Buildings: washroom building, canteen building, equipment store building,


qualification building, chemical store building, existing office building to
renovation, power house were designed in traditional brick-and-mortar
technology.

Control container was designed as a typical object in container construction.

The general layout of the complex's facilities at the site is designed to meet the
design goals of the technology.

4.3 Communication system


Entrance to the plot is provided from the western side of the plot, from the plot
of road. Handling of transport vehicles will take place via an internal road in the
form of a loop with several perpend roads, allowing direct access to individual
buildings. Depending on the traffic, there were designed two kinds of routs:
routs with high traffic are designed of C30/37 concrete, routs with low traffic are
designed of three layers: first layer made of gravel or break stone with a
thickness 10 cm, second layer made of sharp aggregate with a thickness 3 cm
and third layer made of sorted gravel with a thickness 2 cm. Within the
boundary of the plot there are 18 parking spaces dedicated for cars.

4.4 Networks and utilities


It is planned to connect the building to the power and water supply network
within the existing connections. The drainage of rainwater is designed with the
distribution to the biologically active plot of the project via the V-shaped
concrete drain system. Household wastewater will be discharged through the
designed drains A diesel fueled system is being designed with a capacity of
5000l.

4.5 Other building related elements


Entry is planned in accordance with 4.3. Solid waste collection site was designed
by internal communication, in the northern part of the plot, near the newly
designed entry into the plot - according to the drawing part of the project.

4.6 Terrain
The project does not provide significant changes to the terrain except for the
necessary leveling of the ground as part of the road surface, technological and
building surfaces. The level of ± 0.00 for each object is determined in accordance
with the drawing part of the project.

4.7 Greenery
Approximately 1% of the land area under the management is designed as
biologically active - greenery. No additional high greenery or other trees or
shrubs are planned.

4.8 Fire hydrants


Water for fire protection is provided from two designed hydrants located at
internal communication lines, marked in the graphical part of the site
development project (Figure No. T0468-AR-04-00-0100).

6. Register of monuments and legal protection


The plot and area is not listed in the register of monuments. The property is not
located within the preservation zone nor within its vicinity or other cultural assets.
There are no archaeological sites on the plot.
In the case of discovery of an object suspected of being a monument, it is obligatory
to suspend works that may damage or destroy the monument, than secure the
object and place of the monument discovery using available means and immediately
notify the competent provincial monument conservator and, if that is not possible,
competent mayor.
7. Data describing the mining impact on the plot
The plot is not within mining boundaries.
8. Risks to the environment and the health of users
There are no threats to the environment and the health of users in the designed
facility. In terms of air protection, noise protection, water and sewage management
and waste management, the proposed facility will not have a negative impact on the
environment.
The facility will not generate waste or emit pollution that affects neighboring plots.
Any inconvenience generated by the object will not be felt by users of adjacent
parcels in excess of the limit values specified by the applicable standards. The
proposed investment does not introduce into the air, water, soil or earth an excess
vibration within the meaning of the regulations and is not a source of oversized
artificial semiconductor within the meaning of the provisions. The planned
investment does not affect the quality of the air and maintain levels below the levels
allowed. The planned investment will not change water relations on neighboring
non-investor plots.
9. A way to provide the conditions necessary for the use of persons with disabilities
The office building provides operation and access to the facility by persons with
disabilities - among others: the ramp with the balustrades at the entrance to the
building was designed; the size of the rooms, including toilets and social rooms, was
adjusted to meet the needs of people with reduced mobility. The remaining objects
are not expected to be operated by people with disabilities.

10. Information about the area of the object's impact


The design of the building fulfills the legal requirements, including the natural
illumination of the buildings of neighboring plots - as a result of the necessary

page | 9
The warehouse and drying complex project in Dodoma

distances and the height of the building covered by this project. In addition, the
building does not exclude or partially exclude in terms of location of buildings on
undeveloped neighboring. At the same time, requirements are met to ensure the
time of sun exposure of accommodation in neighboring buildings, and no restrictions
are imposed on the location of new buildings on undeveloped plots. The building
also does not cause any restrictions on the development of neighboring plots. The
area of impact of the facility is therefore entirely located on the plots where it was
designed.

