Introduction
Repeated floods in Shkodra city have peaked in January 2011, when a significant
portion of the city roads and buildings were flooded by water. For weeks the road
accessibility in the city was blocked or at least significantly limited, and the first
floors in some buildings remained under water. The buildings, the drinking water
supply and power supply systems were seriously damaged. In order to minimize the
occurrence of flooding and prevent effects associated with high waters in the central
and peripheral part of the city, a set of emergency interventions is planned. These
interventions will be financed by the World Bank, the Land Administration and
Management Project (LAMP) Component D, and as such, are subject to this
Environmental Management Plan.
An engineering design has been prepared and will be proposed for implementation in
order to establish steps for management of surface waters in the event of severe
hydro-meteorological events. Respecting such engineering design (construction of
collectors in some roads in the Shkodra city (for more detail refer to Technical
specification)) this Environmental Management Plan will identify all associated
environmental and social impacts, and propose adequate mitigation and monitoring
measures, which will help fully mitigate all negative environmental impacts
associated with such activities. The engineering design is separated in three Lots
which have quite similar impacts on the environment. That’s why environmental
considerations are given as a whole for all implementation action (works). Mitigation
measures and monitoring program are given in separated tables.
1.0 Generalized Environmental Impacts of floods in Shkodra city
The environmental impacts of flooding in Shkodra city are categorized with regard to
a screening that follows logically the effects in intensive human habitats (inhabited
areas). This orientation defines the range of affected elements/environments
considering socio-economical one and health impacts as more important and than
others like biodiversity etc. The impacts of the flooded parts of Shkodra city can be
considered as cumulative negative impacts categorized as follows:
1.1 Economical impacts;
Damage or destruction of all investments in the shops, services andresidences, destruction or damage of materials in storehouses that generallyconsists in the ground of the constructions.
Damage of the houses and their capital goods and equipment, and other goods.
Paralyzing of all economical activities.
Destruction of all garden productions in the garden houses.
1.2 Infrastructure impacts
Damage of electrical and telecommunication net.
Damage of operational activity of water supply and waste water systems in theflooded areas.
Blocking of accessibility and limitation of transport (Main entrance and othercommunication roads were flooded)
Damaging of transport vehicles in the parks at the flooded areas.
Paralyzing of oil and gas furniture points
1.3 Social Impacts;
Paralyzing of all social life for weeks, like schools and education, recreationetc.
Blocking the movement for tourism purposes (indirect economical negativeimpact).
Damage the psychology of children and juvenile.
Incite conflicts by increasing challenge of survival
Disturbance by relocation
Disturbance at other citizens or in other area by temporary placement offamilies that cannot continue to live in flooded area.
1.4 Health and Safety Impact;
Risks of epidemic caused by the dispersion of pollution and contamination bywaters.
Contamination of surface waters (Buna river and Shkodra Lake) byhydrocarbons (oil and gas), solid wastes etc, washed and discharged in thesurface water during water recantation.
Insufficient quality of drinking water in the supply system or mixing ofdrinking water with surface or sewage waters
Contamination of stand-by food resources
Inciting of diseases by humidity mostly at sensitive individuals
Damaging and paralyzing of drugstores and emergence safety centers.
1.5 Impacts on biodiversity and green cover;
Contamination of specific habitats after flooding by water dispersion andrecantation.
Death of lake fish that have been moved from their habitat by the stormwaterinflux.
Decomposing of plants in gardens and green areas
Migration of garden birds in not flooded areas
Dead or migration of soil specific fauna
Substantial quantities of municipal or other waste materials being carried bywater and deposited in sensitive areas
Because of such huge and cumulative negative impacts the intervention toavoid/prevent the flood or minimize its effects can be considered as a fully positiveenvironmental and social action. Still, to avoid also some possible negative impactsby construction phase during intervention specific environmental mitigationmeasures are proposed to be included in the technical design and for the contractorto abide by and/or implement.
2.0 Description of Works to be Performed
The rehabilitation and improvement activities will focus on the the main storm water
collector in the main road sections of Shkoder town – in the street “Bul. Zogu I-re”
(Xhabiej-Parruce-Teater), and continues with the streets, “Q.Dracini”, ”M.Camaj”
(Teater-sheshi Rus),”Europa”(Sheshi Rus-Axhensia Koplik) , it starts to the discharge
point from Molo street, (street to Shtepia e Mushkonjes) and continues up to the Russian
square, with a length of 2.5 km.
