CE 3.3 Project Background
CE 3.3.1 Characteristics of the project
This project of Construction of Umm Al-Houl Power Plant IWWP was the third
important project in my engineering career. It is a section of the biggest power as well as
water project of Qatar and is scheduled to be situated within Qatar Economic Zone 3, at the
south of Doha’s capital. This power plant would have the ability of supplying maximum of
2.52 GW of electricity as well as 590,000 cubic metres or 136 million gallon of drinking
water per day for 2.5 million houses in the respective area. The Umm Al-Houl Power was
eventually started by the Qatar General-Electricity and Water Corporation or Kahramma,
Qatar Petroleum, Qatar Foundation as well as K1 Energy for properly managing and
operating the project. I was appointed as the construction manager in this project and I
ensured that this entire project work is being executed properly without any complexity.
CE 3.3.2 Objectives developed for the project
This project was decided to be completed in two distinct phases. The first one was
completed by Q2, 2017 and the second phase is to be completed by Q3, 2018. For completing
the work, I have developed the following objectives:
To construct the Umm Al-Houl Power Plant as the section of the biggest power as
well as water project of Qatar.
To manage as well as operate the power plant for Qatar General-Electricity and Water
Corporation, Qatar Petroleum, Qatar Foundation as well as K1 Energy.
To construct the first phase of this project of Umm Al-Houl Power Plant IWWP.
To implement the project under the National Vision 2030 of Qatar government.
To increment the total outputs of water as well as electricity by 25% and 22%
respectively.
To supply up to 2.52 GW of electricity as well as 590,000m3 of drinking water in one
day to around 2.5 houses in the selected area.
CE 3.3.3 My area of work
I was recruited as the construction manager in this project by my project supervisor.
Since, I had been a part of several big construction projects in my professional career, I was
selected by the management. Previously, I have done similar projects and thus I was given
the major responsibility of managing the constructions. I also had the task of controlling and

taking follow ups of the project procurements. I even had to attend the weekly construction
meetings with the main contractor MRS/HITACHI for identifying the problem area early
enough for corrective actions. I was selected since the management of procurements was
easier for me and I could easily communicate with the subcontractors and vendors.

I supervised as well as inspected the site activities associated to the scope of work and
then held daily construction meetings for removing the site constraints and properly
evaluating the project work. I also reviewed the project schedule and project budget for
estimating the resources for meeting the project milestones. I lead and managed the project
site team and hence managed the resources for preparing the biweekly and triweekly
schedule. I also managed, coordinated and communicated with the procurement department
