Monitoring of critical locations during the 2022 FIFA World Cup

The project’s main objective is to optimize water resource operations and management in the biggest sporting event of the year. Heavy rainfall is common during this season, and the region is not sufficiently prepared to handle this type of critical event, given that there are shortcomings in the monitoring of stadiums, water levels in manholes, and in treated water pressures and odors.

The integration of GoAigua Sewer Twin with the Qatar Met Office has maximized the mobilization of resources specifically for the areas of the country that would be affected by a rainfall event. This has been achieved, in part, through real-time monitoring as well as setting up alarms based on rainfall forecasts.

The smart solution implemented by Idrica Qatar (Aguas de Valencia WLL) enables monitoring of water levels, velocity and flow rates in the sewage and rainwater network manholes, as well as keeping a check on the pressure in the treated water network, setting up alarms to prevent potential issues and improve operability. Therefore, this tool helps administrators with management, optimizes response times and streamlines water use.

Ashghal is the Qatar Public Works Authority, an independent body that designs, implements and manages all the State’s infrastructure-related projects and public services. It has been therefore in charge of building the facilities for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
