to describe the water
systems.

Table 3: Design flows at each discharge point into the KSP network
In addition to the three runs outlined in the Table, one extra connection points are proposed to serve a
security booth external to the main buildings but within the RAC plot. Flow from this booth is from one or two
sanitary fixtures only, and a minimal design flow can therefore be expected.
Flows from security booths outside the RAC plot (to be designed by others) have not been included and are
outside of the development boundary.
The connection points and their associated flows are shown in Figure 5: Sanitary Network Connections to KSP
Network above.
2.4.4.Off-site discharge
Each RAC sanitary drainage run will discharge into the proposed network of gravity sewers serving the
King Salman Park development. RAC is served by sanitary sewers located in the highway along the
southern boundary of both Plots, as well as in the Boulevard separating Plots A and B.
Four connection points to the KSP network are proposed at manholes within the highway. Plot B flows
will discharge to the south and east.
For the purposes of calculating discharge flows, as requested by Omrania, a calculation based on
estimated potable water consumption has been carried out. This calculation takes estimated daily
demands per person, and assumes an 85% conversion to the sanitary system to calculate an average
daily flow to the sewer. A peaking factor is then applied to the flow using Babbitt’s formula.
Point 6 in the figure above corresponds with the emptying of the water feature. The expected flow is 5 l/s.

The dewatering system is located under level 609.92 m except the fire tank area whose level is 605.05 m.
A perimeter pipeline around the basement has been considered together with a branched inner network. All
pipes are perforated PVC of 150 mm inner diameter.
Five pumping chambers have been considered. The flow rates of each sector into which the area has been
divided are as follows

The design of the fire protection system of the buildings is developed in the MEP package.
A hydrant next to each of the fire tanks has been placed at the request of the Civil Defence consultant.
The diameter of the hydrant supply ring is 250 mm. The supply branches to each hydrant are 200 mm in
diameter. The material of all pipes is ductile cast iron.
The filling of the hydrant network tanks is done from the KPS TTSE pipe through a 160 mm diameter SDR11
PN16 HDPE pipe.
3.6.1.General Strategy
The irrigation network will be designed considering the most automated irrigation standards with the aim of
improving the water distribution, decreasing the water consumption, and minimizing the hand labour
requirements during the operation and maintenance (O&M).
Irrigation system will be automatically operated by electric solenoid valves and irrigation controllers ensuring
that only the predetermined volume of water is delivered to the plants according to their daily water
requirements.
The system will also allow for the possibility of manual hose irrigation in case emergency watering of the
landscaped areas is required.
Irrigation water will be conveyed to the plant by a network of underground main, sub main and lateral pipes and
delivered in controlled volumes by drip emitters and sprinklers.
Treated sewage effluent (TSE), supplied by NWC, will be the primary source of irrigation water.
According to the conclusion from meetings with KSP ‘s Consultants, two types of water will be supplied
depending on its quality. The one with the best quality (TTSE- Tertiary Treated Sewage Effluent) will have been
treated at a RO plant before being available to the RAC, while the one with less quality (STSE- Secondary
Treated Sewage Effluent) will arrive to the RAC plot after a lighter treatment. The following data has been
provided from Omrania:
§ The parameters of maximum allowable contaminant levels in unrestricted irrigation waters, according
the below table, shall be considered. if need further low TDS, treatment should be provide at site.
In addition, the points of connection of the King Salman Park (KSP) irrigation network to the public network have
been coordinated with the NWC.

where appropriate.
§ Sleeves wherever pipe crosses road with traffic load and any structural element will be provided.
§ Accessibility for maintenance will be considered in the design of the irrigation networks
High density polyethylene (HDPE 100 PN16 - SDR11) will be used for main pipes and quick coupling valves
networks.
All PE pipes will be compliant with the SASO 14 and SASO 15 local specifications and with the commonly used
international codes and standards and best practices.
All pipe connector fittings will be PE, the same material of the attached pipe, with pressure rating 16 bar. Joints in

The system will be composed by the minimum possible set of components, being some of these (but not
restricted to):
Considering the use of recycled water and/or treated sewage effluent (TSE), all new irrigation facilities, both
above grade or undergrounded be marked in purple colour, Pantone 512 or 522C.
All solenoid valves will be connected to an irrigation controller to be programmed to not open at the same time.
This way, solenoid valves will open at different times for each one of the sectors considered.
Considering a pressure regulating is installed at each solenoid valve, low density polyethylene (LDPE 40 PN6) for
lateral pipes is proposed.
Compression fittings and clamp saddle are proposed to be located at secondary networks, downstream of the
solenoid valves and once pressure is reduced.

