Al Muntazah Street Extension Project

The Al Muntazah Street Extension Project-013 involves re-constructing and upgrading a new dual carriageway on Abu Hamour Road from the East Industrial Interchange to the Woqod Interchange and on F-Ring Road from the Woqod Interchange to the Al Jazeera Interchange. The project's purpose is to provide a modern road network throughout the urban and rural parts of the city of Doha.

As per the project's specifications, two groundwater monitoring stations, each at five different underpasses, were required. Groundwater is one of the most essential natural resources. Knowing the groundwater level is vital for several reasons, including understanding aquifer levels under static conditions and pumping conditions, determining how the levels interact with local surface water sources, and understanding how surface development has impacted the aquifer.

Groundwater level measurements are the principal source of information about hydrologic stresses acting on aquifers and how these stresses affect groundwater recharge, storage, and discharge during construction progress. Thus, monitoring the groundwater level became of the utmost importance for the project. 

Encardio Rite’s sister concern, Rite Geosystems WLL in Qatar, was that Encardio Rite was awarded the sub-contract for long-term groundwater level monitoring. Scope of works included:

• Supply and install a groundwater level monitoring system. 
• Commissioning of online system
• Web-based data monitoring service
