Eng. Nadia Fouad Al-'Asam, the head of the project's supervising committee, stated to our website: “This project was initiated under the guidance of the Secretary-General, Dr. Haider Al-Shammari, in order to provide new roofed and well serviced areas.
The first phase of the project, the courtyard infrastructure phase, was completed with direct implementation by the KHS Engineering Affairs Department staff in cooperation with the Electromechanical Department staff.
This stage included lighting installation, electric power, security monitoring, communication network, Audio, switchboard systems, water pipes and drinking water systems (RO).
The roofing work on the courtyard's left side was completed. It included the installation of the bases, columns, and beams for the roof's iron structure, as well as the installation of (k-span) panels.
The iron structure of the right side roof is currently being worked on so that the covered area of the courtyard on both sides would be approximately (6,400 m2).”
