Client:  The Municipality of Tripoli

Duration:  2004 –  2006

The Municipality of Tripoli initiated a project to improve the Tripoli sanitary and storm water Systems and update the existing wastewater master plan.  Chemonics Egypt is working with the Engineering Consultancy Office for Utilities in Tripoli to assess the existing condition of wastewater systems.  As part of the preliminary work, Chemonics Egypt conducted the review process of existing Urban Development Plans, and the analysis of discharge of raw wastewater and overflow of storm water into the Mediterranean Sea.  Chemonics Egypt gathered and analyzed data supplied by the Municipality of Tripoli, including maps, status of on-going projects, and designs, and conducting field investigations for network components to identify areas of critical condition and to measure the storm water network flow capacity.

Chemonics Egypt conducted the following tasks:

• CCTV inspection of problem areas in the network and conduct manhole inspections for the entire network.

• Assessment of existing conditions of pump stations and sewage treatment plants, and current outfall points (points of wastewater discharge into the sea) and overflow lines

• Preparation of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) study to assess the impacts of discharging raw wastewater into the sea

• Development of a comprehensive hydraulic model for all system components

• Identification of alternative solutions and selecting the best solution for upgrading collection systems and wastewater treatment plants

• Preparation of long-term plans and the conceptual designs of projects to serve deprived areas

This project provided people living in Tripoli with the good quality and systematic delivery of water, and the improved living environment.
