LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
1.0 INTRODUCTION
In order to achieve a sustainable development, environmentally sound waste management

is an essential factor. Due to the large scale growth in real estate sector, emphasis on high
rise developments has increased and waste management is very complicated. Also, with the
ever increasing costs of managing waste and long term highly negative impacts on the
environment, waste management has become a key factor in the planning of all new
developments. Therefore the need to bring about drastic reductions in waste generation is
required and more importantly the need to implement the principles of avoidance, reuse,
recycle and ultimately if required dispose.
Historically, highly mixed wastes were collected without any segregation or recovery of
recyclables, thereby not only increasing the cost of collection and processing of these
wastes, but also losing valuable recyclables from the waste stream.
Waste management in high rise developments, is fundamentally different from low rise or
standalone houses and provision of recycling facilities differs majorly from the other types of
developments. Therefore to achieve a good recycling rate in the new high and medium rise
developments, measures must be adopted which will enable the residents to segregate their
waste at source itself.

 SV – Sectoring Valve
3.0 SOURCE SEGREGATION
Segregation of recyclable waste at source is not seriously practiced by households and

establishments, who throw unsegregated waste directly into the municipal bins. At least 15%
of the total waste can conveniently be segregated at source for recycling, which is being lost
due to the absence of segregation of waste at source.
It is essential to save the recyclable waste material from going to the waste processing and
disposal sites and using up landfill space. Profitable use of such materials could be
generated by salvaging recyclables at source. This will save national resources whilst also
saving the cost and efforts to dispose of such waste.
It is a must that all sub-development to ensure the waste is segregated at source and have
infrastructure arrangement for the same in the developments.
Minimum 2 waste fractions must be implemented; i.e. Dry Recyclable Waste and Mixed
General Waste.
Basic Color Code System for Waste Segregation
Type of Waste Color Codes

Dry Recyclable Waste Green
Mix General Waste Black
Sub-developments are encouraged to undertake additional recyclable waste streams

segregation to improve the efficiency of the recycling programs. To do this additional space
is required in the storage point to house the required number of bins.
Sub-developments are encouraged to discuss your recyclable waste segregation options
with Marafeq Qatar to ensure the feasibility of the same.

LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
The following items are essential for the development of a sustainable waste management
program within all the proposed developments. The key criterion is to plan and implement
source segregation, which in turn will lead to a number of environmental and financial
benefits such as:
1. Cleaner recovery of recyclables and thus increased profits
2. Cleaner organic fractions, thereby producing better quality of compost
3. Reduction in costs of waste management
4. Greater awareness and reduction in waste generation rates
5. Compliance with National Development Strategy of Qatar
5|Page
LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
4.0 Waste Management Plan
All the sub-developments are required to develop a Sustainable Waste Management Plan.
Sustainable Waste Management Plan must include the following details but shall not be
limited to:
a) Land use type;

b) Estimated Waste Streams and its amounts (in kgs);
c) Bin quantity, size and color;
d) On-Site Waste and Recycling equipment;
e) Waste Collection frequency;
f) Location and space allocated for Waste and Recycling bin;
g) Waste Collection point for Waste Trucks;
h) Scaled Waste Management Facilities Drawings;
i) Education & Signage.
j) Reporting System.
5.0 TYPES OF WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Since Lusail City is being constructed based on very high International standards, wherein
sustainability is emphasized and implemented, the waste collection is also designed to
support such initiatives. The table below illustrates the different districts and the subsequent
waste collection system to be implemented:

LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
There are basically two systems being designed for the purpose of waste collection, namely
the Pneumatic Waste Collection (PWC) system and the traditional or conventional system.
However, the developments being serviced by the PWC system will still require certain
categories of waste to be collected periodically through the traditional system and this is
addressed in the guidelines later in the report.
It is important to note that the PWC system may not be operational before 2017. The
Customer shall be responsible to provide temporary measure to handle the Municipal Solid
Waste (MSW) conventionally until the PWC system is available.
6.0 PNEUMATIC WASTE COLLECTION (PWC) SYSTEM
This new generation system addresses the problems of handling Municipal Solid Waste in
any type of building in the following manner. Refer to Appendix A for illustration of
components mentioned below.
1. Strategically located Waste Loading Hoppers (A) with 3D volume control to BS 1703;
2005 is provided on each floor.
2. These Waste Loading Hoppers are connected by a stainless steel pipe that terminates at
the base of the shaft where a Discharge Valve (B) temporarily holds the waste for a
short period above it in a Temporary Storage Chamber (C).
The picture shows a Discharge

