PROJECT INFORMATION
The project is located in the northern part of Riyadh at the intersection of Imam Saud Street and Takhasusi Street. The project consists of 13 buildings with a total built up area of 431,304 m2 divided into several building types of commercial and retail. The MEP design was done by Zuhair Fayez Partnership Consultants and the MEP contract was awarded to Drake & Scull International DSI. As a part of their contractual agreement, DSI is required to verify the MEP design for: 1- Validity 2- Constructability 3- Functionality DSI has signed a contract with Jain Engineering Consultants International to verify the MEP design and issue their results in stages to coincide with construction activities. Since the main contractor is near casting the lowest basement slab, it is important for DSI to verify design of services below that slab (Drainage, sump pits, groundingetc) and produce related shop drawings first.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Introduction

The purpose of this report is to provide information regarding the design validation of the MEP systems for the Information Technology and Communications Complex (ITCC)- 18 Parcels Project in Riyadh, KSA. The design review was conducted to highlight any potential impact caused by the design on the construction activities of the project. The point of view expressed in this report is that of the author which is based on International Practices and Standards. It is no meant to be condemnatory or judgmental of the current design. The intention of this report is to highlight issues related to the progress of engineering works such as production of shop drawings and materials ordering. The design review was conducted on sample areas of the project for each discipline of the MEP systems as per the scope of work. This spot check is an indication of the general condition of the design and must not be taken as a complete list of design issues that might impact construction activities. The design reviewer reserves the right to highlight more issue should they arise in the future. The information presented in this report is based on the Issued for Construction (IFC) drawings, specifications and relevant calculations issued for the project. It must be noted that the review was done without altering any design parameters used by the original designer. The following is a summary of the design review for the underground MEP systems for all buildings. Supporting documents and more information may be found in subsequent sections (Underground services for this report means: All services

running below the lowest slab in a building and do not include analysis of underground services running outside the building):
B. Methodology
A comprehensive review of IFC documents (MEP drawings, specifications and calculations) was carried out using the best up-to-date quality assurance procedures to identify best practice that should be used and current problems in the design that should be avoided. The verification also considers the requirements for installation, commissioning, operation and control and subsequent maintenance of systems selected at the design stage. The design verification process provides information on required design inputs, outputs and practical key design watch-points for MEP building services topics which will lead to improvements in the subsequent implementation of the design, and reduce the risk of problems occurring during installation, commissioning or system operation. This was expressed as a summary tables as shown in further pages. These tables are then followed by detailed analysis for the drawings or specifications. The analysis will include minor and major comments, inconsistency and contradiction between drawings and/or drawings against specifications, lack of coordination with other trades and ended by recommendations.
C. Summary of Findings
Tables (M.1-M.13 & E.1-E.13) provide a summary of the following: 1. Availability of design documents: The review included checking for completeness of design documents such as drawings, specifications, calculations, detailsetc 2. Consistency between design documents within the same discipline: The review included examination of level of consistency between design documents prior to checking against sample outputs 3. Coordination between design documents of an MEP discipline and other disciplines: The review included examination of coordination level between various disciplines such as between drainage and structural or grounding and structural 4. Compliance of design with International Standards and project requirements listed in the specifications: The review included examination of compliance level of the design with projects standards The following observations were noted for the systems reviewed namely Underground Services: 1. Some data are available for some buildings but not others, such as details drawings; we have assumed such data are typical to all buildings. 2. Some buildings designs were compliant with specifications requirements but others were not 3. Some designs that comply with specifications requirements were not compliant with International Standards listed in the same specifications
DVR 251011/109

4. Many of the designs did not comply with sample calculations outputs. The following is a summary of review result for Mechanical and Electrical disciplines: 1. Mechanical: a. HVAC (Not included in this report) b. Water (Only for underground services) The design does not contain any water tanks or pipes that shall impact underground services c. Waste and Soil Drainage (Only for underground services) The following is a summary of findings in regards to above system. More details, calculations and references may be found in subsequent sections: i. ii. iii. iv. In general, it appears that gravity pipe sizes are adequate and in some cases oversized which is acceptable In many cases, the forced flow discharge pipes are undersized (Up to 1000 Pa/m) There are many discrepancies in regards to sump pit sizes and depths between MEP floor plans, calculations and structural plans and sections Many sump pit sizes were underestimated. Detailed calculations were done and sizes on design drawings were found to be less than required either due to deep pipe falls, pump physical size or flow Sump pump calculations in many buildings were based on incorrect parameters. Such parameters include incorrect fixture units, rainfall intensities, areasetc Slopes of many pipes are not as per standards (UPC or IPC) In many cases where pipes are running in a raft slab, the long pipe run final elevation is close to raft bottom. This is an issue that a structural engineer must review and provide an opinion. Also, this shall impact pit depths Pipe connection between elevator drain to sump pit is not considering the low level of elevator drain connection. Also, flow from fire fighters elevator drain is not considered in pump sizing There are no sand traps at the entry of sump pits There are no information (size, capacity, calculationsetc) provided for grease trap in WH06. Location of grease trap is close to populated areas which is going to cause bad odors to transfer to restaurant and other areas. Also, the grease trap is not shown on structural drawings There is no service connection to grey water tank in WH06 shown on plans or riser diagrams. All drainage from above floors is directly connected to waste water network outside the building without any recycling. Note that the design includes a set of calculations for this tank.