Selected portions of this collector will be rehabilitated and improved, therefore improving
the efficiency of the collection system and decreasing the flooding of the above roads and
objects. The actual works are separated in three lots, details of which can be found in
Annex 3 of this SEMP.
In addition, all roads that are going to be subject to excavation for access to the
stormwater collector, will be brought to their previous state following completion of
works, with adequate sloping to ensure drainage into the collector.
For details on a summarized technical design, please see Annex 3.
3.0 Environmental Data
3.1 Shkoder City
Shkodër is a city located on Lake of Shkoder in northwestern Albania in the District of
Shkodër. It is one of the oldest and most historic cities in Albania, as well as an
important cultural and economic centre. Shkodër's estimated population as of
2004[update] is 90,000; if the surrounding region is included the population is 110,000.
As of 2008 the population was 228,000 including the surrounding region, villages and
mountains. The town was known as Scodra during antiquity, and was the capital of the
first kingdom of the Illyrian tribe of the Ardiaei, since the middle of the 3rd century BC.
The town, was first mentioned during classical times as the site of the Illyrian Labeates,
as well as the capital of the kingdom of King Gentius in which he minted coins - and that
of Queen Teuta. In the year 168 BC, the city was captured by the Romans and it became
an important trade and military route. The Romans colonized the town. Scodra remained
in the province of Illyricum, and later Dalmatia. By it 395 AD, it was part of the
Diocese of Dacia, within Praevalitana. Nowaday Shkodër city remains the most
important educational and industrial center iof the North Albania. The city produces
various mechanical and electrical components, along with textile and food products. Luigj
Gurakuqi University of Shkodër is one of the more prestigious learning centers of
Albania. The public library of the city contains more than 250,000 books. Several other
cultural institutions exist, such as the Cultural Center, the Marubi Photo Archives, the
Artists and Writers Association, the "Migjeni" Theater (named after Millosh Gjergj
Nikolla), the Gallery of Arts, and the Museum of History. Shkodër is the center of
Albanian Catholicism and the most prominent city of Roman Catholics in Albania.
Historic cultural architecture includes the Castle of Shkodër, the Turkish Bath, and the
Lead Mosque. Many festivals take place on an annual basis such as Carnival, Children
Festival, Lake Day, and Shkodra Jazz Fest. All of such richness makes the city very
interesting for tourism development.
3.2 Climate
Shkodër has a Mediterranean climate (Csa) that is almost wet enough in July to be a
humid subtropical climate (Cfa); the average yearly temperature in the city varies from
14.5 °C (58.1 °F) to 16.8 °C (62.2 °F). The temperature in January ranges from 1.7 °C
(35.1 °F) to 9 °C (48.2 °F); in July, from 20 °C (68.0 °F) to 32 °C (89.6 °F). The average
yearly rainfall is about 1,675 millimetres (65.9 in), which makes the area one of the
wettest in Europe.
3.3 Specific Environments
The Parruca quarter is situated in the Shkodra city. The city, is bordered in its West from
the Shkodra Lake Nature Managed Reserved and in its South-West by Buna River, part
of Protected Area of Shkodra Lake, Buna River, Velipoja Forest, Domi Marshland and
Viluni Lagoon. The direct territorial contacts with Lake of Shkodra and Buna river, make
this study to be focused more in both of such important parts of Protected Area in terms.
In any case the city is outside the borders of Protected Area (also from buffer zone).
Buna transboudary river, not far than 500m from the city, and Buna outlet, are an
Important Bird Area for the country. Migration of various fish species is through the
Buna River includes “Acipenser sturio”. In this area can be found “globally threatened
species” of plants and animals like “Trapa natans” and otter “Lutra lutra”. Domi marsh is
very rich on water birds with high significance in Mediterranean lowland environments.
The Shkodra Lake, in the coast of which is lied Shkoder city, is declared as Natural
Managed Reserve in 2007. This is a transboundary Protected Area shared by Albanian
and Montenegro Countries. The Montenegro Part of the lake is designated as a RAMSAR
site. The Shkodra Lake is the largest lake of Balkans with important specifics. It is an
IBA (Important Bird Area) in Europe with about 40 waterfowls and other bird species. In
the lake waters (also in Buna River from which Shkodra lakes discharges in the Adriatic
Sea) are counted 45 fish species, among which the highly threatened specie of “Acipenser
sturio”. The site has very characteristic vegetation, where threatened plant species occur,
such as “Nymphaea alba”, “Nyphar luteum”,” Nymphoides peltata”,” Trapa natans” and
others.