- All work performed in accordance with safety regulations and
building art.
- Construction work should be carried out under constant supervision
of a person who has appropriate building rights in accordance with
the principles of construction and health and safety regulations.
- It is advisable that all work be done under the supervision of the
people with the appropriate authority.
1.15 Accessibility for the persons with disabilities
The office building provides operation and access to the facility by persons with
disabilities - among others: the ramp with the balustrades at the entrance to the
building was designed; the size of the rooms, including toilets and social rooms,
was adjusted to meet the needs of people with reduced mobility. The remaining
objects are not expected to be operated by people with disabilities.

1.16 Conditions of work and use of the building


Work on the object area will be seasonal in the single shift system when filling
and unloading silos. In the off-season, temporary staff servicing is provided
during repairs and periodic maintenance of the equipment and checking the
grain stock..

Fifty seasonal silo workers are expected to stay during the seasonal period. The
work will be done in the open air. Operation of buildings by people is temporary
in the outer coverings. Exceptions are office buildings, intended for permanent
residence of people - the nature of office work. As part of the office buildings,
cloak rooms were provided..

The communication service of the complex will be circular, with the use of heavy
goods vehicles. They will supply and receive grain. Movement will take place
only in daytime.

1.17 Technology
In the planned complex will be storage, internal transport, unloading and loading
of grain.

The facility uses technology including drying and grain cleaning. This allows you
to pick up damp and contaminated grains to bring it to the desired state. The
predicted grain drying technology includes technical solutions to save energy by
20% (compared to other solutions available on the market). Horizontal and

page | 23
The warehouse and drying complex project in Dodoma

vertical conveyor systems and tanks allow you to change your existing grain
handling technology by eliminating human work in dusty conditions and
automating the grain transfer process and enabling operations in all weather
conditions.

The technological line consists of the following elements:

- receiving bucket along with a belt drag conveyor,


- bucket elevator,
- funnel silos,
- cleaner,
- dryer,
- silos,
- and cereal transport equipment between these elements

The starting element of the technology is a receiving bucket along with a belt
drag conveyor through which unloading of the dumpers takes place. This is a
device for the horizontal transport of cereals thanks to the chain blades of the
device. The machine provides a completely maintenance-free ability to receive
grain from transport vehicles. Over the receiving bucket, it is planned to install a
shed 12,3 x 20,3 x 8,07 m in a rear-loading structure for trucks. The shed will be
illuminated with galvanized trapezoidal sheet metal. On both sides of the shed
will be rails for vehicles.

Another device in the technological process is a bucket elevator for vertical


transport of cereals. This allows gravitational charge of equipment such as:
cleaners, dryers, silos, etc. The conveyor is a metal bucket mounted to a rubber
conveyor belt, so called Gurtu.

During the filling process of the storage unit, the funnel silos will be the storage
buffer before the drying and cleaning process.

Cleaner is a device that allows grain segregation in terms of size and species. Its
primary task is to separate the pollutants from grain. The principle of operation
is based on the system of mobile sieves and the gravitational drop of grain
through various sizes holes in the sieves.

Grain dryer is a device for removing moisture from grain to a safe level for long
storage. The principle of operation is based on passing the grain through a
stream of hot air until the natural evaporation of undesired moisture.

In the dryer, it is planned to install cyclonic fans. The device will be located
above the ground. The cyclonic fan is designed to receive air, dust, and any
volatile impurities produced during drying and blown up by the driers. Grain
drying will be done using diesel fuel. The exhaust gases will be mixed inside the
process air dryer and will be drained outwards (vertical outlet direction). Grain
transport systems will be closed systems not allowing air outlet without fans.

Grain silos serve for long-term storage of grain. They are equipped with a grain
ventilation system and temperature monitoring.

page | 24
The warehouse and drying complex project in Dodoma

The connecting elements in the devices are the technological connections in the
form of drainage pipes, tubular bends, fittings, distributors, gate valves,
telescopic braces and others. They enable the devices to be tightly coupled to
each other, guaranteeing a free flow of grain and protection against
atmospheric influences.

