1. Introduction

1.1 Introduction – Site Location and Context


His Highness Sheikh Hamad Khalifa Al-Thani has determined that a new airport is required to satisfy the
aviation needs of Qatar in the 21st Century. The New Doha International Airport, located to the east of the
existing Doha International Airport, will be world-class, state-of-the-art and efficient. The accompanying
landscape design will extend this unique vision to the external spaces of the new facilities, enhancing the
arrival \ departure sequence for visitors and add to the road experience for the journey to and from the
new airport.
The landscape approach is delivered across seven separate site facilities that range from elaborate and
detailed design for the VVIP terminal and passenger terminal areas, to major road interchanges with
specific planting design to maximise the travel experience, to well designed functional landscapes that
provide quality exterior spaces for the airport operations and village areas.
GHD will build on the concept developed jointly by OBI, HOK and ADPI to ensure that the landscape
materials selected compliment the airport building architecture and take maximum advantage of the site.

2.2 Landscape Objectives


The objectives of the landscape design are:
» Tocreate a unique landscape setting and character for all elements of the airport, promoting a high
standard of amenity, aesthetics and safety.
» To achieve a functional and attractive environment for all users
» To utilise landscape materials which do not require high maintenance
» To create a seamless integration of architectural elements with hard and soft landscape
» To emphasise views of the airport buildings, the lagoon and other site features
» Tocreate a safe and pedestrian friendly environment for people moving from car parks to the terminal
and within other areas of the airport site
General Comment
While the landscape design for the NDIA represents a considerable undertaking in terms of landscape
construction and planting, it does not match the extent of the landscape “vision”as presented on typical
project imaging documents and presentation boards. We would recommend a review of the current
landscape design once documentation is completed. This would enable additional landscape
opportunities to be recognised and bring the overall vision closer to reality.

2.3 Generic Landscape Principles and Standards
» Planting – GHD will select plants from the planting list supplied on the original tender drawings.
Planting layouts will provide relief from the climate; compliment the architecture, topography and
circulation patterns and contribute to an increase in biodiversity
» Materials – A variety of hard landscape materials, i.e. gravels, will be used to compliment the soft
landscaping. Where practical, materials will be manufactured within the gulf region, and selected for
durability to minimise future maintenance.

2.4 90% Design Stage – Issued for Approval (IFA)

Landscape
GHD’ s 90% design stage will build on the previous 60% design stage and the concept developed by the
joint design teams to develop drawings and documents that include the following
Landscape plans will define areas of ground covers, lawn, shrubs, shade trees, palms and stone mulch.
Landscape planting and material installation details will indicate the planting and layout method as well
as installation of landscape elements across the site.

Using the plant list derived from the tender documents as a guide, GHD will provide a plant palate
including scientific and common names, plant characteristics, plant uses, sizes, and colored images of all
plant species. Plants that do not have a proven record in the coastal zone will be noted for possible
substitution with more appropriate plant species after discussion with the client. Plant spacings in some
cases will be adjusted to suit the local conditions.
GHD will provide updated specifications based on the original documents supplied by Bechtel OBI.

2.5 Key Landscape Areas


The NDIA ultimate development planned for 2015 will have the annual capacity to serve 50 million
passengers. Key facilities within the development have specific landscape treatments and include the
following;

2.5.1 EMIRI\VVIP Terminal – Facility B1100


The Emiri complex is provided separately from the passenger terminal due to the different aircraft use
and to eliminate potential disruption of passenger operations. The complex comprises a pavilion,
ceremonial podium apron, security station, roadways and parking set within a landscaped setting.
The detailed landscape is designed to provide a setting that reflects some of the character of the natural
landscape of Qatar. Planting is low, set amongst colored gravels and framed by irregular low stone walls.
The adjacent car parking area is similar in character with the addition of rows of tree planting to provide
shade for vehicles.

Landscape Design Report 90% Submission
2.5.2 Passenger Terminal Frontage Road – Facility A1530
A state-of-the-art passenger complex is planned for NDIA, which features a striking man-made lagoon to
compliment the “natural”bay and water setting. A variety of planted landscapes and gravel surfaces are
provided at strategic locations around the terminal. The road sequence leading up the terminal will have
specific landscape treatments to enhance the vehicle journey. These include blocks of varied planting
groups and gravel surfaces at strategic points such as the edges of the lagoon, bridge abutments,
adjacent car parking areas and terminal building frontage and sides.

