The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced completion of main works of Umm Al Seneem Health Centre, implemented by Building Projects Department to serve about 600 patients per day through 40 various medical clinics.
Umm Al Seneem Health Centre is spread in an area of 27,600 square metres and includes a main building of two levels covering all clinics, some annex buildings such as mosque, support services building, guards building, supervisory workers room, MEP maintenance centre, ambulance garage, and 297 parking slots.
Engineer Amal Al Sulaiti from Buildings Projects Department at Ashghal confirmed that Ashghal has accomplished the main works of Umm Al Seneem Health Centre, which sits in a key residential area to serve around 600 patients per day, to be added to the list of health buildings completed by Ashghal in 2021, such as Al Khor Health Centre and South Al Wakra Health Centre.
She added that within the framework of the state’s support for local products, the proportion of local products used in the project will reach about 40 percent, such as iron, steel, electrical and mechanical tools, and glass, among other materials.
Eng Sulaiti said, “The design has considered people with special needs, including provision of signboards with expressive images, Braille script symbols for the blind, suitable washrooms, wide corridors and automatic doors for ease of movement, reception desks with appropriate height, parking lots close to the main entrances and ramps instead of stairs.
“The heritage and local culture are also considered in the design while ensuring its conformity with highest international standards of fire safety and 3-star green buildings sustainability rate. Above all, the engineering design of this health centre has incorporated next generation technologies in the field of medical equipment.”
She added, “The designs of new health centres are in accordance with high standards of quality and safety and standards of Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS), where design and operational considerations were taken to achieve environmental quality of 3-stars in terms of energy saving and preserving environment, including use of solar energy for heating water inside buildings; use of natural lighting by making panoramic openings in the ceilings to allow sunlight entry, contributing to saving electric energy used in lighting, and purifying the place as much as possible; creating a system to rationalise consumption of water inside and outside the building; provision of green spaces for plants and trees in the premises of the building; and environment preservation during the project implementation period.
For his part, Engineering Support Section Head Eng Obaida Al Athba said that all works on the project were implemented in accordance with local specifications and international standards, and the project has achieved more than 2,553,000 manhours without lost time injuries due to Ashghal’s keenness on provision of all safety measures for workers of the project.
