KAUST is requested to expedite the concurrence of relocation route design for SWCC water pipes found east of Kaust. The proposed route is the most cost effective and less time consuming and yet provides the best solution without any interruptions to traffic flows or water flows. Based on the existing location of the pipes, any other alternatives shall require various time consuming obstacles as follows;
1. Coordination with MOT for traffic diversions or approvals from MOT to cut though the roadway
2. Trans-boring across the MOT is time consuming
3. Interruption to the flow of water as no valves exists on the east side of MOT in the near vicinity.
4. The location of the buried pipes, 2-3m deep, is not known, and no pipes existed at the locations provided by SWCC. Finding exsiting pipes is time consuming.
5. Any other tap in point shall require doubling the quantities of new pipes, bearing in mind that new pipes shall be laid before decomissioning the existing ones.
6. NOT only MOT but the exit ramps along the bridge shall also require trans-boring or interruptions.

Based on the above circumstances, the best possible solution has been made and shall be implemented and if KAUST or SWCC can suggest a more cost-effective and time-sensitive alternative/ solution, SAPMT shall evaluate and implement in the best interest of the project.