4.0 Local permit requirements
In the Law No 8756, dated on 26.03.2001, “On Civil emergencies”, in Article 4, “Types
of Structures” is expressed that for planning and management of civil emergencies shall
be established temporary and permanent structures at the central and local level. In this
law is not mentioned the need for environmental permit. Nevertheless the WB policies
and their framework respecting environmentally sound developments is conditioning
preparation of a Summarized Environmental Management Plan as a key instrument for
implementation of Environmental Friendly actions. So this study is related also to the
basic environmental legal framework regarding permitting requirements in developments
in the area is the Law Nr. 10 440, dated 7.7. 2011 on “Environmental Impact
Assessment”. Following analyzes is done to justify that this study is developed in respect
of Albanian legislation related to Protected Area, environmental permits etc.
1. The reconstruction of draining system in Parruca quarter is focused only in worksfor rehabilitation, without changing the shape, of existing roads, pavements,damaging of any close environments or territories etc.
2. This action tries to control negative effects of overflows in the area, reducing theenvironmental and health risks, specific site pollution etc.
3. The works will be performed and enclosed considering providing the urbanenvironments in such conditions that are fully “environmentl voices”.
In the chapter of “Environmental Impact Assessment Law”, at Article 8 and 9, is the
projects that undergoes to the pre-assessment and profound EIA, respectively in point b
and a is mentioned that Projects that undergo Impact Assessment on Environment
are given at annexes 1 and 2 of this law. Referring to these annexes, the project in
term doesn’t require profound or summarized EIA. By this analysis and referring
to the Albanian legal framework it can be concluded that the intervention for
providing the draining efficiency in Paruca quarter, upon national framework and
international guides doesn’t requires environmental permit. In these terms Water
PIU ensures an official statement from Shkodra REA in form of “Giving of
Opinion”, were is stated that the projects in terms doesn’t requires the
environmental Permits.
5.0 Negative Impact Screening and categorization
To provide a clearer and more practical picture of the associated environmentalimpacts the screening and categorization process can be considered as a crucial step.The positive impacts are not analyzed in this process, because those are answers forany type of negative impacts listed So as far the interventions will be in an intensivehabited area (city) and the land use will be not changed (or changes during the worksare not significant) following are not considered impacts to the biodiversity. Thisstrategy is justified so that the negative impacts will have designated mitigationmeasures for all important impacts regardless of the environment that is expected tobe damaged. Following is the table of impact screening.

Table 1.Overall screening and categorization of negative impacts
The impact weight is classified in several categories considering low weight, moderateweight, high and very high. The Very high impact is considered the most importantnegative impact by weight perspective. The impact effects are classified by theirimportance in low impacts, moderate impacts, no cumulative impacts and cumulativeones. The last one is more important or considered as most negative one. Considerationof above mentioned impacts will help on giving some specification regarding themitigation measures and monitoring plan. Looking to environmental norms regardingAlbanian legislation and international framework this report considers not only impactscaused by works and transport, but also that seems to be caused by concrete productionand use and asphalt ones at road remediation phase.
The preparation or using of asphalt for road covering (phase of road rehabilitation afterworks) should consider at first the existing status of road cover and possible other covertypes that should run in compatibility with road continuity cover characteristics. Bitumenis a non-ecologically toxic product which presents no danger to plant and aquaticenvironments. It is anticipated that proper management of the bitumen at present andeffective planning of its exploitation in future will reduce to the barest minimum all itsdiverse but serious effects. Due to its longevity, bitumen can be recycled, as is commonpractice with asphalt roads and paving. The use of "old" road material as a component inmaking the new asphalt is relatively common practice. The asphalt specifications indicatethe amount allowed and the methods to calculate the contribution of the old (hardened)bitumen to the new mixture. In our case, the browken up asphalt can be used as roadmaterial for the new paving material. The process is environmentally friendly because itsaves on waste disposal, and also saves on the use of new resources (aggregate andbitumen).