In other buildings waste pipes are not connected to either external network or grey water tanks There are many discrepancies in regards to grey water tank size between calculations, plans and structural drawings (In KB01, calculated size was 102 m3 and on MEP plans is shown as 216 m3) All grey water tanks are oversized. In general, this is acceptable for other types of tanks. However, in a grey water system it is dangerous to store untreated water more than 72 hours (IPC). It was found that tanks were sized to store grey water for an average of 6-7 days Most of grey water tanks are not provided with vent, make up water, over flow or drain connections In IT01, the plumbing drawings indicate grey water tank below ground. However, the same tank is shown on structural drawings above ground
d. Storm Water Drainage (Only for underground services) The following is a summary of findings in regards to above system. More details, calculations and references may be found in subsequent sections: i. Rainfall intensity values and area calculations were found to be incorrect and inconsistent between buildings
e. Fire Fighting (Not included in this report) 2. Electrical: a. Grounding & Lightning Protection (For the complete system in all buildings) The following is a summary of findings in regards to above system. More details, calculations and references may be found in subsequent sections: i. ii. iii. Calculations for grounding and lightning systems were not provided with IFC documents In general, lightning system designed overall resistance is within standard required values Grounding conductor for main electrical equipment is over sized (Which is acceptable) in some buildings while in many other buildings it is undersized Telecommunication clean grounding is not provided in many buildings. This means that number of grounding pits must be increased Calculated Telecommunication grounding resistance (where provided) exceeds specification requirements. This means that number of grounding pits and/ or rods is underestimated General grounding for RMUs, transformers, generators, LV switchgears is not provided for many buildings Calculated grounding resistance for RMUs, transformers, generators, LV switchgears (where provided) exceeds specification requirements

Available earth pits do not reflect the actual number of pits required for telecommunication, general and lightning grounding system There are inconsistency within system installation details provided on IFC design drawings Grounding rods within raft slabs (With a thickness of 0.7-1.3 meters) are shown to be 3.0 deep (Starting at 0.3 m below FFL). However, the standard calls for 3.0 m of rod length to be extended vertically into earth. Also, main ring electrode is shown on drawings to be installed 0.3 meters below FFL of raft. This means the ring electrode is going to be buried within raft. However, the specifications call for it to be 0.6 m below grade and the NFPA 780 calls for it to be in direct contact with earth at a depth of not less than 0.46 m. There are inconsistency between specifications and drawings in regards to rod sizes, burial depth of ring electrode, embedded conduit sizesetc
b. Normal & Emergency Lighting (Not included in this report) c. Power & Low Voltage Distribution(Not included in this report) d. Fire Alarm & Detection (Not included in this report) e. IT Network (Not included in this report)

RECOMMENDATIONS
It is of the design reviewer opinion that underground services design requires revisions to be made prior to proceeding with production of shop drawings or site installations as follows: A. Mechanical: 1. Water System: No design revisions are required in relation to this system for underground services 2. Waste and Soil Drainage System: In general pipe network design requires minor revisions. However, sump pits, pumps, grey water system and rain water system require major revision. Calculations must be re-done and results must be coordinated with other disciplines such as structural, electrical power, architecturaletc B. Electrical: 1. Lighting and Grounding System: Calculations must be redone based on actual soil resistivity measurements done on site. Also, number of grounding pits, size and depth of rods, number of down conductors and general layout of system must be revised prior to producing shop drawings or start of installation on site

