The Collaboration between the Department of Construction and Projects and the Consulting Office
In the continuous effort to improve infrastructure and provide a suitable work environment, the Department of Construction and Projects, in collaboration with the Consulting Office at the University of Technology, has implemented a project for the rehabilitation of bathroom and service facilities and the Consulting Office’s storage. This project aims to improve vital facilities and enhance the efficiency of space usage within the office.
The rehabilitation project included several stages, including civil and electrical works and improving the health systems and public facilities to ensure a healthy and safe work environment.
The kitchen works included:
• Renovation and renewal of surfaces: Replacing old surfaces with new, bacteria-resistant, easy-to-clean ones.
• Installation of modern ventilation systems: Ensuring proper ventilation and reducing the accumulation of odors and heat.
• Updating tools and equipment: Replacing old devices with modern, energy-efficient, and high-performance ones.
• Improving lighting: Installing energy-efficient LED lighting to ensure sufficient and comfortable illumination.
The bathroom works included:
• Plumbing replacement: Installing new pipes and sanitary fittings to ensure systems operate properly and leak-free.
• Ceramics and flooring renewal: Using high-quality, water-resistant materials to provide a clean and safe environment.
• Improving ventilation systems: Installing modern exhaust fans ensures good ventilation and reduces humidity.
• Installing water-saving units: Using water-efficient fixtures to conserve water resources.
The storage works included:
• Space organization: Enhancing the arrangement of shelves and drawers to ensure optimal space use and ease of access to stored materials.
• Renewing floors and walls: Using moisture and fire-resistant materials to ensure storage safety.
• Improving lighting systems: Installing sufficient and energy-efficient lighting to ensure clear visibility inside the storage.
This fruitful collaboration has led to a significant improvement in the Consulting Office’s facilities, contributing to providing a comfortable and safe work environment for employees. The updated infrastructure also helps in increasing work efficiency and productivity.
This project represents a successful model of collaboration between different departments within the university to achieve the goals of infrastructure improvement and service level enhancement. Through these joint efforts, the university reaffirms its commitment to providing the best conditions for its employees and continuously enhancing the work environment.

Engineering Team Visit to the Annex Building of the Oil and Gas Engineering Department for Roof Rehabilitation
The specialized engineering team from the Construction and Projects Department visited the annex building of the Oil and Gas Engineering Department. The purpose of the visit was to perform a field study, assess the condition of the building’s roof, and propose necessary rehabilitation measures. The visit began with a comprehensive inspection of the roof, during which potential damages and cracks requiring immediate correction were identified. The inspection revealed limited damage in certain areas due to environmental and temporal effects. A comprehensive repair plan for the roof was proposed based on the inspection results. All findings and recommendations were documented in a detailed report to be submitted to the administration for appropriate action. The implementation of the proposed repairs will commence as soon as possible to maintain the safety and efficiency of the building. This visit represents a significant step toward enhancing the work environment and ensuring the safety of the annex building of the Oil and Gas Engineering Department.