Positive impacts Negative impacts
Constructions are thinner compared to rock or
concrete so there is less excavation spoil
Asphalt placements follow contours and go around
structures without need for formwork or cutting of
concrete blocks, so waste material is kept to a
minimum
Asphalt reduces exploitation of alternative resources -
rock or concrete - which have greater negative impacts
Materials can be recycled
Can encourage growth of local flora
Installations blend well with surroundings in time
Installations, including reservoirs, river banks and
coastal promenades have recreational value
Noise nuisance from transporting and mixing
materials
Noise nuisance from transporting and placing
plant
Disruption to the local community by delivery
traffic
Carbon dioxide emissions from plant
Energy consumption by plant
Visual impacts both during and after
construction

6.0 Environmental Mitigation Plan – Environmental Evaluation
The Environmental Mitigation Plan is an integral part of the project implementation and
design documents. The EMP will be a part of the bidding and contractual documents for
which the contractor hired will be responsible to implement and to ensure that all works
are completely conducted in a manner which will not generate negative impacts to the
environment. The works Supervisor will ensure compliance with the EMP listed
measures and provide reports on compliance. The EMP is separated into two segments –
one for the construction phase and the second for the impacts that relate to the operation
and overall environmental and social impacts of the draining system.
A summarized management plan, is prepared for three Lots together. Notification,
Worker and Citizens Safety, are considered as very important issues to be considered to
realize the public awareness, community support and traffic facilitation. General
mitigation measures for construction and rehabilitation activities are considered also as
very important. Air, water and land quality, waste management and traffic/road safety are
taken into account for some general orientation of mitigation measures. All mitigation
measures should be in respect with Albanian construction and environmental legislation
in general and specifically with the Law No. 10 431, dated on 9.6.2011 “On
Environmental Protection”.

The Summarized Environmental Management Plans of reconstruction of “Stormwaters-
Parruca”, Dobrac and Bahcallek drinking water pumping stations has been made
available to the public through being placed in the Shkodra Municipality and on the Web
site of General Directorate of Water Supply and Sanitation: www.dpuk.gov.al as well
as at Shkodra Municipality Web site: www.shkodra.gov.al. Contact person is Ms. Aida
Shllaku in Shkodra Municipality (email; [email protected], mobile 068 20 49 415).
Several meetings and round tables have been held between environmental consultant and
community representatives, environmental experts of Shkodra, engineers, owners of
cafeterias, representatives of medias etc. in Annex 2 are shown the main fruitful minutes
of meetings. The community representatives meet, were not well focused on
environmental problems than in expectations of avoiding flood effects. So, the consultant
and most interested representatives decided to hold an official public consultation
meeting in the 24 of the November 2011, at Shkodra Municipality. Minutes of meeting
and list of attendees is included in Annex 2. Comments on possible effects on increasing
of the pipes diameter, are considered very useful and are included in the mitigation
measures plan and monitoring one.
The date of public consultation was announced by local radio (Radio Shkodra) and
“Panorama” newspaper, where was given also information for the place of the meeting
and the address where the interested subjects can get the summarized management plans.

List of Key Attenders
ANNEX 3 2.0 Summarized Technical project
The action for increasing of the efficiency of the draining system of Shkodra city isseparated into three lots. Following is description of each of them, accompanied with aphoto of each area.
2.1 Lot 1.
Location(Consider also map and the photos in Annexes):
The main storm water collector is placed in the main road axis of Shkodra town, in the street
”Bul.Zogu I-re” and “Clirimi”, it starts to the discharge point from Molo street, (street to Shtepia
e Mushkonjes) and continues up to the Russian square, with a total length of 2.5 km. There is a
change in section, thereby the position and the flow, from the inflow up to Parruce, with a length
of 1.2 km, it is a section of 2x180x110 cm, from Paruca up to Theatre with a length of 0.4 km, it
has a section of 150x150 cm, and the last part of section θ1000 mm. In this segment only the first
part is built, from ± 0.000 to ± 0.900 (palace with bridge) with section 2x1800x1100 mm.
Function:
The main storm water collector, which is located in the main street of the town (Bul.Zogu I-re,
rr.Clirimi) has a watershed area of about 100 ha, replaces and better recovers the mill lines of the
town, which helps the rainwater move off from the town toward the Buna river, jointly with new
developments of the town.
Taking into account the function of this collector and the fact that actually the old network
doesn’t work, and the high rainfall intensity in this area, it brings the necessity of finishing this
collector, which in this case is the segment from Parruca (palace with bridge) up to the square in
front of “Migjeni” theater.
The segment which is going to reconstructed, starts from "Pallati me Ure" – up to "Sheshi
ne Parruce , with a length of 385 ml.
