Nama Water Services Provides Innovative Solutions for Clearing Sewage Network Blockages
Muscat - Nama Water Services is committed to proactively addressing sewerage network blockages within its service areas. This proactive approach is rooted in the company's dedication to ensuring the sustainability of sewerage services and minimizing environmental impact. Nama Water Services underscores its commitment to public health and environmental preservation by preventing pollution from blockages.
To mitigate the risk of sewage network blockagesEng/ Ahmed alarimi said, the company implements a two-part strategy. The first part involves a proactive approach of regular cleaning to prevent blockages. The second part involves a reactive approach to address blockages after they occur, which are often caused by accumulated waste and materials. Traditionally, manual removal of these blockages presented challenges due to worker safety risks and the time and effort required.
Nama Water Services has successfully resolved these sewage network blockages using cutting-edge equipment and technology. This proactive measure ensures the uninterrupted function of sewage systems and prevents future disruptions caused by solid waste buildup.
Eng/Hitham Al Jabri said: The company owns two types of equipment: cutting-edge and well-suited to Oman's terrain and sewerage systems. Its fleet of 15 pieces of equipment, ranging in size, can clear all blockages. A standout piece of machinery is a large, specialized unit, one of only three in the Gulf region, exclusively owned by Nama Water Services. This exceptional equipment excels at clearing blockages in deep, long-distance networks and even within wastewater treatment plants.
A team of skilled national experts manages and operates blockage treatment equipment at Nama Water Services Company. The company is committed to staying updated with the latest technological developments in this field to ensure efficient operations. Furthermore, the company actively engages with regional and global institutions and companies to share knowledge and best practices. This equipment is utilized to address blockages through two primary methods: cleaning networks and responding to subscriber-reported issues, as well as adhering to an annual cleaning program. This program, designed to prevent blockages, is based on factors such as the area's characteristics, population density, historical blockage data, and network age. By maintaining clean networks, the company effectively eliminates odor issues caused by sewage waste gases.
To eliminate waste-related blockages, a high-pressure water pumping system is utilized. Water is introduced into the network according to specific standards and measurements, forcing waste through ventilation openings. The process begins at the initial point, with waste being collected at the nearest ventilation opening. Additionally, a high-pressure suction system is employed to remove obstructing waste and deposit it into the equipment tank.
These efforts have effectively resolved blockage issues in the company's sewerage networks. As a result, the number of reported blockages has decreased significantly, from *** to *** complaints, as of