2.5.3 Roads Landscaping – Facility E1400


The road circulation network for NDIA features three major transport interchanges. These form the
gateway to the airport from the City of Doha. The landscape design approach includes informal
groupings of trees within the interchanges while more formal blocks of palm and tree planting edge the
road spaces linking the interchanges. Each roadway interchange contains a landscaped roadway entry
feature as a significant component of the entry into the airport. The scope of the planting design at this
point is to enhance this feature area, while the actual feature element design has not been advised as
yet.
At this stage the majority of the planting within the interchange areas is predominantly light tree-planting,
set against the existing graded sand\soil. There are no understorey or other planted areas currently
designed for the interior of the interchanges. As mentioned previously, this level of finish may need some
review to provide an appropriate level of finish for a project of this scale and importance.

2.5.4 Employee Village Landscaping – Facility C5600


The employee village landscaping provides a respite from the busy day to day operations of the airport
by wrapping the facility with an undulating swath of shrubs and tree planting. There are areas set aside
where staff can relax in grassed and treed surroundings. Planted shrubs and trees border a large car
park area with climbing plants growing up onto shade structures to further enhance the vegetal character
of the facility. Shade trees set into grassed areas and a treed courtyard also compliment the employee
village mosque.

2.5.5 Air Traffic Control Tower, General Aviation Terminal and Airline Operations Facility –
Facilities C3100, C4700 & C2300
These three facilities feature well designed and functional landscapes designed to enhance the building
surroundings. The car parking areas included climbing plants attached to shade structures and there are
large islands of shrub and tree plantings.

2.5.6 Nursery Facility, Works Site and Site Office – X1900


As part of the NDIA works, the softworks contractor will provide a temporary on-site nursery, works area
and associated site office facility. The area includes light construction covered areas for potting sheds
and allows for expansion of the facility as required. Irrigation is to be provided for this area.

2.6 Planting Design Guidelines


The Plant List for use in the project will be selected from the existing list of plant materials on the contract
documents and in accordance with established GHD and GCC region guidelines.

75/10395/34026 New Doha International Airport 6 of 74


Landscape Design Report 90% Submission
All species included in the plant list are to be appropriate for the region and readily available (unless
marked) from local nurseries. Imported plants will only be used in limited numbers in focal areas and
may be substituted with a more appropriate species where necessary. A number of plants on the plant
list have been recommended for substitution with other species or varieties. This may be due to several
factors;
» Plant is not suited to local conditions
» Plant is not available locally
» Plant is substituted by a similar species more suited to local conditions
The substitutes will be noted on the plant schedule and included as part of this report. Spacings for
particular plants have also been adjusted to suit local conditions and to achieve maximum performance
from the plant. Changes to planting spacings are also noted on the planting schedule included with this
report

2.6.1 Plant Sizes


All plants shall conform with sizes specified in the planting schedule. The following gives a broad range
of acceptable heights and spreads for key plant types:
» Date Palms will generally be 4.5m max brown trunk
» Treeswill generally be 1.5-2.0m clear trunk and have a minimum calliper (measured at 500mm above
ground level) of 15mm
» Shrubs will generally be 450-800mm height (twin or multi-stemmed)

» Groundcovers will generally range from 100mm-400mm in height and 200mm-400mm in spread
depending on the species

2.6.2 Planting Layouts


» Accentuate the major airport spaces such as the VVIP Emiri and Passenger terminals
» Compliment the relationship with the architecture of the NDIA, while providing visual interest and
climatic amelioration
» Accentuate airport entrances, focal points, road interchanges, high profile areas
» Contribute to an increase in biodiversity
» Maximise privacy around the employee village and mosque
» Reinforce the individual identities of key areas of each facility
» Direct and frame views of the coast, lagoon and other significant features
» Planting selection tolerant of wind, shade and salt conditions
» Ameliorate environmental conditions, by providing shade and protection from wind
» Reflect circulation patterns, visibility, and safety of pedestrian and vehicular traffic

2.7 Grading plans
Grading plans are not included in the landscape design documentation package. The individual facility
contractors are responsible for all hardscape and surface finishes, including roads, kerbs, pedestrian
pavements and retaining wall structures.
As the finished landscape levels will be dependent on the level of the adjacent roads and pavements, the
facility contractor is in the best position to determine the final grading arrangements in consultation with
the landscape architects through the interface process.