Current situation
The main storm water collector, which is located in the main street of the town (” Bul.Zogu I-re”
and “ Clirimi ”, is build up to the first segment, from the discharge of Buna riverbed (Shtepia e
Mushkonjes) up to the palace with bridge. This is an investment of Austrian Government in the
years 1998-2000, while the inbuilt causes many problems for the rain water discharge, which
discharges water and floods the track roads. Existing network (system of mill lines) doesn’t work
as result of new construction investments, in a long period of time. Based on the above
information the existing collector is out of function.
Existing infrastructure
Being part of previous studies for the storm water network, this axis is partially built from the
discharging point up to the palace with bridge with a section 2x180x110 cm. The rainwater
chambers network is built in this segment. Including the other parts of this network, the waste
water collector K1, water supply collector Ɵ350 mm, canal telephone lines 6 x 110 mm, on this
road present the most important network .
Based on the characteristics given from the design tasks and the actual state, there are these
technical choices.
Storm Water System
Based on the Austrian study and confirmed with the feasibility study for water and waste water
systems in Shkodra from Germans in 2007, this segment is planned to be finished within two
sections:
First part, with a length 385 ml will be with two sections 180x110 cm, of reinforced
concrete structure M-300, waterproof, thick 30cm, (the segment from the palace with
bridge up to Parruce square).
This part will be built almost in the axis of the road, depending on the existing engineering
network, since waste water and water supply systems are in this segment, at a distance of 1.5 m
from sidewalks, and telephone lines are in plastic pipe system, in set of six pipes. Construction of
this collector will be in monolith reinforced concrete, M-300, merging walls and the floor with
waterplast.
For every 40 ml having control chambers and also storm water chambers. Sections in length are
separated by a concrete wall with 60x60 cm open holes.
In its length, will be discharged through a 500 mm pipe, the streets " L.Prizrenit, ish Dekori,
C.Broja", while for the discharge of the street "D.Borici, a separate collector will be built with a
diameter of 800mm.
Second part:
In the whole length of the collector, after every 40 ml, will be constructed the outlets in pits
form, which are going to be discharge also the rainwater chambers network, in dimensions
40x70xh cm, Ɵ 400 mm corrugated drain pipes. The transversal pipes will be placed under the
road layers, in those parts where the pipes are elevated we will place a concrete layer protection
of about 10 cm, as a ring form.
To minimize the possibility of functioning as a drainage system, which could damage the road,
the pipe system is going to be isolated.
The Road
The cross section of the road will be returned to its original state once works are completed, re-
building the layers in the track canal area. The layers which are going to be build include:
compressed gravel or stony waste 30 cm, stabilizer layer 10 cm, bitumen conglomerate 6 cm,
binder 6 cm asphalt concrete 4 cm. The other parts of the asphalt will be paved making before
the leveling with binder, and then with concrete asphalt.
Taking into account the sidewalks and borders situation, the road level is going to be restructured
in the longitudinal direction.
For the entire length of the road concrete ditches on both sides will be made 50 cm wide. In case
of intersections with side roads the ditch will be doubled. In all cases cross slope of the ditch is
10%, in the case of double extended ditch, is the same slope but in opposite directions.
Regarding the width, in longitudinal direction the ditches are going to keep the slope of the road.
Taking into account the liquefaction module basement which is > 90N/mm², number of
commercial crossings - 4.000.000, also the first segment of the road, road layers will be in river
gravel or ballast, ballast machine stabilizer layer 1 x 10 cm, who will serve for the body road
profiling, bitumen conglomerate 6 cm, binder 6 cm, and asphalt concrete 4 cm (which will be
new clothing for the road segment)
From Pallati me ure up to Sheshi Parruce, the road will be 13 m wide, with two slopes, i=2%,
from the road axis up to the edges.
For the gravel layer river gravel with granular homogeneity will be used, without clay, silt or
other vegetative component composition. This layer will ensure the module deformation 800
kg/cm². To achieve this, the gravel placement will be in two layers 2x15 cm, roller compressed
until Yth=1.95 T/m³ or E=800 kg/cm², being wetted from time to time.
For the stabilizer layer the selected material must have a continue granulometry with particles
2.5-20 mm, and up to 10 % dust content. The ballast layer with 10 cm height is going to be
placed above the compressed gravel layer, with a slope according to the project, without clay and
organic composition, getting wet, and compressed by roller greater than 10 Ton and not less than
8 ways.

