1. Introduction

1.1 Introduction – Site Location and ContextHis Highness Sheikh Hamad Khalifa AlThani has determined that a new airport is required to satisfy theaviation needs of Qatar in the 21st Century. The New Doha International Airport, located to the east of theexisting Doha International Airport, will be worldclass, stateoftheart and efficient. The accompanyinglandscape design will extend this unique vision to the external spaces of the new facilities, enhancing thearrival \ departure sequence for visitors and add to the road experience for the journey to and from thenew airport.

The landscape approach is delivered across seven separate site facilities that range from elaborate anddetailed design for the VVIP terminal and passenger terminal areas, to major road interchanges withspecific planting design to maximise the travel experience, to well designed functional landscapes thatprovide 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 landscapematerials selected compliment the airport building architecture and take maximum advantage of the site.

2.2 Landscape ObjectivesThe objectives of the landscape design are:

»To create a unique landscape setting and character for all elements of the airport, promoting a highstandard 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

»To create a safe and pedestrian friendly environment for people moving from car parks to the terminaland within other areas of the airport site

General Comment

While the landscape design for the NDIA represents a considerable undertaking in terms of landscapeconstruction and planting, it does not match the extent of the landscape “vision” as presented on typicalproject imaging documents and presentation boards. We would recommend a review of the currentlandscape design once documentation is completed. This would enable additional landscapeopportunities 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 andcirculation patterns and contribute to an increase in biodiversity

»Materials – A variety of hard landscape materials, i.e. gravels, will be used to compliment the softlandscaping. Where practical, materials will be manufactured within the gulf region, and selected fordurability 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 thejoint 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 wellas installation of landscape elements across the site.

Using the plant list derived from the tender documents as a guide, GHD will provide a plant palateincluding scientific and common names, plant characteristics, plant uses, sizes, and colored images of allplant species. Plants that do not have a proven record in the coastal zone will be noted for possiblesubstitution with more appropriate plant species after discussion with the client. Plant spacings in somecases 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 AreasThe NDIA ultimate development planned for 2015 will have the annual capacity to serve 50 millionpassengers. Key facilities within the development have specific landscape treatments and include thefollowing;

2.5.1 EMIRI\VVIP Terminal – Facility B1100

The Emiri complex is provided separately from the passenger terminal due to the different aircraft useand 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 naturallandscape 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 provideshade for vehicles.


2.5.2 Passenger Terminal Frontage Road – Facility A1530

A stateoftheart passenger complex is planned for NDIA, which features a striking manmade lagoon tocompliment the “natural” bay and water setting. A variety of planted landscapes and gravel surfaces areprovided at strategic locations around the terminal. The road sequence leading up the terminal will havespecific landscape treatments to enhance the vehicle journey. These include blocks of varied plantinggroups 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 thegateway to the airport from the City of Doha. The landscape design approach includes informalgroupings of trees within the interchanges while more formal blocks of palm and tree planting edge theroad spaces linking the interchanges. Each roadway interchange contains a landscaped roadway entryfeature as a significant component of the entry into the airport. The scope of the planting design at thispoint is to enhance this feature area, while the actual feature element design has not been advised asyet.

At this stage the majority of the planting within the interchange areas is predominantly light treeplanting,set against the existing graded sand\soil. There are no understorey or other planted areas currentlydesigned for the interior of the interchanges. As mentioned previously, this level of finish may need somereview 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 airportby wrapping the facility with an undulating swath of shrubs and tree planting. There are areas set asidewhere staff can relax in grassed and treed surroundings. Planted shrubs and trees border a large carpark area with climbing plants growing up onto shade structures to further enhance the vegetal characterof the facility. Shade trees set into grassed areas and a treed courtyard also compliment the employeevillage 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 buildingsurroundings. The car parking areas included climbing plants attached to shade structures and there arelarge 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 onsite nursery, works areaand associated site office facility. The area includes light construction covered areas for potting shedsand allows for expansion of the facility as required. Irrigation is to be provided for this area.

2.6 Planting Design GuidelinesThe Plant List for use in the project will be selected from the existing list of plant materials on the contractdocuments and in accordance with established GHD and GCC region guidelines.


All species included in the plant list are to be appropriate for the region and readily available (unlessmarked) from local nurseries. Imported plants will only be used in limited numbers in focal areas andmay be substituted with a more appropriate species where necessary. A number of plants on the plantlist have been recommended for substitution with other species or varieties. This may be due to severalfactors;

» 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 forparticular plants have also been adjusted to suit local conditions and to achieve maximum performancefrom the plant. Changes to planting spacings are also noted on the planting schedule included with thisreport

2.6.1 Plant Sizes

All plants shall conform with sizes specified in the planting schedule. The following gives a broad rangeof acceptable heights and spreads for key plant types:

»Date Palms will generally be 4.5m max brown trunk

»Trees will generally be 1.52.0m clear trunk and have a minimum calliper (measured at 500mm aboveground level) of 15mm

»Shrubs will generally be 450800mm height (twin or multistemmed)

»Groundcovers will generally range from 100mm400mm in height and 200mm400mm in spreaddepending 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 andclimatic 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 plansGrading plans are not included in the landscape design documentation package. The individual facilitycontractors are responsible for all hardscape and surface finishes, including roads, kerbs, pedestrianpavements and retaining wall structures.

As the finished landscape levels will be dependent on the level of the adjacent roads and pavements, thefacility contractor is in the best position to determine the final grading arrangements in consultation withthe landscape architects through the interface process.

2.8 Interface ProcessAs a component of the design coordination process, the contractor is required to engage in a parallelongoing and continuous interface coordination process with all other facility contractors across the NDIAproject site as warranted.

This involves regular contact with facility contractors whose work coincides with landscape and irrigationinfrastructure. 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 fromfacility contractor to CP12 landscape team of areas requiring final landscape planting and irrigation. Thisprocess should ensure a smooth transition between the various contractors interfacing with CP12,occurring within acceptable timeframes

2.9 Soil TestingAs 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


2.10 SamplesThe contractor will submit samples of materials for the approval of the Engineer. Apart from plantmaterials the samples required will include;

» Stone \ gravel mulch

» Organic mulch

» Decorative gravel

» Header material

2.11 Landscape MaintenanceThe contractor shall commence the two year maintenance period as soon as all plantings are completedin accordance with the contract documents, and upon a Letter of Acceptance from the Engineer. Duringthe maintenance period the contractor will provide an appropriately qualified team to undertake ongoingmaintenance, 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 PresentationOn April 25 2006, the JV organised a presentation to the Head of the Beautification Division (BED) of thePublic Works Authority of Qatar for their information and comment. The presentation established thatownership 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 reflectthis, ie, Valve cylinder chambers exposed concrete covers should be camouflaged in some way,Grassed edges should be protected to avoid high maintenance requirements


» Plants native to Qatar should be used in the overall design, and emphasis placed on use of rare orunusual 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