2.8 Interface Process


As a component of the design coordination process, the contractor is required to engage in a parallel
ongoing and continuous interface coordination process with all other facility contractors across the NDIA
project site as warranted.
This involves regular contact with facility contractors whose work coincides with landscape and irrigation
infrastructure. Such contractors include but are not limited to the following;
» CP13 – Utility Systems

» CP14 – Airside \ Landside Roadways and Parking


» CP15 - Airport Operations Facilities
» CP17 – Air Traffic Control and Support Facilities

» CP18 - Passenger Terminal Complex


» CP19 - Emiri Terminal Parking Structure and Mosque
» CP20 – Airline Engineering Offices and Airline Operations Facility
Interface process includes the discussion and resolution of interface points such as;
» Road crossing ducts for irrigation infrastructure
» Power supplies to irrigation equipment
» Coordination and integration of planting with built elements
Also included in the discussion is the coordination of timelines to manage the handover process from
facility contractor to CP12 landscape team of areas requiring final landscape planting and irrigation. This
process should ensure a smooth transition between the various contractors interfacing with CP12,
occurring within acceptable timeframes

2.9 Soil Testing


As a component of the submittal process, the contractor will submit soil analysis reports that confirm;
» The amended soil has the appropriate material additive content to be suitable for planting purposes

75/10395/34026 New Doha International Airport 8 of 74


Landscape Design Report 90% Submission
2.10 Samples
The contractor will submit samples of materials for the approval of the Engineer. Apart from plant
materials the samples required will include;
» Stone \ gravel mulch
» Organic mulch
» Decorative gravel
» Header material

2.11 Landscape Maintenance


The contractor shall commence the two year maintenance period as soon as all plantings are completed
in accordance with the contract documents, and upon a Letter of Acceptance from the Engineer. During
the maintenance period the contractor will provide an appropriately qualified team to undertake ongoing
maintenance, replacement and\or protection of all planted material.
Maintenance will include the following;
» Temporary protection measures as required
» Replacement and\or treatment of damaged or injured plants (resulting from contractors operations)
or as directed by the Engineer
» Adjustment of watering basins to reflect seasonal conditions
» Maintain weed control
» Prune trees as required
» Adjust tree staking as required
» Maintain palm trees including the removal of dead fronds

» Maintain lawn areas through mowing, trimming of edges, thatch control and aeration

2.12 PWA Presentation


On April 25 2006, the JV organised a presentation to the Head of the Beautification Division (BED) of the
Public Works Authority of Qatar for their information and comment. The presentation established that
ownership and responsibility for Ras Abu Abboud Street would eventually pass to the BED.
The BED advised on a number of points relating to the current design;
» Visual appearance of Ras Abu Abboud Street was an important issue and the design should reflect
this, ie, Valve cylinder chambers exposed concrete covers should be camouflaged in some way,
Grassed edges should be protected to avoid high maintenance requirements

75/10395/34026 New Doha International Airport 9 of 74


Landscape Design Report 90% Submission
» Plants native to Qatar should be used in the overall design, and emphasis placed on use of rare or
unusual palms on the approaches to the terminal buildings
» Proposals for VVIP areas require enhancement
» Ras Abu Abboud Street interchanges should include some planting in color

Botanical Name: Phoenix dactylifera
Common Name: Date Palm
Type: Palm

Habit: A multi-stemmed palm from which the suckers are


usually removed to create single stemmed
specimens. The broad gray trunk is patterned with
diamond-shaped leaf scars and the large greenish
or bluish gray pinnate leaves are typically 5.5-6.1 m
long by 0.6 m wide.

Requirements: Prune suckers annually to create single trunk


specimens. Prefers bright sun. Although a drought
resistant desert plant, the date palm has deep roots
that typically seek out subterranean water sources.
Provide regular irrigation for best look and faster
growth.

Botanical Name: Washingtonia robusta
Common Name: Mexican Fan Palm
Type: Palm

Habit: The gray trunk is ringed with closely set leaf scars
although usually at least part of the trunk remains
covered with dead leaves that hang in a thatch. The
solitary trunk bulges at the ground and becomes
slender as it approaches the crown. As the leaves
die, they fall against the trunk to create the "hula
skirt" effect for which this palm is famous.

Requirements: Washington palm prefers a moderately rich well


drained soil but can survive on sand (poor soils). It
does best in bright sunny conditions but Washington
palm will tolerate some shade. Washington palm is
drought resistant when established, but looks better
and grows faster when given adequate moisture.