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Further to the design review study and analysis, and as per the above sample calculation for sump pits and gray water tanks for KB01&02 building, the following can be concluded: 1. It is recommended to use the correct design parameters in calculating the pump flow rate and to take condensate drain and elevator pits drain into consideration. 2. The pump head data for submersible pumps is found to be insufficient to reflect the true case and setting of the underground drainage system. It is recommended to use the correct design parameters in calculating the pump head and to take actual equivalent length, pipe friction loss and safety factors into consideration. 3. The pit size is found to be insufficient with respect to the fixtures and drainage points connected to it. It is recommended to take the level of incoming waste pipes and the size of submersible pumps into consideration when sizing the pit. 4. Gray water system is oversized. It is recommended to size the gray water tank for no more than 3 days (72 Hours) divided by two tanks, collection and treated tanks as per IPC. Refer to Appendix A, A.18 5. No waste pipe is connected to gray water tank. It is required to make clear routing of waste risers and pipes to gray water tank. 6. It is required to provide gray water tank with makeup water line with backflow preventer to avoid pump dry run. 7. It is required to provide the gray water tank with overflow, vent with insect screen, access panel and cat ladder for maintenance

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Further to the design review study and analysis, and as per the above sample calculation for sump pits and gray water tanks for KB03 building, we conclude the following: 1. The discharge pipe from submersible pump is having high pressure loss and fluid velocity, it is recommended to resize the pipe according to the allowable pressure loss and velocity parameters. 2. Pit sizing: The level of lowest invert level incoming waste pipe is not taken into consideration when sizing the pit depth. Also, the size of duplex pumps should be given more attention in sizing the pit to verify if the current size fits for two submersible pumps. 3. The pit size is found to be insufficient with respect to the fixtures and drainage points connected to it. It is recommended to take the level of incoming waste pipes and the size of submersible pumps into consideration when sizing the pit. 4. Gray water tank is oversized. It is recommended to size the gray water tank for no more than 3 days (72 Hours), as per IPC. 5. It is required to provide gray water tank with makeup water line with backflow preventer to avoid pump dry run. 6. It is required to provide the gray water tank with overflow, vent with insect screen, and access panel and cat ladder for maintenance

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Further to the design review study and analysis, and as per the above sample calculation for sump pits and gray water tanks for RD04 building, the following can be concluded:
1. Submersible pump data are not shown on plans and riser. 2. There is no reference to any calculations indicating the submersible pump head, the head is also not indicated on plans and risers. 3. The discharge pipe from submersible pump is having high pressure loss and fluid velocity, it is recommended to resize the pipe according to the allowable pressure loss and velocity parameters. 4. Pit sizing: The level of lowest invert level incoming waste pipe is not taken into consideration when sizing the pit depth. Also, the size of duplex pumps should be given more attention in sizing the pit to verify if the current size fits for two submersible pumps. 5. The pit size is found to be insufficient with respect to the fixtures and drainage points connected to it. It is recommended to take the level of incoming waste pipes and the size of submersible pumps into consideration when sizing the pit. 6. Gray water tank is oversized. It is recommended to size the gray water tank for 1 no more than 3 days (72 Hours), as per IPC.
7. It is required to provide the gray water tank with overflow, vent with insect screen, and access panel and cat ladder for maintenance. 8. It is required to coordinate the tank trench location with structural engineering to avoid trench in tank footing. 9. It is required to separate the tank into two partitions, one for gray water collection and the other for treated water.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Further to the design review study and analysis, and as per the above sample calculation for sump pits and gray water tanks for WH05 building, the following can be concluded: 1. The discharge pipe from submersible pump is having high pressure loss and fluid velocity, it is recommended to resize the pipe according to the allowable pressure loss and velocity parameters. 2. Pit sizing: The level of lowest invert level incoming waste pipe is not taken into consideration when sizing the pit depth. Also, the size of duplex pumps should be given more attention in sizing the pit to verify if the current size fits for two submersible pumps. 3. Sump pit is located inside shaft without access, it is required to provide an access for pump setup and maintenance 4. The pit size is found to be insufficient with respect to the fixtures and drainage points connected to it. It is recommended to take the level of incoming waste pipes and the size of submersible pumps into consideration when sizing the pit. 5. It is required to provide gray water tank with makeup water line with backflow preventer to avoid pump dry run. 6. It is required to provide the gray water tank with overflow, vent with insect screen, and access panel and cat ladder for maintenance. 7. It is required to coordinate the tank trench location with structural engineering to avoid trench in tank footing.

