STATE OF QATAR ‘SCHEDULE A: PROJECT BRIEF
ASHGHAL _ PART 2A: SURFACE WATER PROJECT SPECIFIC COMPLIANCES AND
OTHER REQUIREMENTS
e. Drop shaft pipes shall be designed so that a minimum air core of 25% of
the area of the drop shaft pipe is maintained under the peak design flow.
{The Froude number in the approach conduit to the vortex generator shall
be less than 0.6 at the peak design flow.
g. The distance between the vortex generator and any steps, bends,
transitions or other hydraulic obstructions in the approach conduit shall
be greater than 3xB, where B is the width of the approach conduit.
hh. Drop shaft pipes shall be vertical and shall not have any discontinuities.
2. The design of energy dissipation chambers at the base of vortex drop shaft
pipes and backdrop structures shall be in accordance with the following criteria:
a. The height of the end of the drop shaft pipe shail be the greater of 1)
1.5*Dp above the invert of the dissipation chamber, where Dp is the
diameter of the drop shaft pipe, or 2) the soffit level of the tunnel at the
particular shaft location.
b, The drop shaft pipe shall protrude a minimum of 150mm below the roof
of the dissipation chamber at the base of the shaft.
c. The edge of the drop shaft pipe shall be a minimum distance of 0.5xD,
from any wall and shall be positioned to the side of the dissipation
chamber to maximise the dissipation area,
d. An overflow weir of minimum height of 0.3*D; from the dissipation
chamber floor shall be provided to discharge vortex flow, where Di is the
intemal diameter of the outgoing. This weir wall shall have a drainage
opening at its base with benching formed within the dissi
direct drainage of the chamber towards the opening.
€. Provision shall be made to protect the dissipation chamber against
abrasive forces due to the water falling down the drop shaft pipe and
turbulent flow within the chamber.
life for the all access structures, hydraulic structures, pipework and all
civil works shail be eighty (80) years.
B, The minimum design life for orifice plates (minimum 3161) shall be twenty (20) years.
C. Design life is defined as the life for which the structure maintains adequate structural
‘capacity and integrity with sufficient serviceability provided for proper operation of the
system throughout the term.
D. _Allelements of the structures shall be designed to achieve the durability requirements
by:
1. appropriate selection of materials;
2. consideration of the long-term deterioration of materials in their service
‘environment; and
3. due care in design and detailing so as to facilitate ease of construction.
E. Particular consideration shall be given to the durability of elements that cannot be
accessed for inspection, maintenance or repair during normal operations, including
microtunnels, piping, shafts, hydraulic structures, ducting, and all other sub-surface
works, The design solulon for such elements ‘shal use prover technology and
incorporate:
