Engineered Wetland in University Teknologi Petronas Core Park

The objective of the project is to design and implement a new wetland which can
provide stable flood mitigation system and balance ecological system. The new design is
based on the combination of wetland, orifices and spillway with the purpose to improve
the existing UTP Core Park wetland. UTP wetland was initially designed for landscaping
purpose. Improvement of the wetland is proposed for the sustainability of the wetland
with suitable flora and fauna to be located in the wetland.
Without any experience on designing a wetland system, the hydraulic calculations,
biological system, and laboratory tests, varied tasks are very challenging to complete.
Information from internet and book and the advice from lecturers are the important
factors that lead to the completion of this project.
The scope of study of this project covers a wide range of engineering and
biological scopes. The engineering scope included in the study covers the existing
wetland design capacity, engineering landscape design, calculation of the orifices sizing,
calculations of pipe culvert, and calculation of spillway sizing. The study also include
ecological scope namely study on flora and fauna and water quality. With this project;
student can understand about the concept and application of wetland design.
In the calculation part, all the important parameters will be discussed in more
detail for better understanding of the design, considerations. A new design will proposed
and the discussion is included in this report to meet the objective of the project
At the end of the report, recommendations were suggested for further
improvement about the new design. The suggestions were made for future improvement
in the design. The whole finding of this project is concluded at the last section as the
conclusion of this thesis.
