Out of its commitment to build high quality buildings and ensure they meet safety requirements, the Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’ is testing the fire-fighting systems installed at the Hamad Medical City Fit-Out project.
Tests and examinations will include generating and pumping harmless smoke, similar to the black smoke that rises during a real fire. The tests aim to examine the fire-fighting systems, smoke detectors and smoke suction systems that take the smoke outside the building. Visitors of the area and passers-by will notice the gases rising from the building during these tests, hence the authority made sure to notify people to avoid any concerns.It is noteworthy to mention that Ashghal coordinated with the Civil Defence Department in this regards.
Tests and examinations will take place on Thursday 17 September 2015 from 8 am to 12 pm at the Hamad Medical City Fit-Out project location and at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Hospital.
