Re-designing of the entire Drainage System in Kampala

Project Summary

The re-designing of the entire drainage system in Kampala, commissioned by Sameer Agricultural and Livestock Development and managed by Spaceplan Consults, represents a crucial infrastructure improvement endeavor. Undertaken in 2013, this ambitious project aimed to overhaul and modernize Kampala’s drainage infrastructure to mitigate flooding and improve water management across the city. The project scope encompassed comprehensive assessments, planning, and implementation of new drainage systems designed to handle increased urbanization pressures and climate variability effectively.

Spaceplan Consults, as the architect, collaborated closely with Sameer Agricultural and Livestock Development to develop sustainable and resilient drainage solutions tailored to Kampala’s specific geographical and environmental conditions. The re-designing efforts included the integration of advanced technologies and eco-friendly practices to enhance water quality and reduce the city’s vulnerability to flooding events. By enhancing Kampala’s drainage infrastructure, this project contributes significantly to public safety, environmental sustainability, and urban resilience, reflecting a proactive approach to addressing critical infrastructure challenges in the city.
