Projection Locations:
The project is located in Free Zone 5 in Sohar
Scope of Work:
The Scope of Work has been divided into phases as follows:
Stage 1 – Assessment of the existing hydrologic conditions
The Project Area shall encompass the central and upper catchments of Wadi Bani Umar Al Gharbi, and if required Wadi Suq, up-gradient/ upstream of the Expressway.
Carry out a hydrologic assessment of the catchment area to develop an understanding of the hydraulic mechanisms of the site and surrounding areas in terms of the following:
- Design flood and flood return periods consistent with Sultanate of Oman Standards, Ministry of Regional Municipalities and Water Resources (MRMWR) and other international guidelines.
- Identify sub-catchment areas and natural storm water flow paths upstream, along and downstream of the plot, and discharge points.
- Identify obstructions to natural flow paths. Play particular attention to the impact of the Expressway, Railway and Dam.
- Assess current flood risk of the plot and surroundings areas.
- Assess groundwater levels.
- Liaise with Ministry of Regional Municipalities and Water Resources (MRMWR) and obtain flood data for the site.
- Determine flood levels for the existing conditions within the plot and surroundings.
Stage 2 – Assessment of the post development hydrologic conditions
Include the proposed IWTF development, and carry out a hydrologic assessment of the post development conditions.
Compile all findings which should include:
- Description of the geological and hydrological framework of the project site.
- Analysis of catchment areas and generated runoff affecting the site and the wadi paths in the vicinity of the site.
