Preface

This Design Manual was prepared for the Public Works Authority Drainage Affairs. The February

the newly created Infrastructure Affairs, and Operation and Maintenance functions within the newly
created Assets Affairs. The Design Manual is adopted and released for use by Public Works
Authority Infrastructure Affairs.
This Preface includes the addition of reference to the Qatar Construction Specification and also
provides adjustments to the Contact Listings contained in the FORWARD to the Design Manual to
reflect the changes brought about through the Public Works Authority restructure.
