Dr. Oday Hamoudi Abdullah, the Director of the Department of Construction and Projects, along with the structural consultant for the department, Dr. Wameedh Ghassan, conducted an important visit to the Petroleum and Gas Engineering Department. This visit falls within the framework of cooperation and coordination between the various departments aimed at improving and developing the university's infrastructure.

During this visit, communication was established with the head of the Petroleum and Gas Engineering Department and the administrative assistant of the department to discuss the ongoing works in the department's building for the current year. One of the main focuses during the visit was the inspection of the building's roof to add tanks for the fire suppression system.

This step reflects the management's commitment to developing and improving the working environment and providing safety and security for employees and visitors. Adding tanks to the fire suppression system on the building's roof demonstrates readiness to address any emergency and ensure the safety of employees and property.

At the end of the visit, emphasis was placed on the importance of integrating efforts and effective collaboration between the various departments to ensure the achievement of set goals and continuous infrastructure development. This collaboration reflects the university's collective spirit and its commitment to continuous growth and progress.

Dr. Oday Hamoudi Abdullah, the Department head of Construction and Projects, along with a group of engineers from the department, visited the Computer Science Department. The visit aimed to discuss and evaluate the rehabilitation works in the department's buildings.

An important meeting was held between Mr. Abdullah, the department head, and Assistant Professor Bashar Saadoun, the administrative assistant of the Computer Science Department. During the meeting, details of future rehabilitation works in the buildings and the necessity to improve their condition were discussed. An initial assessment of the buildings was conducted to determine the scope of required works and identify the necessary stages for their implementation.

Agreement was reached on the next stages for rehabilitating the buildings, and the necessary steps to successfully achieve the rehabilitation goals were identified. Emphasis was placed on the importance of continuous collaboration between the teams to ensure the effective implementation of the work according to the established plan.

At the end of the meeting, Mr. Saadoun expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the efforts made by the Department of Construction and Projects staff. The importance of continuous collaboration to achieve the best results and effectively develop the department's infrastructure was emphasized.

Dr. Oday Hamoudi Abdullah, the head of the Department of Construction and Projects, accompanied by the structural consultant, Dr. Wameedh Ghassan, and several engineers from the department, visited the Electrical Engineering Department. The proposed works for implementation inside the department's buildings and annex were discussed during the visit.

Negotiations took place with the administrative assistant of the Electrical Engineering Department regarding the proposed works for implementation within the two buildings. Additionally, a detailed inspection of the available space between the Tigris and Euphrates halls was conducted.

Discussions were held regarding the possibility of adding this space to the department's building and rehabilitating it appropriately. This reflects the department's commitment to developing the infrastructure to better meet the needs of both staff and students.

This step aims to improve the working and learning environment within the department, providing the necessary spaces to achieve the adopted goals, and ensuring a suitable and comfortable environment for both staff and students.

Management and technical teams need to adopt this cooperative and collaborative approach in implementing works and developing infrastructure, as it contributes to enhancing effectiveness and efficiency and improving the quality of services provided to both staff and students alike.

Pest and insect control poses a significant challenge for many buildings, as these insects pose a threat to the infrastructure's integrity and the occupants' comfort. In the interest of preserving infrastructure and providing a safe and healthy environment for employees and visitors, the Department of Construction and Projects has made strenuous efforts to combat termite infestation in the Graduate Studies Building.

Termites are a common pest that causes damage to buildings, deteriorating concrete structures, and compromising building safety. The university administration is committed to taking necessary measures to combat and control the spread of this insect.

The efforts of the Department of Construction and Projects included a comprehensive process to combat termite infestation in the Graduate Studies Building, implementing meticulous plans using the latest methods and techniques in pest control. Through these efforts, termite infestation was addressed, contributing to reducing its spread and minimizing the damage that could affect the public structure.

Additionally, the department undertook rehabilitation efforts to repair the parts of the building damaged by termite infestation. Restoration and repair operations were carried out with precision and high craftsmanship to ensure the restoration of the building's overall structural integrity and safety.

These efforts are part of the university's steadfast policy in preserving its assets and providing a suitable and safe environment for users, reflecting the department's commitment to achieving the highest standards of quality and safety in all its endeavors.

The achievement of the Department of Construction and Projects in combating termite infestation and rehabilitating the Graduate Studies Building exemplifies exemplary efforts to preserve infrastructure and ensure building safety, reflecting the university's commitment to providing a distinguished and safe educational and administrative environment for all members of the university community.
