At ECG, we understand that master planning guides growth and development, and as such is paramount to the future success of all projects. This is why we really give it our all.
Our master planning approach covers urban planning, land-use planning, transportation facilities, open spaces, and public services, as well as environment and heritage conservation precincts; and if this is not enough, we conduct a broad range of other studies pertaining to air, soil, water, health, and safety.
These studies include Economic Impact Analyses, Energy Efficiency Potential Studies, Environmental Impact Assessments, Feasibility Studies, Geotechnical & Ground Engineering Studies, GIS Studies, Hazard & Operability Studies (HAZOP), Hydrologic & Hydraulic Studies, Land Valuations, Marketing Researches, Population Studies, Real Estate & Asset Appraisals, Social Impact Assessments, Solid Waste Management Studies, Traffic Impact Assessments, Urban Development Studies, and water, air, and soil characterizations.
This meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive approach has paid off. Today, we are the trusted name in the field of engineering consultancy both nationally and globally. In addition, we take great pride in that.
Sludge Land Fill/ Composting Facilities at Site 9N
The project is a part of Alexandria Wastewater Program (Phase I) which was completed in 1995. Over an area of 75 hectares, the project’s site (9N) is located at 35 km west of Alexandria. The project site receives sludge cake from the Mechanical Dewatering Facility (MDF); and receives grit, scum, and screening from the East Treatment Plant (ETP) and the West Treatment Plant (WTP).
Grit, sand and screening material generated from ETP and WTP are transported to site 9N by dump trucks.
According to 2009/2008 statistics, the total quantities transported to site 9N are 8,312 m3 / year of sludge; 7,973 m3 / year of sand; 1,749 m3 / year of screening material; and 5 3,338.8 m3 / year of industrial solid waste.
Site 9N has been initially developed as a dedicated disposal area for the sludge and land spreading area for dewatered sludge. The sludge is now being composted using tuned withdraw techniques.
The site includes six lined trenches (200 m long each) for receiving scum & screening material where the material is placed in layers; every layer is covered with clean sand.
The site also includes lined evaporation pond to receive the leached water from the trenches in addition to service facilities comprising maintenance buildings, stores, garage, administration building and laboratory.
The site is served with a lot of heavy equipment such as spreading vehicles, 300 HP trenchers, loaders, composters, dozers and water wagon.
