Center of Waste Management - Abu Dhabi implements GPS tracking on Waste Transportation Sector to

track waste from point of origin to treatment and minimize environmental violations

“We are impressed by CATEC efficient, professional manner and

their effective solutions. From their professionalism to their helpful

staff, we confirmed that we've partnered with true leaders” Jamal Jettawi, Project Management Office Director

The Government of Abu Dhabi has set out its commitment to improving

waste management across the Emirate by establishing the Centre of Waste

Management (CWM) in December 2008.

With a fleet size of 6,000+ Vehicles and an objective to have the Emirate of

Abu Dhabi to be recognized as a world leader in sustainable and integrated

waste management, CWM was confronted with the need to track

transportation activities of the following waste types:

Collection & transportation of Non-Hazard waste (Construction, Metal, etc.)

Collection & transportation of Hazard Waste (Medical, Chemical, Toxic, etc.)

Collection & transportation of Garbage & Domestic Waste.

Collection & transportation of Swage Waste.

Collection & transportation of Oil Waste.

CWM decided to implement the fleet management and tracking solution

“ROAM” over the waste transportation sector and managed to overcome

the following challenges:

Identify the point of origin of each waste type to introduce solutions

focused on pre-identified areas.

Minimize the final disposal of waste to landfill by using the waste

hierarchy and innovative practices and technologies.

Minimize contractors’ non-compliance to the contracted collection

operations (Contact Management).

Minimize illegal dumping of waste in non-designated areas and

minimizing pollution and health risks.

Minimize illegal dumping of liquid waste while vehicle is moving.

Avoid inefficient random inspection procedures.
