The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced a new mandatory requirement for tankers to instal tracking devices that will permit their entry into sewage treatment plants.
Applications will be accepted from March 1, and Ashghal will stop allowing tankers that do not have tracking devices installed to enter treatment plants as of August 1.
The requirement of the tracking device installation aims to monitor the tankers and ensure that they discharge at designated plants and not in random or prohibited areas. This will be in addition to controlling their movement during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, Ashghal has said in a statement.
This new device will contribute to monitoring the movement of tankers on an ongoing basis and help reduce violations of environmental laws. In addition, the new system will reduce the travel distance that tankers travel across Qatar by determining their locations and proximity to treatment plants.
Ashghal confirmed that a period of five months will be given to tanker owners, whether companies or individuals. Starting from August 1, Ashghal will stop accepting applications or renewing permits for tankers, and tankers will not be able to fill or discharge treated water in its affiliated plants without providing evidence of a proven and effective tracking device. No tankers will be allowed entry without an installed tracking device after this period.
Explaining how to apply, the authority said tanker owners who request for tracking device installation will be given a SIM card for each tanker through the Ashghal Customer Service, Salwa Road branch. On receiving the SIM card, the tanker owner will be required to complete all data mentioned in the form provided and send it to the following e-mail: [email protected]
The device will be linked with the vehicle tracking system in Ashghal as soon as the information is provided by email. In case there is a complication, a member of the technical support team will contact the individual/company concerned.
For more information about the tracking devices, the required documents or the application process, one can visit the website, http://www.ashghal.gov.qa, and/or call 188.