It is planned to install::

- 6 silo FSP 17.1 with a capacity of 4721,09 m3 each,


- 1 silo FSS 3.8 with a capacity of 42,33 m3,
- 2 silo FSW 4.8 with a capacity of 72,21 m3 each,
- 1 silo FSW 9.6 with a capacity of 962,75 m3.

The loading of grains from silos to cars will be gravitational through the charging
pipe.

Commissioning and operation of equipment according to the technical


documentation of the equipment manufacturer. The first filling of the new silos
should be carried out uniformly throughout the assembly to achieve even
consolidation of the soil and subsidence of the foundation slab.

1.18 Fire protection conditions


Fire protection conditions are subject to separate documentation.

1.19 Safety of use


Workplace locations where workers are at risk should be marked with visible
colors and / or safety signs in accordance with International Standards. Safety
signs should be placed in line with the line of sight - in the area or in the
immediate vicinity of a particular hazard, and in the case of a general hazard - at
entry into the hazard area.

All bridges, stairs and any places threatened with fall from the height to be
secured with balustrades. Secure any places threatened by moving parts of
machines by covers.

Openings and recesses should be closed with appropriate covers, and if this is
not possible - properly fenced and marked.

Hazardous Locations and Explosion Hazardous Areas are to be labeled in


accordance with applicable regulations and standards.

Hazardous places on crossings that are subject to stumbling, falling or other


impact should be painted with safety colors in accordance with regulations and
standards.

Employees working on electrical and mechanical equipment should be trained in


the field of construction and operation in accordance with the manufacturer's

2.7 Geotechnical conditions of a territory
Based on "National Food Reserve Agency (NFRA) Final report on soil
investigations for the proposed 20,000 MT silos in Dodoma" made by Bureau for
industrial cooperation (BICO) College of Engineering and Technology University
of Dar Es Salaam, it is determined, that under foundation level of facilities, which
are an object of this documentation, combined land-water conditions may be
found. The shallow foundations are possible to design in such conditions.
The geotechnical researches included making seven holes 10,0 - 15,0 m – deep.
The seven boreholes indicate that the ground is generally characterized by a
loose to medium dense top soil of reddish silty SAND to about 1,5 m to 2 m
depth. From 2m to about 4 m depth, the ground gets dense to very dense.
Beneath 4,0 m depth the ground becomes very dense, from cemented SAND to
weathered SANDSTONE ROCK. As such, the ground shows good strength for the
depth from around 2,5 m onwards.
No underground water was detected around working territory. Presented
researches have been made in June. Underground water level can be higher
during rainy season.
The grain size distribution of the tested soil samples shows dominancy of CLAYS
and SILTS for the shallow soils to a depth of around 4 m, followed by silty SANDS
to about 6 m depth, where a highly weathered ROCK was struck.
Regarding to occurrence of earthquakes in this region it is advisable to
considerate dynamic loads during structural design. The recommended level of
construction foundation is between 2,0 and 2,5 m under ground level.
Foundation of silos should be designed as ring-shaped in order to ensure
stability and overturning prevention. In order to reduce the effects of the silty to
clayey soils on the structure, it is recommended that a 30 cm thick compacted
layer of medium to coarse SAND should be placed between the foundation
structure and the native soil. A rigid reinforced concrete foundation/base is
recommended.

The route of the passage – according to the drawing T0468-AR-04-00-0100:
SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
g) Site lighting
In order to do the lighting of the site there should be installed LED lamps
50W on the buildings, supplied with the voltage 230V. Lamps must be
powered by buildings switches and inset of them must be based on twilight
relays and motion sensors.

h) Pumping plant
Designing pumping plant should be supplied with the cable provided from
the buildings switches. Localization of cable line according to site plan.

