Building management teams upgrading pools, filtration or plant rooms should have the drainage arrangement reviewed so it matches approved drawings.
Building & Tower Pool Environmental NOC Dubai
Residential and commercial towers with podium or rooftop pools need an environmental NOC from Dubai Municipality’s Environment Department for the pool’s backwash and drainage. The backwash route runs from the plant room down through the building to a pressure-breaking manhole, a gully trap and the building’s existing manhole.

Routing Backwash Through a Building
Tower pools are usually on a podium or roof, far above the drainage connection. The design carries backwash down through the building and then from the filter to a pressure-breaking manhole, through a gully trap and into the building’s existing manhole.