2.2 Lot 2
Location(Consider also map in annex 1):
The main storm water collector is placed in the main road axis of Shkoder town, in the street
”Bul.Zogu I-re” (Xhabiej-Parruce-Teater), and continues with the streets, “Q.Dracini”,
”M.Camaj” (Teater-sheshi Rus),”Europa”(Sheshi Rus-Axhensia Koplik) , it starts to the
discharge point from Molo street, (street to Shtepia e Mushkonjes) and continues up to the
Russian square, with a length of 2.5 km. There is a change in section, thereby the position and
the flow, from the inflow up to Parruce, with a length of 1.2 km, it is a section of 2x180x110
cm, from Paruca up to Theatre with a length of 0.4 km, it has a section of 150x150 cm, and the
last part of section θ1000 mm up to the intersection with the “ Bashkimi“ street, to be closed to
the terminal part, up in the square before the ‘Preng Jakova”, school, with a diameter of 800 mm.
In this segment only the first part is built, from ± 0.000 to ± 0.900 (palace with bridge) with
section 2x1800x1100 mm, and the segment from Parruca-Teater, 1500mm x 1500mm.
Function:
The main storm water collector, which is located in the main street of the town (Bul.Zogu I-re,
rr.Clirimi) has a watershed area of about 100 ha, replaces and better recovers the mill lines of the
town, which helps the rainwater move off from the town toward the Buna riverbed, jointly
with new developments of the town.. Taking into account the function of this collector and the
fact that actually the old network doesn’t work, and the high rainfall intensity in this area, it
brings the necessity of finishing this collector, which in this case is the segment from “Migjeni”
theater” up to the square before the ‘Preng Jakova” school .
The segment which is going to be reconstructed starts from "Sheshi Rus” – up to Agjensia
koplik , with a length of 404 m.
Current situation
The main storm water collector, which is located in the main street of the town (” Bul.Zogu I-re”
and “ Clirimi ”, is built up to the first segment, from the discharge of Buna riverbed (Shtepia e
Mushkonjes) up to the palace with bridge. This is an investment of Austrian Government in the
years 1998-2000, while the inbuilt causes many problems for the rain water discharge, turning
the track roads in rain water canals. Existing network (system of mill lines) doesn’t work as
result of new construction investments, in a long period of time. Based on the above information
the existing collector is out of function. Being part of discharging scheme of this collector, white
water network is at risk in some important roads already built as a result of discharge of their
collectors carried out either in provisional and inappropriate places, or not connected at all with
white water network (str."B.Bishanaku", "N.Kryeziu", "7 Shkurti", "N.Luli", "Tafilica", etc.). In
the case of the segment we are studying, the road near “ Fototeka Marubi” the road before the
university’s old corps "Luigj Gurakuqi,,, „Bashkimi“ and „Xheladin Fishta“ streets, have
blocked their road discharge.
Existing infrastructure
Being part of previous studies for the storm water network, this axis is partially built from the
discharging point up to the palace with bridge with a section 2x180x110 cm. The rainwater
chambers network is built in this segment. Regarding the other parts of this network, the waste
water collector K1, water supply collector Ɵ350 mm, canal telephone lines 6 x 110 mm, on this
road is build the most important network engineering.
Based on the objects characteristics given from the design tasks and the actual state, there are
these technical choices.
White Water System
The information provided below is based on the Austrian study and confirmed with the
feasibility study for water and waste water systems in Shkodra from Germans in 2007.
The segment will have a length of 404 ml, in r/c pipe and a diameter of 800 mm.
This part will be built on the axis of existing road, since waste water and water supply systems
are in this segment, at a distance of 1.5 m from sidewalks, and telephone lines are in plastic pipe
system, in set of six pipes. Construction of this collector will be in pre/fabricated reinforced
concrete, M-300. For every 40 ml having control chambers and also storm water chambers.
In its length, will be discharged through a 500 mm corrugated pipes, the secondary roads,
described on layouts design.
The canal slope will be, i=0.002% with a maximal flow of water :
Q = 0.830 m³/sec (found in a table way ) . For the whole length of the collector, after every 40
ml, will be constructed the r/c manholes , which are going to be discharge also the storm water
chambers network, in dimensions 40x70xh cm, Ø 400 mm corrugated drain pipes. The
transversal pipes will be placed under the road layers, in those parts where the pipes are elevated
we will place a concrete layer protection of about 10 cm, as a ring form. To minimize
the possibility of functioning as a drainage system, which could damage the road, the pipe
system is going to be isolated.

