Project Brief
1. ARCHITECTURAL

The Roshn Real Estate Employer is intending to execute SEDRA 2 Master plan in Riyadh
and has entrusted the consultative Alliance of Perkins Eastman (PE) & Engineering
Consultants Group (ECG) to carry out the design works and consultancy service related
to the project, the design works include; concept, schematic drawings, design
development, detailed design and construction documents.

a. Site Location

Project Brief
1.1 CONCEPT DESIGN

ECG taken into consideration while putting the preliminary design concept ideas that
the utility buildings should express the power of the concept and the culture in Riyadh
through a building that contains power, beauty and simplicity at the same time.

The design aimed to have a unique building integrated with other surrounding
buildings within the Riyadh, by using modern approach for design and material
selection with using structural glazing for opening & aluminum louvers to serve the
project.

The architectural design based on allocating the utility buildings around service roads.
Such design allow the users to have efficient spaces to work.

Based on the received design requirements of that part of the project titled with

WATER TANK BUILDINGS PACKAGE consists of four buildings surrounded by fence as

following:

3. WATER TANK MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

3.1 WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM

 The water supply system designed to fed fresh water to the buildings B01, B03 &
B04 with a tie-in point of adequate size.
 Hot water supply for toilets in buildings B01 & B04 shall be utilized by using
individual storage type electric water heaters.

3.2 DRAINAGE SYSTEM

 Two-pipe gravity system comprising soil and waste stack in buildings B01, B03 &
B04 connected to site main drainage network.
 The drainage system shall be divided into two zones. An upper zone for the
ground floor and above ground in buildings B01, B03 & B04, and a lower zone for
floor below ground in building B01 are collected in sump pit then discharged to
external network through duplex submersible sump set and retarding chamber.

3.3 STORM WATER SYSTEM

Storm water Roof drains shall connected to leaders, leaders shall be freely discharge.

3.4 FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS

 Automatic clean agent system utilizing the NOVEC 1230 as the suppression agent
for building B01 in generator, LV, TR & RMU rooms.
 Portable fire extinguishers FE-1 & FE-2 shall be distributed throughout the building
based on the requirements of NFPA 10. In addition to the mobile foam
extinguisher FE-3 shall be used for the generator room protection.

4. WATER TANK ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

4.1 MEDIUM VOLTAGE TEI-IN & SUBSTATION

 MV feeders designed at 13.8KV 500mm² Aluminum cables and installed

underground throughout the site.
 The Substation Building fed from External MV loop Tie-in to the RMU.
 The Substation include RMU, 1 MVA Transformer, 800 KVA Generator and main
distribution board with ATS panel and PFC.

6. INFRASTRUCTURE

Objective

The main objective of this presentation is to briefly go through all infrastructure wet
utilities demonstrating it basis of design and its application on the project elements

Infrastructure wet utilities – Transmission line section 2

 Combined potable water and firefighting network

 Including: transmission line, Storage Tank.
 Basis of design:

The general basis of design is to provide the water from its source at an economic flow
velocity to achieve the best network sizing while providing the water at a suitable rate
and pressure.

The water provide should cover the water demands of the residents based on their
activities.

Network elements

The first component of the network is the transmission line which delivers the water
from its source provided by the municipality and deliver it to the storage tank.

The water tank is responsible of two functions, the first is to maintain the water supply
in case of the water flow has a cut off, the second function is to provide balance
between water supply and demand.