§ Medium lawn areas: Considering size and geometry of the area, pop-up rotor (inlet size 1/2") for medium
lawn areas is proposed. Radius: 4.3 to 11.6 m. Flow range: 0.13 to 1.23 m3/h. A suitable selection of
nozzles will allow a uniform rainfall.
The minimum components that will be necessary for a correct design are the following: manifold or supply line,
pressure compensated in-line drip emitters, air relief valve, manual flush valve, kit control hydro-zone (solenoid
valve, ball valve, filter, pressure regulator).
The pressure compensating system allows the flow to remain constant regardless of a pressure range (0.58 to
4.1 bar).
Drip tubes will be buried 100mm below finish level resulting in less evaporation and run-off losses.
Sprayers and rotors are proposed to irrigate the lawn areas. These will have matched precipitation rate lower § Reinforced lawn areas: A lower infiltration rate in reinforced lawn areas should be considered. Therefore,

§ Large lawn areas: Considering size and geometry of the area, pop-up rotor (inlet size 1") for large lawn
areas is proposed. Radius: 11.9 to 21.6 m. Flow range: 0.82 to 7.24 m3/h. A suitable selection of nozzles
will allow a uniform rainfall.
Master Valve & Flow Sensor shall be compatible with the proposed Irrigation Decoder Controller.
Inside the irrigation area, each irrigation sector will be governed by 1“, 1.5" and 2” solenoid valves. Selected
solenoid valves should be compatible with decoders control systems. Solenoid valves will be equipped with

any of its elements.
A master electric valve should be installed at each main line, downstream of the pump and connected at the
irrigation controller. It should allow the water be on the network as long as any irrigation zone valves are on, and
so it only should stop the flow when the entire irrigation system is off, at the end of the irrigation cycle.
The installation of a master valve will greatly reduce any water loss due to a leaky station valve.
These valves will open whenever any station is operating, and will close when no station valves are on duty,
shutting off the pressure in the main line. Figure 17: Solenoid valve proposed
As a rule, to control pressure within an irrigation sector, a pressure regulation device will be considered. Pressure § Inlet Pressure: 15 to 115 psi (1.03 to 7.9 bar)

Plot A network has been updated in this delivery 3B. Plot B has not been updated as it is still in the schematic
design stage.
External KSP sitewide infrastructure is to be designed by the KSP consultant. The KSP consultant will be
responsible for developing the external surface water drainage and flood defence systems to manage all off-site
flows in major and minor events not to impact the RAC plot. While taking cognisance of the drainage and/or
conveyance systems required by the sitewide drainage and road network, the RAC design team shall not be
responsible for designing these elements beyond the development boundary.
The plot surface water management strategy is to collect and convey rainfall runoff in a controlled manner for
safe discharge to the site outfalls. Conveyance is proposed primarily through gravity at grade and sub-surface
systems, which utilizes sustainable urban drainage features for conveyance, together with the proposed
topography for retention and attenuation.
Within the structural envelope, discharge from roof and podium level collected by the building services network
to be conveyed within the basement Level 01 high-level MEP zone. Priority routing of surface water pipes within
the MEP zone is proposed to allow a gravity connection to the basement’s perimeter. The below-ground piped
networks link the building to the attenuation systems situated below ground, along in podium perimeter and plot
boundary before discharging in a controlled manner into the receiving KSP surface water systems.
Surface water runoff falling into basement open escalators, stairwells, and access tunnels will be collected and
conveyed to surface water pumping stations located within the basement located below the lowest structural

Surface water – Part A – Engineering Report `KSP-SAL-P1-DD-EW-REP-SW-01` prepared by SALFO KSA provides
details to the existing drainage regime and proposed flood management strategy. The KSP consultant is
responsible for developing all sitewide infrastructure and flood management systems located externally to the
RAC plot boundary.
Figure 3 shows the current expected 100-year event + 20% Climate Change (CC) flood map path, which
indicates flood risk to the existing site and external areas to the north and west. An existing major flood route is
similarly indicated flowing north to south within the current road and drainage networks, suggesting that the
existing site may be subject to external flood threat. The proposed KSP master plan will significantly develop the
existing topography and exceedance routes surrounding the RAC site. The KSP master plan is to mitigate future
flood risk to the RAC plot as part of the sitewide master plan.
It could be expected that in the major flood event, the receiving surface water system located to the southwest of
Plot B may surcharge, which could result in water ponding back along the proposed KSP roads. This could result
in external waters flowing into the Plot B basement access ramps. The KSP consultant is to consider the external
receiving networks' current and future outlet conditions to ensure all off-site flows in both major and minor
events are managed externally, not to impact the RAC plot.

The runoff coefficient (C) is defined by the type of surface over which the runoff will flow (typical values 0-1). The
existing Airbase site is relatively undeveloped, with much of the existing ground unchanged from its natural form.
The appropriate time of concentration for the peak flow at any point in the catchment is the longest time of
flow to that point. However, in some situations, the peak flow may occur when only part of the upstream
catchment contributes. This typically occurs for partially developed watersheds. A smaller portion of a
catchment may have a shorter concentration time, which produces a greater peak discharge than if the
whole upstream catchment is being considered. An assessment of the time of concentration for each plot
as well as the partial area effect was conducted.
