h. Employ comprehensive data analysis and predictive modelling techniques to estimate
the likely odour profile of the foul sewer tunnel system, informing optimal odour control
design strategies.
i. Assess the potential odour impacts on surrounding communities, sensitive receptors
(e.g., hospitals, schools), and the environment. Identify potential odour nuisance zones
and risks to public health.
j. Prepare Concept Design drawings which shall include but not limited to Plan layouts,
longitudinal profiles, typical detail drawings of Manholes, Tunnels and Shafts, Combined
Utility drawings, Survey drawings, Interface/ Connections etc.
