  • One Central DHA Lahore: Smart Flood Mitigation System

    One Central DHA Lahore is rapidly advancing toward completion, setting new benchmarks in urban development through modern master planning and infrastructure standards.

    The project redefines benchmarks by integrating open environment aesthetics, pedestrian-friendly pathways, and advanced utility management.

    One Central DHA Lahore allocates 27 percent of its area to open spaces, complemented by broad walks that promote walkability and ease of movement throughout the site. This physical layout is enhanced by an integrated smart network system designed to modernize community operations and infrastructure oversight.

    What sets One Central DHA Lahore apart is its specialized flood mitigation strategy centered on rainwater harvesting. During development, water management received prioritized attention to protect against monsoon challenges and heavy downpours.

    The flood mitigation mechanism operates through a systematic water harvesting and drainage cycle:

    • 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.
    • Diversion to Harvesting Tank – From the storm drainage lines, collected rainwater is routed directly into an on-site rainwater harvesting storage tank, centralizing excess run-off for controlled management.
    • Power and Pumping Activation – 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 stored water from the harvesting tank.
    • Controlled Water Discharge – The extracted storm water is directed away from the development and discharged into the Rohi Nala / Charrar Drain, efficiently disposing of surplus volumes without burdening 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 for smooth operations under diverse weather conditions.
