  • One Central DHA Lahore: — smart Flood Mitigation System

    Designed to redefine benchmarks in urban development, the project incorporates forward-thinking features that combine open environment aesthetics, pedestrian-friendly pathways, and advanced utility management. Among the core highlights of One Central DHA Lahore is its generous allocation of land to environmental design, dedicating 27 percent of the project area to open spaces.

    Alongside these expansive green and open grounds, the development features broad walks designed to encourage walkability and ease of movement throughout the area. Complementing the physical layout is an integrated smart network system, engineered to modernize community operations and infrastructure oversight.

    Beyond its urban amenities, what truly differentiates One Central DHA Lahore is its specialized focus on flood mitigation through rainwater harvesting. During the execution and development of the site infrastructure, water management has been given prioritized attention to protect the area from monsoon challenges and heavy downpours.

    The flood mitigation mechanism operates through a systematic water harvesting and drainage cycle that begins as soon as rainfall occurs: 1. Surface Run-Off Collection When rain falls over the project, surface run-off is promptly captured through a comprehensive network of storm water drains, preventing water accumulation on streets and public walkways.

    2. Diversion to Harvesting Tank From the storm drainage lines, the collected rainwater is routed directly into an on-site rainwater harvesting storage tank, centralizing excess run-off for controlled management.

    3. Power and Pumping Activation To manage the storage levels effectively, dedicated generators and Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) are switched on to supply power to the heavy-duty pumping system.

    Once energized, the pumps activate to draw the stored water out of the harvesting tank. 4.

    Controlled Water Discharge The extracted storm water is directed away from the development and discharged into the Rohi Nala / Charrar Drain. This coordinated flow efficiently disposes of surplus volumes without burdening the local community roads.

    Through this integrated rainwater harvesting and drainage system, One Central DHA Lahore actively manages excess rainwater, substantially mitigates flood risks, and safeguards community infrastructure to ensure smooth, uninterrupted operations under diverse weather conditions. One Central DHA Lahore is progressing rapidly toward completion, introducing modern master planning and infrastructure standards.
