Project Details
- Residential Towers – Plumbing & Drainage
- 3rd April 2022
- Golden Oasis Developers
- Plumbing, Drainage, Residential MEP
Lemos International successfully delivered comprehensive plumbing and drainage solutions for three high-rise residential towers located in Ajman, UAE. The project encompassed the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of advanced MEP systems tailored to meet the demands of modern residential living.
Our scope of work included:
- Plumbing Systems: Installation of water supply networks with pressure zones and booster pump systems to ensure consistent water flow across all 14 floors.
- Drainage Systems: Design and execution of internal and external drainage networks, including linkage to the Ajman municipal mains and setup of inspection chambers.
- MEP Integration: Coordination with other trades to ensure seamless integration of plumbing and drainage systems with HVAC, electrical, and fire protection services.
The project was executed with precision, adhering to international standards and delivering a reliable, efficient, and sustainable solution for the residents of the towers.
Key Features of the Project
Pressure Zone Management
- Designed and implemented a multi-pressure zone system to address the challenges of water distribution across 14 floors, ensuring optimal flow rates and pressure levels for all units.
- Installed state-of-the-art booster pumps to maintain consistent water pressure in higher floors without overburdening the system.
Comprehensive Drainage Network
- Developed an integrated internal and external drainage system, including soil, waste, and rainwater pipes, ensuring efficient water removal and preventing blockages.
- Established robust inspection chambers and manholes for easy maintenance and troubleshooting.
Municipal Linkage
- Successfully connected the drainage system to the Ajman municipal mains, ensuring compliance with local regulations and facilitating smooth wastewater disposal.
Quality Assurance
- Conducted rigorous testing and inspections at every stage of the project to ensure zero rework during final verification by authorities.
- Implemented leak detection protocols to identify and rectify potential issues before they impacted the system’s performance.
Challenge 1: Hydraulic Design for 14-Floor Pressure Loss
Managing water pressure across 14 floors posed significant hydraulic design challenges, as excessive pressure loss could lead to inconsistent water flow and user dissatisfaction.
Solution:
Our team conducted detailed hydraulic calculations and simulations to design a multi-pressure zone system that effectively mitigated pressure loss. By strategically placing pressure-reducing valves and booster pumps, we ensured uniform water distribution throughout the towers.
Challenge 2: Zero Rework During Inspections
Achieving zero rework during inspections required meticulous planning, precise execution, and stringent quality control measures.
Solution:
We implemented a proactive quality assurance program, conducting regular on-site inspections and mock audits to identify and address potential issues early. This approach ensured that all systems were fully compliant with regulatory standards before official inspections, resulting in zero rework and saving both time and costs.
Challenge 3: Coordination with Other Trades
The complexity of integrating plumbing and drainage systems with other MEP services required close collaboration to avoid clashes and rework.
Solution:
Using Building Information Modeling (BIM), we created detailed 3D models to visualize and coordinate the placement of pipes, ducts, and conduits. This clash-free design approach minimized conflicts during construction and facilitated seamless integration with other trades.
