Doha: The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) announced the completion of 3.2-km treated sewage effluent (TSE) lines to serve Al Gharrafa Park and nearby green areas.
Once the irrigation network was completed, the Public Works Authority started to accelerate development works for some roads in Al Gharrafa area, including the street parallel to Umm Al Zubar and the streets perpendicular to them, which are surrounding Al-Gharrafa Park.
Eng. Fahad Muhammad Al-Otaibi, Ashghal’s Head of the Western Areas Section in the Roads Projects Department (RPD), pointed out that the project has several benefits including the sustainable exploitation of treated effluent to irrigate and increase the green space, parks and plants alongside streets in the area, and regulating the traffic and easing access to sports facilities and residential areas in the vicinity.
As for the roads upgrading works, they are currently underway as the streets around Al-Gharrafa Park are being upgraded with a total length of 1.5 km. Works include street lighting and street safety features, road markings and road and traffic signs. Further to road works, the project scope comprises infrastructure utilities lines such as irrigation networks, surface water, rainwater and groundwater drainage networks.
The Road Improvement Works in the Western Areas Project is part of Ashghal’s plan to improve roads and infrastructure networks services in several areas in Al-Gharrafa and Al-Rayyan, and that all works are scheduled to be completed by the second quarter of 2021.