Valve (In Blue) with a Temporary
Storage Chamber above it.
7|Page
LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
3. A network of Transport Pipes (F) from a PWC Plant Room (M) connects to Air Inlet
Valves (D) that controls the flow of air in the pipe transport system.
4. At periodic intervals, the automated PWC system is started and it opens the respective
Primary Air Inlet (through Air Intake Valve) to create a flow of air below a respective
Discharge Valve which opens in sequence to vacuum the waste from the Temporary
Storage Chamber through the transport pipes to the PWC Plant Room. Operating
vacuum pressure of PWC system shall be around 350 mbar.
TYPICAL PNEUMATIC WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM
5. The air that is used to transport the waste is cleaned of all debris by a Filtration System
(G) and the odour is removed a by De-odorising System (H) before the air is
discharged to the atmosphere.
6. In the PWC Plant Room the waste is separated by a Waste-Air Separator (J) which
unloads the waste into a stationary Waste Compactor (K) that pushes the waste
material into transportable Waste Container (L).
7. The containers are transported by the Municipality or the Appointed Waste Collector in
standard flatbed hook lift trucks to the closest landfill or incinerator for disposal.
8|Page
LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
8. The frequency of transporting the waste from the Discharge Valves to the PWC Plant
Room called the Transport Cycle is dependent on the volume of waste collected from
each chute during the day.
9. The consolidation of waste from several buildings often means that the waste is never
left for more than a few hours before it is on the way to a landfill or incinerator.
10. The larger material (bulky waste) that is unable to enter the Waste Loading Hoppers with
volume control are handled manually – as this is traditionally recycled (old furniture,
carton boxes, etc) it helps minimize landfill and incineration and aids in achieving
environmental objectives.
11. A guideline for developments in terms of allocating space for bulk storage is available in
BS5906:1980 which states:
a) Where communal waste storage accommodation or chutes and container chambers

are installed, a separate enclosed accommodation at ground level in an accessible
position should be provided for the storage of large and bulky articles or salvageable
materials or both, so that the local authority can make special collection
2 3
arrangements. A minimum space of 10m is recommended or 0.3m per person with
minimum headroom of not less than 2.3m.
b) Space that is otherwise utilized for larger Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) truck
circulation and storage of the MSW on site is also freed for development. However,
provisions for smaller truck access to remove bulky waste periodically are still
required.

7.0 GENERAL SPECIFICATION OF PNEUMATIC WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM
This section specifies the design, supply and installation of the Pneumatic Waste Collection
(PWC) System. It briefly defines the function and specifications of the system to be delivered
for a fully automatic means of collection and removal of municipal solid waste from each
individual chute to the PWC Plant Room.
7.1 Types of Waste Generated

