Durrat al Bahrain, Bahrain

Situation:

This residential and recreation region consists of 11 artificial islands with a total area of approx. 20 km2, situated on the south coast of the island Kingdom of Bahrain. It comprises six atolls and five fish-shaped islands which are connected to each other and to the mainland by bridges. The bridge connections, high groundwater levels and flat topography placed high demands on the sewage system.

Solution:

  • Roediger® Vacuum Sewer Systems enabled the construction of a time and cost-efficient design for the approx. 1,600 villas. The collected wastewater is pumped to a wastewater treatment plant on the mainland.

Special features

  • As 3 - 4 islands are connected to a vacuum station in each case, the approx. 3 m raised connection bridges between the islands had to be traversed. This could be achieved with PE pipes which were installed in the service canals of the bridges in accordance with Roediger® installation specifications.
