Smart Village Infrastructure

Spread over 3 million m², Smart Village Cairo is Egypt’s first, fully operational information technology cluster and business park. The prime development accommodates multinational and local companies; governmental and financial organizations; educational institutions; and research and development centers. All facilities share sophisticated, state-of-the-art infrastructure; up-to-date facility management; and a full range of business and recreation services.

The project infrastructure networks covered the following components:

1. Road Network: four road categories namely Main, access, secondary and local roads are shown as:

• The main roads include the ring road and the roads approaching the project area.
• The secondary and local roads transfer the traffic between the main roads and the different activities.
• The access road is used as an entrance.

The average speed on different road segments is assumed to range between 25 to 45 km/h depending on road class.

2. Portable water network: main source of supply is Sheikh Zayed Water Treatment plant network, feeding project area through transmission 300/ 400 mm diameter with length 15 km feeding local storage tanks capacity 36600 m3 facilitated with pump-stations which is feeding the different project buildings through potable water loop network.
3. Firefighting Network: main source of supply is the potable water storage tank facilitated with separate fire pumping station which is protecting the different project building internally and externally throughfirefighting loop network.
4. Sewage network: Gravity collection system collecting the different peak generated sewage flow from the different building and discharging the final effluent into Abu-Rawash Wastewater Treatment Plant through lift station facilitated with force main pipe line.
5. Irrigation Network: main source of supply is Sheikh Zayed Water Treatment plant network, feeding project area with brackish water through transmission 300 200 / mm diameter with length 15 km, in addition to second source Barakat well feeding project area with brackish water through transmission 400 mm diameter with length 9 km feeding local main lagoon, facilitated with pump-stations which is irrigating the different landscape area through irrigation loop network and turf irrigation networks.
6. Storm Drainage, collected surface water from different catchments areas including paved roads and parking areas will be collected by gravity through grate inlet Catch Basins and drained into a soak away draining system of the Circular Dry Wall Lined type. Infiltration will be considered through the side walls and open base of the soak away.