The following are various types of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generated in any of
buildings.
1. Mixed solid waste – practically all types of household kitchen waste, cafeteria and other
F&B waste like bones, rice, cut vegetables, food scraps, disposable nappies, food
wrapping, etc generated in either a residential or commercial building.
2. Mixed recyclables – small metal cans, plastic bottles, papers etc generated in a
residential or commercial building.
Both items 1 and 2 whether in a residential or commercial situation can be handled by the
PWC system. Bulky waste is generally handled manually as they are too big to be handled
safely by the PWC system – and are usually blocked out by the volumetric hoppers.
Handling of bulky waste will be detailed in the traditional waste management section.
Note that the following types of waste are NOT permitted to be thrown into the chute and
also cannot be handled by the PWC system:-
a) Carton boxes folded or otherwise that are larger than 300mm in any direction
b) Glass in excess of 1% of the total waste mass handled from the building
c) Adhesives and flammable items
d) Construction debris or any other items that is heavy and dense like bricks, concrete
lumps, motors, etc.
e) Liquids (soups, gravies, water) that exceeds 10% of by weight of waste bag
f) Biological, medical, hazardous and industrial waste
10 | P a g e
LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
g) Dead animal carcasses.
h) Faeces
The waste size, bagged or otherwise, shall be less than 300mm measured in any direction,
in this respect, 3D volume-controlled hoppers door shall be provided by the customer for
each waste chute inlet to restrict and prevent the entry of long or bulky waste into the waste
chutes.
Notices and guidelines with picture on the above named limitations should be posted on all
waste chute inlets to educate users. Training on these notices shall be conducted regularly
to all facility management (FM) teams and tenants.
The FM team should develop a strategy to monitor and manage the requirement for
segregation at source waste disposal by households.
It should also outline the corrective actions to be applied should tenants fail to follow system
guides.
The Temporary Storage Chamber is designed to store 300 liters of waste before the level
switch is triggered for the waste to be sucked into the transport pipes. The number of
transport cycles per day for each chute is approximately 12 cycles. The system can also
unload based on pre-set timer if the level switch is not activated. The maximum load per
chute is therefore 3,600litres/day. Larger waste volumes require an additional chute(s) and
discharge valve(s).
It is important to note that the PWC system in Lusail development can handle 2 fractions of
solid waste from the Customer. One fraction shall be mixed solid waste and the other
fraction shall be recyclable waste. The typical details of PWC equipment room layout and
section requirement are shown in Appendix D and E.
Appendix D1 is the detail for individual waste chute for the 2 waste fractions and the chute
connected to the PWC system.
Appendix D2 is the detail for individual waste chute for the 2 waste fractions and the chute
fit into the conventional waste bins.
Appendix E1 is the detail for a single common chute with a waste diverter or sorter below
the chute. This detail also indicates the waste diverter connected to the PWC system.
11 | P a g e
LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
Appendix E2 is the detail for a single common chute with a waste diverter or sorter below
the chute. This detail also indicates the waste diverter connected to the convention waste
bins.
Note that the waste diverter or sorter in Appendix E1 and E2 is typically supplied by the
waste chute supplier as part of Customer’s works. Both the hopper door in Appendix E1
and E2 requires a selector switch on the door exterior to facilitate the diversion of waste
from the chute to the respective fraction compartment below.
It is recommended that individual chute (shown in Appendix D1 and D2 as Option 1) to be

provided to handle dual fraction waste by the Customer. However this will require more
floor space in the typical floor. Caution should be taken in using waste diverter to divert
waste (detailed in Appendix E1 and E2 as Option 2) from a single waste chute as any
failure of waste diverter (due to poor maintenance) may cause waste blockage falling from
the waste chute within the Customer’s building. The developer should have a consistent
service and maintenance in place for waste diverter if Option 2 is selected due to floor
space saving.
It is important to note that the garbage room details shown in Appendix D and E illustrate
both options of waste chute connecting to PWC system and conventional waste bins. In the
event that the PWC system is not operational before the Customer building completion
date, the Customer can install the pipe network up to the garbage room but with the PWC
equipments to be installed at later stage.
7.2 System Provision

