INTRODUCTION
The project deals with construction of stadium seats at north side of the stadium aim to accommodate approximately 500 seating people. The purpose of this project is to develop a good quality football stadium stand for football fans at university of Dar es Salaam, it will contain all necessary facilities and constructed in a manner that meets safety requirements and all other necessary qualifications. This development will motivate and increase involvement of higher number of people in sports.
Appointment,
University of Dar es Salaam through
department of sports have confirmed appointment of group 06 ltd as contractors
to undertake Construction Of University
Of Dar Es Salaam Stadiums Stand/Seats
Contractor’s Team
The following contractors are proposed to be
involved in this project, providing specific services:
GROUP
NO 06 LTD – Both Contractors & Architects-

Environmental analysis
Ø site
location
The site is
located behind College of engineering and technology where there are several
sports grounds but the one we are going to deal with is football ground besides
magufuli hostel road
Ø site
accessibility
The site can be
accessed from magufuli hostel road also from nearby football ground which
benefit the users of the ground
Ø site
vegetation
The site is
covered with small sized grasses with also terrain to which it will be cut to
meet the requirements of the project
Ø activities
around the site
Activities
around the site are sports (Tennis, Volleyball, Football, Basketball ) hence
there is no other inconveniences apart from noises coming from fans will be
produced and since other activities are sports hence the project is suitable
Site Inspection / Condition Survey
The client handover the site at 12nd
November 2019 and site inspection started immediately.
During inspection, following issues were
observed:
Ø The
site is located behind Collage Of Engineering and Technology with existed
constructed seats.
Ø The
seats were constructed by concrete to accommodate fewer seating fans
Ø The
seats are 600mm from the existing running tracks, 4000mm by length and comprise
of 5 steps.
Ø The
existing seats are not in good conditions so we will take them off
Identification and Assessment of Potential Impacts
The anticipated positive impacts are:
- Increase
comfortability to sports fans;
- Upgrade
stadium infrastructures;
- Due to the
quality of the design it will motivate greater number of people to sports
ground
- It would be
one of the perfect place for resting during daytime
The most significant negative impacts of reconstructing the sections
are:;
·
The project may
cause erosion problem since the soil is of sand type;
·
Destruction of
vegetation along the section;
·
Increase in
noise during the construction stage,
·
Establishments
of borrow pits;
·
Establishment of
construction camps;
·
Disposal of
construction waste; and
The above negative impacts will occur mainly during the construction
phase.
Mitigation Measures Proposed
·
Planning and
executing earth works with due diligence to prevent soil erosion;
·
Minimizing dust
generation within the settlements by applying water to exposed surfaces;
·
Ensuring the
environmental guidelines on ambient noise are observed by servicing equipment
regularly and working early morning and at night especially in front of noise
sensitive development such as lecture rooms since the site is behind COET
·
Ensuring that
construction camp and borrow pit sites are carefully selected and arranged to
minimize soil erosion and land degradation;
Reason behind
for this project
For so long university of Dar es salaam students have been standing a
while watching a football match and hence become inconvenience and problem
which needed to be solved
The proposed solution to these problems is to construct seats for fans
which would reduce inconveniences to fans also for the status of the University
of Dar es salaam; its sports grounds should match the standard as number one
leading university in Tanzania
The structure will comprise toilets in it for both men and women,
Alternatives to
proposed solution:
- No action
As we have discussed above the importance of this project, to take no
action simply means to continue with our current problem. The seats are
genuinely importance since there are also some students taking sports
programme, and the seats could be one of part of their education
- Using wood benches
This option is not good enough despite being cheap but it will not
accommodate as many fans as the use of concrete constructed seats, which we
recommend to be used in our proposed project
Feasibility
study analysis:
In order to attain measurable, attainable project, the proposed project
must have a potential to surrounding society, to the client himself or herself.
As per our project the first factor we checked on was durability and
sustainability of the project, durability includes the degree of permanence of
the project, since we recommended concrete to be used as main material for
seats construction and whole structure except roof. For sustainability concrete
is one of the materials if constructed well it takes a long period of time
before maintenance
Cost
effectiveness
As explained above the seats will be constructed at north side of the
stadium only for starting point, and material selected are concrete which are
not expensive as to compare to other materials, despite having high initial
cost but they have low operating cost, also for the level of the stadium the
use of concrete seats will be enough for now. Also consultant will help to make
necessary arrangement to provide professional opinions on cost
effectiveness
Risks that may
jeopardize project success
One of the risk we feared it would jeopardize the project is availability
of fund
Time required for
implementing the solution:
Conclusion
To conclude, it
is worth mentioning that environmental and social considerations are
increasingly taking centre-stage in development planning and policy
decision-making process at all levels. This is because of the growing awareness
of the damage being done to the environment in man’s quest for social progress
and economic development. The report describes the complete process by which
the implementation of the construction of stadium seats project will impact on
the environment and social settings and how these impacts were assessed.
After critically
identifying, analyzing and evaluating the potential environmental and social
impacts expected to result from the proposed project.
Mitigating
measures have however been recommended to help eliminate or minimize the
unpleasant impacts identified, in order to enhance the environmental benefits
of the project. Some of the factors that dictate the strategies for the choice
and implementation of the mitigation measures include; technical knowledge,
finance, settlement patterns, climate and cultural beliefs.
