Integrated Strategy for Storm-water Management

In response to climate change and the increasing intensity of storm events, TESECO joined a coalition of governmental, academic, and engineering entities to develop and implement a comprehensive plan for stormwater management in Alexandria. This plan aims to enhance network efficiency and reduce the risks of water accumulation through innovative and sustainable solutions. TESECO also supervised the execution of the project.

• Partial Separation of Stormwater and Sanitary Networks:

To relieve pressure on the system, especially in high-density urban areas.

• Utilization of Surface Runoff:

To discharge water directly into the sea or nearby lifting stations.

• Water Reuse:

By redirecting it to the Mahmoudiyah Canal and the lake behind the airport for use in New Delta development projects

• Network Efficiency Improvement:

Through enhancing the capacity of drainage networks and lifting stations.

• Phase One – October 2022

Locations: Shatby, Cleopatra, Louran - Hotspots Resolved: 14 - Service Area: 1,059,321 m² - Key Works: Construction of 10 direct sea outfalls.

Locations: Victor Emmanuel Square, Smouha, El-Naql and Engineering Street, Mohamed Naguib Street - Hotspots Resolved: 14 - Service Area: 3,529,390 m² - Key Works: Rehabilitation of Lifting Stations 3 and 5, redevelopment of Victor Emmanuel Square, and construction of the largest lifting station in Alexandria.

• Phase Three – November 2024 (Ongoing)

Locations: Sidi Gaber, Omar Lotfy Street (Sporting) - Expected Hotspots to Be Resolved: 14 - Service Area: 973,070 m².
