TMS was commissioned to design, manufacture, and install a complete waste collection system for Al Masa Hotel in the New Administrative Capital, in collaboration with West Cairo Contracting Company. The project was initiated through a direct request from the contractor’s engineering team, who sought a local alternative to systems that were traditionally imported from Dubai or Lebanon. The aim was to provide the hotel with a modern, efficient method of collecting and transferring waste from multiple floors without relying on manual collection by staff.

Upon initial site inspection, the TMS engineering team evaluated a narrow service shaft measuring 1.5m x 1.5m, through which a vertical chute system had to be installed. The system required a stainless-steel pipe running across eight levels in total (five above ground and three below ground). To ensure accuracy and reliability, TMS engineers studied an imported reference system previously supplied to West Cairo, then proceeded to create a full 3D SolidWorks design, including detailed modeling of the shaft, chute sections, and assembly method.

TMS manufactured a prototype chute segment — a 6-meter section, divided into four smaller parts for easy handling and review — and presented it to the project consultant for approval. Once validated, full-scale production commenced using stainless steel (Ø 80 cm, thickness 1.5 mm) with internal and external soundproofing materials to minimize noise from falling waste.

Certain critical components, such as the specialized chute access doors, were sourced from Jebel Ali, UAE, due to the complexity of local fabrication. After receiving the doors, TMS integrated them into the chute by precision-cutting access points into the pipe sections. The system was further equipped with a cleaning module for internal washing, as well as fire alarm and suppression systems for safety compliance.

Finally, the project was completed with the installation of the waste collection bins at the chute base, supporting both manual and automated operation modes. The automated option includes motion-sensor doors that open only for people, ensuring safe and efficient use.

Through this project, TMS demonstrated its ability to localize advanced engineering solutions, reduce dependency on imports, and deliver a tailored waste management system that meets international standards in design, safety, and efficiency.