The PWC system within the Customer’s building shall comprise of the following equipment
materials and accessories as part of Customer’s scope of work:
a) Dia. 500mm vertical waste chutes (including waste diverter or sorter, if any) shall be
normally provided by chute supplier at the location indicated in the Architectural plan for
the disposal of waste from the upper floors. Each chute shall start from the floor above
the discharge valve to the upper most floors and shall be provided with volume control
hopper (waste inlet) at each floor. The chutes shall be compliant with the requirements of
the Authorities such as but not limited to the Civil Defense, Health and Safety, the
Municipality and such like. It is recommended to install top-of-chute exhaust fan to create
a negative pressure in the chute eliminating odors escaping from the chute into the
waste disposal rooms.
12 | P a g e
LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
b) Chute cleaning and fire sprinkler shall be provided as per local Authorities requirement.
Activation signals from these provisions should be connected to the PWC system
Remote Control Box to terminate the waste transport cycle of the respective chute.
During waste unloading cycle, a signal from the PWC system should also be linked to
the chute control panel to lock all waste inlet doors.
c) A general fire alarm from the sub-developer shall appear as an alarm in the plant room
main panel and this will block any unloading cycle.
d) Off-set sections where applicable shall not exceed an angle of 30° from the pipe line.
The offset piece shall be connected by flange joints for practical replacement.
e) The temporary storage section complete with waste level switch will temporarily store the
waste before it is sucked into the transport pipes during the transport cycle. There will be
an access opening in the lower part of the temporary storage chamber for service and
maintenance purposes. The waste level switch when activated will override the regular
periodic timing of the transport cycle.
f) Air Intake Valve to allow fresh air intake during the transport cycle provide the air to push
the waste during the transport cycle. The fresh air flow rate of 17,000 cubic meters per
hour (CMH) during the transport mode requires the provision of air intake grilles to any
room in which Air Inlet Valve is located. Note that this air flow into the room will only
happen when the waste is under transport mode of about 2 minutes per cycle.
g) Discharge valves below the Temporary Storage Chamber open periodically to allow
stored waste to enter the transport pipes. The Discharge Valves are constructed to
withstand the impact of waste falling from high levels.
h) Inspection piece or access cover shall be provided below the Discharge Valves for
service and maintenance purposes. Adequate clear height of min 400mm above the pipe
must be provided to access and inspect the internal of pipe. This access cover shall also
be provided at each Y-tee branch off and 90 degree bends. Access cover can only be
installed on top of the pipe as side way installation will cause blockage of waste on the
access cover.

pipe. The box shall be closed with top cover plate with bolt, nut and gasket and shall be
air tight.
i) The waste transport pipe size shall be Carbon Steel with 500mm nominal diameter and
minimum 6mm thick. As abrasion by waste flow will be more at bends, the thickness
shall be at least 9mm thick. The pipe networks are generally welded so adequate space
around the pipe should be considered for welding and weld inspection. Pipe shall be
coated externally with 3LPE if installed underground.
Long radius bends (minimum 1800mm radius) shall be provided to ensure the smooth
flow of waste through the pipe network, except at the base of the discharge valve where
a 750mm radius bend is used. A minimum distance of 5 meter straight pipe shall be
provided if another next bend is required.
The maximum tee-off branch angle in any direction shall not exceed 30 degrees from the
pipe line and the maximum allowable inclination upward or downward for the PWC
SYSTEM pipeline shall be 15 degrees and 30 degrees respectively.
Inspection openings will be provided in the waste transport pipe network to allow for
future maintenance. RC chamber with access manhole cover shall be constructed for
each underground inspection opening. Typical details of pipe turning and tee-off are
shown in Appendix B.
j) A control system comprising a Central Control and Monitoring System, located in the
PWC Plant Room, communicates with Remote Control Boxes (RCB) located in
Discharge Valve rooms. The control system is computerized and is a programmable
logic controller (PLC) based system. Please refer Appendix G for typical

air flow rate of 15lit/hr or as per PWC equipment manufacture’s requirement. Please
refer Appendix F for typical installation detail.
14 | P a g e
LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
n) Each Customer plot shall be provided with only one PWC connection adjacent to the
plot boundary, approximately 1 meter inside the plot boundary line. The pipe depth shall
be approximately 2.5 meters. As-built or design level and coordinates of the pipe tie-in
point shall be obtained from Lusail. Customer shall design the PWC network based on
the as-built or design information of the PWC tie-in pint. Any piling works for basement
adjacent to the infrastructure PWC tie-in point should be protected by the Customer to
ensure the existing infrastructure PWC pipe is not damaged.