white water network (str."B.Bishanaku", "N.Kryeziu", "7 Shkurti", "N.Luli", "Tafilica", etc.). In
the case of the segment we are studying, the road near “ Fototeka Marubi” the road before the
university’s old corps "Luigj Gurakuqi,,, „Bashkimi“ and „Xheladin Fishta“ streets, have
blocked their road discharge.
Existing infrastructure
Being part of previous studies for the storm water network, this axis is partially built from the
discharging point up to the palace with bridge with a section 2x180x110 cm. The rainwater
chambers network is built in this segment. Regarding the other parts of this network, the waste
water collector K1, water supply collector Ɵ350 mm, canal telephone lines 6 x 110 mm, on this
road is build the most important network engineering.
Based on the objects characteristics given from the design tasks and the actual state, there are
these technical choices.
White Water System
The information provided below is based on the Austrian study and confirmed with the
feasibility study for water and waste water systems in Shkodra financed by KFW in 2007.
The segment will have a length of 884 ml, in r/c pipe and a diameter of 1000 mm.
This part will be built 2 m from the axis of existing road, on its left side depending on the
existing engineering network, since waste water and water supply systems are in this segment, at
a distance of 1.5 m from sidewalks, and telephone lines are in plastic pipe system, in set of six
pipes. Construction of this collector will be in pre/fabricated reinforced concrete, M-300. For
every 40 ml having control chambers and also storm water chambers.
In its length, will be discharged through a 500 mm pipe, the roads near “Fototeka Marubi ", the
road before the University, also „Bashkimi“ and „Xheladin Fishta“ streets
The canal slope will be, ik1=0.37 %,ik2=0. 46%,i3=0.19% with a maximal flow of water :
Q=1.77 m³/sek, (found in a table way ) . In the whole length of the collector, after every 40 ml,
will be constructed the r/c manholes , which are going to be discharge also the storm water
chambers network, in dimensions 40x70xh cm, Ø 400 mm corrugated drain pipes. The
transversal pipes will be placed under the road layers, in those parts where the pipes are elevated
we will place a concrete layer protection of about 10 cm, as a ring form. To minimize
the possibility of functioning as a drainage system, which could damage the road, the pipe
system is going to be isolated.
The Road
The cross section of the road will be returned to its original state once works are completed, re-
building the layers in the track canal area. The layers which are going to be built: compressed
gravel or stony waste 30 cm, stabilizer layer 10 cm, bitumen conglomerate 6 cm, binder 6 cm
asphalt concrete 4 cm. The other parts of the asphalt will be paved making before the leveling
with binder, and then with concrete asphalt.
Taking into account the sidewalks and borders situation, the road level is going to be restructured
in the longitudinal direction.
For the entire length of the road concrete ditches on both sides will be made 50 cm wide. In case
of intersections with side roads the ditch will be doubled In all cases cross slope of the ditch is
10%, in the case of double extended ditch, is the same slope but in opposite directions.
Regarding the width, in longitudinal direction the ditches are going to keep the slope of the road.
Taking into account the liquefaction module basement which is > 90N/mm², number of
commercial crossings - 4.000.000, also the first segment of the road, road layers will be in river
gravel or ballast, ballast machine stabilizer layer 1 x 10 cm, who will serve for the body road
profiling, bitumen conglomerate 6 cm, binder 6 cm, and asphalt concrete 4 cm (which will be
new clothing for the road segment)
From “Teatri” up to Sheshi Rus, the road will be 18 m wide, with two slopes, i=2%, from the
axis road up to the borders, and also with the traffic separator in section 1 x60 cm in its own axis.
For the gravel layer river gravel with granular homogeneity will be used, without clay, silt or
other vegetative component composition. This layer will ensure the module deformation 800
kg/cm². To achieve this, the gravel placement will be in two layers 2x15 cm, roller compressed
until Yth=1.95 T/m³ or E=800 kg/cm², being wetted from time to time.
For the stabilizer layer the selected material must have a continue granulometry with particles
2.5-20 mm, and up to 10 % dust content. The ballast layer with 10 cm height is going to be
placed above the compressed gravel layer, with a slope according to the project, without clay and
organic composition, getting wet, and compressed by roller greater than 10 Ton and not less than
8 ways.
