PLOTS DETAILS
THE FOLLOWING BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE IS PLANNED FOR TEXTILE CITY:

SANITARY SEWAGE SYSTEM: A network of sanitary sewers with manholes will be laid. This network will be linked to the owned Waste Water Treatment Plant.
ROAD NETWORK: Road network has been planned to provide accessibility to individual industrial plots and will be connected to main access roads of PQA. The internal road network has Rights of Way ("RoW") of 100, 75 and 50 meters respectively. These will include dual carriageways, service corridors and will cater to the need of accommodating large vehicle movements and allowance of ample parking space. Special attention will be given to environment friendly green belts.
STORM WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM: A storm water drainage system equipped to handle storm water flow for immediate and future expansion has been incorporated in the plan. The system will be of concrete drains with rectangular/ trapezoidal section and pipe culverts connected to the main drain and the sea.
POTABLE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM: Potable water will be supplied by Textile City after treatment in the plant . For consumption within the City, a network of 150mm to 75mm uPVC pipeline will be laid.
INDUSTRIAL WATER SUPPLY: Industrial water requirement for the Project is estimated at 40-50 MGD (Million Gallons per Day). The water would be supplied through a 23 km long 48 inch diameter pipeline to the limits of Textile City. The pipeline is expected to start its full operation by October 2008.
The Company is conscious about the limitation of water supply in Karachi and is accordingly considering setting up a desalinisation plant or committing off-take water supply from upcoming desalination plants in the vicinity.
POWER GENERATION: Power requirement for the Project is estimated at 250 MW. The plant of 150 MW will be provided by setting up a Power Plant of its own or on BOT basis. The power plant can be a combined cycle plant/ gas fired engine driven generators. The Company is under active discussion to close this loop.
POWER TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION: KESC has committed 100MW electric supply to the company. The distribution network would consist of 132/11 KV grid station and 11KV network.
INDUSTRIAL WASTE WATER DISPOSAL SYSTEM: An Industrial waste water treatment plant will be set-up within the premises of textile city for the treatment and final disposal of the industrial water. The required capacity of the plant has been estimated at 40 MGD.
Industrial waste water from individual plots would be collected through a network of individual sewers laid in the road service corridor. The collected industrial waste water shall be transported to the treatment plant for treatment and final disposal.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM: A 2000 line PTCL exchange with a capacity to expand to 5,000 lines will be established to fulfil the telecommunications requirement of the Textile City.
GAS SUPPLY: Gas requirement for the textile city is approximately estimated at 150 MMCFD to meet power generation, steam and processing. Gas would be provided by SSGC (local gas Company) along with supporting network. The management is in negotiations with SSGC.