i) Entry gate
Electric motor of entry gate should be supplied with the cable provided from
the buildings switches. Localization of cable line according to site plan.
4.4 Main fire switch
As fire switch of the object should be used, in the low voltage switch panel of
the transformer station, a switch equipped with the growing striker pin element,
with the rated voltage 230V. In the buildings there should be installed typical fire
safety buttons (properly marked, according to the norms), for turning off the
power supply of the building when danger of fire occurs. Location of the
switches according to the drawing T0468-AR-04-00-0100: SITE DEVELOPMENT
PLAN.
4.5 Protection from electric shocks
As an additional protection from electric shocks there should be used fast
cutting off the circuit, in which the damage has occurred. For realization this
protection there must be used overcurrent protections in receiver switchboards
on individual objects selected individual for every circuit and receiver.
a) Basic supplementary protection from electric shocks
As basic supplementary protection from electric shocks there should be
used residual-current devices RCD, with differential current 30mA.
On the spots, whenever it is possible, the receiving devices should be
supplied with the safety voltage.
b) Overvoltage protection of the object
In order to protect the facilities of the designed object from the results of
lightning or other overvoltage from power grid, it is designed to install
additional lightning arresters type B+C in any low voltage switches and
control cabinets. For the protection purpose, DEHNGuard TN-S produced by
DEHN(according to standards) equipment may be used as an example.
c) Foundation earthings
Foundation earthings of the silos and facilities for the loading and unloading
technology of the object should be made with application of copper flat bar
CU 30x4.
The flat bar should be laid in the foundation ring, on the half of its height.
The flat bar should be fixed to the steel reinforcement of the foundation.
The length of the flat bar laid in the foundation should be minimal 30 m.
The end of the flat bar, with the length of 1,5 m should be taken out of the
foundation, around the designed monitoring connection and then
connected to the steel supporting construction of the silos through a control
clamp or through drilling an opening Φ 10 mm in the flat bar and in the

supporting construction of the silos and connecting it with a steel galvanized


screw M 10.
Foundation earthings of buildings should be also done.
d) Protection earthing
For individual receivers ED and building receivers, earthing protection
system with resistance Ru≤7 Ω must be performed.
For main low voltage switch, earthing protection with resistance Ru≤2,5 Ω
must be performed.

4.6 Lightning protection


Because of the object characteristics (big height of the object and galvanized
steel as construction material) there is a need to make an lightning protection
installation for the object.
For this purpose there should be made an earthing for the object, with the aid of
copper flat bar Cu or aluminum AL, laid in the ground at the depth of 0,6 m
(according to the lightning protection drawings for each object). To the main
earthing there should be connected, through welding, terminations, which
should be finished with control clamps and provided on the walls of the silos or
foundations of the buildings and other structures at the level of 1,2 m from the
ground. Control claims should be connected to the foundation earthings of the
connected objects and the metal constructions of the objects (silos, bucket
elevators, supporting constructions etc.).
All welding places should be protected from the corrosion. Value of resistance
R≤7 Ω.
Because of the construction material of the object (galvanized iron 1,5 mm
thick), there is no need to use horizontal air terminals.
Foundation earthings and protective earthings should be connected to the
lightening protection installation.
For accompanying building, earth protection system must be also performed.
For this purpose there must be performed earthing for every building with the
aid of copper flat bar Cu or aluminum AL, laid in the ground at the depth of 0,6 m.
For main earthing must be joined (by welding) departures ended with control
connectors and bring out on building walls at around 1,5m above base level.
Steel building constructions and foundation grounding must be plugged in
control connectors.
Value of resistance R≤7 Ω.
Due to construction material used on the roofs of buildings (galvanize steel th.
min 1,5mm) there isn’t necessary using horizontal air terminals because metal
sheet have will have the same function.

4.7 Equipotential bondings


Because of the designed construction material of the object – galvanized steel, it
is necessary to make local equipotential bondings.
As equipotential bondings, the earthing of the lightening protection installation
should be used. There is also necessary to make local equipotential bondings
between particular leading elements of the object (for example casing of a belt
drag conveyor – silos), with the aid of stranded wires H0V-K 25mm2, screwed
with the claims with metric thread to the particular elements of the object.
4.8 Conclusions
After finishing the works measuring of anti-shock protection according to the
norms should be done and other planning provisions as well as the provisions of
the energy supply company should be fulfilled.
Only entire design is planning documentation for carrying out the above
mentioned project. Any changes in the realization may be executed only after
prior arrangements and acceptation of the designer.
