Smart strategy
Smart Technique: Waste Management
Goal: Minimize landfill, clean air and environment, solve the constrain of pollution
Brief:
First of all to apply this program, a smart bin is
the main accessory and transition to
incineration plants…
1. Smart bins
Designed to recognise different types of waste.
A smart system positioned inside the container
uses sensors, image recognition and artificial
intelligence to do this.
They consist of numerous enabled sensors,
which work as real-time indicators to
determine if the bins are full or not, and help to
customise the waste collection schedule
around the city accordingly.
Studies of the alternative
1 bin for every 100 Sq. yards max
Environmental:
Since the northwest direction has the best winds, residents
with high income will be placed in the upper part of the
city with the linear system for better ventilation and
weather and the streets will be placed in the wind
direction. On the other hand, residents with lower income
will be places in the radial system at the southern part of
the city. Moreover, in order to prevent undesired wind,
streets and vegetation will be places perpendicular in the
radial part.-

Topography:
Al Obour city ground does not have one level; however, if
you go through its streets you will recognize that it has
some high areas and some low ones. This affected our plan
and allowed us to place the residents with high income in
the higher part of the city and the low income residents in
the lower level land so it becomes easier for buses and

the trash bins; the city should be studied to effectively
place the smart bins around the districts and
neighbourhoods to enable serving every citizen and
always being accessible, whilst staying linked via the
application to notify workers when the garbage is full.
Lastly, the incineration plants as inspired by
Singapore. These minimize the problem faced in
Obour of the constant air pollution and disposed
garbage caused by the innumerable factories active in
the region.
2. WTE (Waste to Energy Smart System) Process:
Trucks carry the waste out of the smart bins, bunker to
seal odours, rotary crushers for crushing and
breakdown of solid waste, heat from combustion
produces steam for turbines, generating electricity,
waste is reduced and incinerated, smoke is cured
through an extensive filtration process, removes
toxins, released to atmosphere, non-combustible metal
filtrated and recycled, remaining ash to landfill,
reduces waste by 90%
Soil
The land itself is not unified. Some areas of the city have
rocky soil and so other parts have sandy soil. Since it is
expensive to excavate in the rocky soil, we decided to
place expensive houses over this rocky soil so it becomes
worth the expensive excavation and provide maximum
return on expense.