IV. RECOMMENDATIONS: Further to the design review study and analysis, and as per the above sample calculation for sump pits and gray water tanks for WH06 building, we conclude the following: 1. Pit sizing: The level of lowest invert level incoming waste pipe is not taken into consideration when sizing the pit depth. Also, the size of duplex pumps should be given more attention in sizing the pit to verify if the current size fits for two submersible pumps. 2. The pit size is found to be insufficient with respect to the fixtures and drainage points connected to it. It is recommended to take the level of incoming waste pipes and the size of submersible pumps into consideration when sizing the pit. 3. No calculations in IFC for grease trap capacity and grease retention time. It is recommended to calculate and select grease trap based on commercial kitchen sinks flow 4. Grease trap is located at corridor and close food preparation areas. This will affect the smell of the area especially during maintenance. Relocate grease trap away from populated areas or within an enclosed room
5. Location of grease trap is not coordinated with building structure. It is recommended to coordinate the location and size of grease trap with structural engineer 6. There is no waste pipe connected to gray water tank, all waste stacks above ground are connected to sewage network and directed outside building. 7. Gray water tank is oversized. It is recommended to size the gray water tank for no more than 3 days (72 Hours), as per IPC. 8. It is required to provide gray water tank with makeup water line with backflow preventer to avoid pump dry run. 9. It is required to provide the gray water tank with overflow, vent with insect screen, and access panel and cat ladder for maintenance.

IV. RECOMMENDATIONS: Further to the design review study and analysis, and as per the above sample calculation for sump pits and gray water tanks for IT 01 building, the following can be concluded:
1. The discharge pipe from submersible pump is having high pressure loss and fluid velocity, it is recommended to resize the pipe according to the allowable pressure loss and velocity parameters. 2. Pit sizing: The level of lowest invert level incoming waste pipe is not taken into consideration when sizing the pit depth. Also, the size of duplex pumps should be given more attention in sizing the pit to verify if the current size fits for two submersible pumps. 3. The pit size is found to be insufficient with respect to the fixtures and drainage points connected to it. It is recommended to take the level of incoming waste pipes and the size of submersible pumps into consideration when sizing the pit. 4. Gray water tank is oversized. It is recommended to size the gray water tank for 1 day water reserve and no more than 3day (72 Hours), as per IPC. 5. It is required to provide gray water tank with makeup water line with backflow preventer to avoid pump dry run. 6. It is required to provide the gray water tank with overflow, vent with insect screen, and access panel and cat ladder for maintenance.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Further to the design review study and analysis, and as per the above sample calculation for sump pits and gray water tanks for IT02 building, the following can be concluded: 1. The discharge pipe from submersible pump is having high pressure loss and fluid velocity, it is recommended to resize the pipe according to the allowable pressure loss and velocity parameters. 2. Pit sizing: The level of lowest invert level incoming waste pipe is not taken into consideration when sizing the pit depth. Also, the size of duplex pumps should be given more attention in sizing the pit to verify if the current size fits for two submersible pumps. 3. The pit size is found to be insufficient with respect to the fixtures and drainage points connected to it. It is recommended to take the level of incoming waste pipes and the size of submersible pumps into consideration when sizing the pit. 4. Gray water tank is oversized. It is recommended to size the gray water tank for no more than 3 days (72 Hours), as per IPC. 5. It is required to provide gray water tank with makeup water line with backflow preventer to avoid pump dry run.
6. It is required to provide the gray water tank with overflow, vent with insect screen, and access panel and cat ladder for maintenance

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Further to the design review study and analysis, and as per the above sample calculation for sump pits and gray water tanks for KB04 building, the following can be concluded: 1. Pit sizing: The level of lowest invert level incoming waste pipe is not taken into consideration when sizing the pit depth. Also, the size of duplex pumps should be given more attention in sizing the pit to verify if the current size fits for two submersible pumps. 2. The pit size is found to be insufficient with respect to the fixtures and drainage points connected to it. It is recommended to take the level of incoming waste pipes and the size of submersible pumps into consideration when sizing the pit.

Recommendations 1. To have bare copper down conductor exothermally welded with the reinforced bars in order to increase the parallel paths for the current and to reduce the overall resistance of the system. To use the 20mm diameter earth rod as per the drawings in order to have a lower rod resistance. To relocate the earth pits to ground floor level for ease of installation, coordination, reduction of system cost and ease of location coordination, in addition to achieve consistency between the buildings (8 buildings out of 13 do have the earth network at ground floor level). The separation distance between the rods in the triangular configuration is considered to be 2000mm as mentioned in DWG. GE005 detail D. However it is recommended to increase the separation distance in order to reduce the resistance.