8.0 TRADITIONAL WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM
This system involves the collection of wastes from the various types of bins and containers,
depending on the development and transported through different types of waste trucks. The
guidelines for this type of waste collection system are given below and have been drafted
taking into consideration the waste management strategy of Lusail to divert as much waste
as possible from the landfills.
There are some developments which will be temporarily serviced through the traditional
system till such time that the PWC system becomes operational. Care has been taken to
ensure that there is a smooth transition from the temporary system to the pneumatic system
without much change in design.
The various guidelines mentioned below addresses the different types of developments and
subsequent requirements for waste collection. All the drawings provided with this report are
typical in nature and shall be used as the minimum required, it is left to the Customer to
ensure that any changes to the design guidelines shall not divert from these minimum
requirements and also the Customer shall ensure that future capacity and unforeseen
events should be taken into consideration while constructing the garbage rooms and other
associated utilities.
Based on the various benefits of source segregation and keeping in mind types of
developments, the following are recommended:
A. High Rise Developments
Option - 1: Individual chutes for at least 2 fractions of waste such as mixed solid and mix
recyclables.
The most basic system available for source segregation in multi-level projects is to use
multiple chutes. A minimum of two sorts, mixed solid waste and mixed recyclables is
mandatory. Further chutes could be added if the source segregation is into three
fractions or more. (Typical drawings are attached - Appendix D1)
Option- 2: Single chute with sorter/diverter (Typical drawings attached, Appendix E2)
19 | P a g e
LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
 The Sorter/diverter shall use a single waste recycling chute (hereinafter “chute”) in a
multi-level building to distribute materials pre-separated by tenants into a minimum of
two separate containers, as determined by the building management. For example, one
container will be designated for garbage; a second for mixed recyclables
 A tenant-activated, membrane keypad switch on a control panel incorporated above

each chute intake door shall initiate appropriate container selection. As the correct
container is accessed by the chute, the chute intake door is signaled available to the
tenant who then disposes of the material. Remaining chute intake doors on other floors
shall be disabled during the foregoing operation.
 This is a recommended system and all associated installations will be suggested by the
various manufacturers.
 The multiple-sort disposal system must be designed in such a way that permits for the
increase or decrease of waste streams, if so required in the future. For larger items that
do not fit in the multiple-sort disposal system provided on each floor, the Customer shall
provide an internal storage room solely dedicated to this purpose to temporarily store
white goods, bulky items and other waste materials that may be generated by occupants
of the development. The internal storage room shall be clean, well-marked and
conveniently accessible to residents of the development and to local municipal
requirements and shall be designed and supervised by the building consultant. No waste
materials shall be stored outside between collection days.
Garbage Room/Collection Areas– Standard specifications
 Garbage rooms shall be located in such a way to facilitate removing (by human or
vehicles) the containers and transporting them to garbage collection vehicles
 Unrestricted space shall be provided and provisions must be made for easy
maneuvering of wheeled waste containers.
 Keeping waste storage areas clear of potential obstacles that would make it difficult to
modify existing bin sizes
 The minimum height of the garbage room door shall not be less than 2.1 meters with
minimum width of 1.8 meter (and to suit size of container) with doors opening upwards
and swinging out
20 | P a g e
LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
 Garbage rooms shall be provided with adequate lighting and ventilation or air
conditioning for summer.
 Floors and walls shall be of ceramic tiles to facilitate easy cleaning and the floor shall be
sloped to a floor drain within the room connected to the house drain. The drain shall be
provided with a protective screen to retain solid material. Floor drain traps shall be

the consultant to municipal requirement.
 The minimum internal corridor width of the garbage room shall be 1.2 meter
 The room shall not have a floor to ceiling height of less than 2.6 meters
 There should be a space of 0.6 meters between the dumpster and door location
 Fire protection system (passive or active) to civil defense requirement.
 The garbage room should be able to accommodate all types of garbage containers
 The specifications for the various bins/containers recommended to be used for different
developments are provided in this report.
 For a sorter chute system, the minimum area of the garbage room shall be 8m2
 The above items are just a recommended guide and the building consultant shall be
responsible to provide the design of garbage room to suit all local authorities’
requirement and applicable international standards.
 The typical recommended garbage room sizes are shown in Appendix D2 and E2.
Chutes
 The material used for garbage chutes shall resist corrosion, prevent dampness, non-
combustible and smooth inner surface
 Chute inner 500mm diameter (but not more than 600mm) and shall be dictated by the
number of floors per development.
 Chute should be manufactured to comply with BS1703
 All chutes shall be provided with automatic foul air exhaust fan
 Firefighting sprinklers should be provided on all floors for protection in case of fire which
shall operate automatically with spray heads at every floor.
21 | P a g e
LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
 The ground garbage floor room should be provided with an automatic fire cut off door at
the bottom of the chute. The fire door shall be operated by fusible link, which shall break
in the event of a fire breaking out in the garbage room
 A sanitizing and disinfection unit shall be provided with each type of chute.
 The chutes should be designed such that they discharge the waste centrally over the
waste container or discharge valves.
 3D Volume control shall be implemented at each hopper level in order to prevent the
residents from dumping unacceptable material such as carpets, corrugated cardboard,
etc. in the chutes.
 Selection of type and make of waste chute and waste diverter shall be the sole
responsible of the sub-developer.
B. Mixed Use Developments
All the above mentioned chute and garbage room specifications under ‘High Rise
Developments’ are valid in addition to providing separate collection areas for bulky material.
The concept of waste compaction shall be implemented and sufficient storage space for
commercial material such as cardboard shall be provided. Compaction significantly reduces
the volume of waste generated and thereby reducing the waste transportation costs.
Therefore it is highly recommended that the garbage room has sufficient space to
accommodate a compactor skip/container, the choice of compactor is left to the prerogative
of the sub developer.
The standard specifications of the above mentioned skip is provided in the report
Note: For the Eurobin compactor (660 & 1100 liters) a minimum space of 1m is required at
one side of the compactor for servicing requirements and a nominal 150 mm clearance is
required at the other side.
C. Low Rise Developments
All developments with 3 floors (Ground + 2 floors) and above shall have a chute system
installed. The recommended chute system is a single chute with a sorter/diverter or 2
individual chutes for wet and dry waste. The garbage room specifications will be similar to
the ones mentioned above for high rise developments.
22 | P a g e
LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
D. Standalone villas and townhouses
For all stand-alone villas and townhouses, the collection of wastes will be done through the
curb side collection and therefore there is no recommended garbage room. Each
villa/townhouse will be provided with respective bins and these bins will be collected
depending on the collection schedule.
Notes:
1. For multi-unit residential developments, it is recommended that a minimum of 10 m2
of additional internal storage space be provided for the temporary storage of
uncompacted garbage such as bulky items and large appliances.
2. The Customer must comply with all existing and future government regulations
pertaining to waste reduction and waste audit programs and requirements in
commercial, institutional, and multi-unit residential establishments.
3. For those developments with no segregation chutes, provision shall be made for
interim storage of recyclables in an interim storage area (that also houses the
garbage chute inlet hopper) on each floor. A caretaker takes recyclables from the
interim storage area to a communal storage area, where recyclables may be stored
in either MGBs or bulk bins.
4. All material used in the manufacture of the garbage chutes shall comply with BS
1703 and local and regional standards.
5. Provision of fire retardants and other fire control systems shall comply with the Qatari
Civil Defense standards and other regional and international guidelines and
standards.
6. The various systems provided as examples only and are not intended to constrain
good, workable alternatives

LUSAIL DEVELOPMENT
9.0 Best Practice in Waste Management for Sub- Development
Waste Management requirements for sub-development in Lusail City outlined in this

document, the following section discusses ‘best practice’ must be considered by all sub-
developments.
I. Waste Baler
a) Waste Baler Units can be used for segregated cardboard waste, plastic bottle,
and aluminum cans/tins.
b) The benefit of baler unit is that it optimize waste storage facility/area, minimizes
the servicing frequency and better Housekeeping.
II. Refrigerated Rooms
a) Refrigerated rooms minimize odors, vectors and vermin at the storage point.
b) Options for refrigeration rooms include:
i. Air conditioning the sealed storage point.
ii. Refrigeration should be considered where general waste collection frequency

is less than twice per week and/or a high level of organic waste will be
generated (restaurants, taverns or supermarkets etc).
III. Education and signage
On-going education and signage is important to ensure people continue to use the
facilities as originally intended.
Marafeq Qatar recommends signage at all disposal/storage points to promote the

importance of recycling and the appropriate waste types for each facility or bin.
Education or signage could include:

a) Labelling all bins or waste disposal points;
b) Instructions advising of the correct separation of general, recycling and other
waste streams;
c) Identification of potential hazards/dangers associated with using waste
equipment;
d) Signage with contact details for information on waste management in the
development.
