DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Observations (Uthmaniya DCO):
Site survey was conducted on December 16, 2014 to gather technical
information about the existing air conditioning system at Uthmaniya Digital
Communications Office (DCO) building. The DCO building consists of communication
equipment room, generator room and battery room.
The main cooling for the communication equipment room and the battery room
comes from the duty and standby air conditioning units (AHU1 and AHU2). Both of
AHU1 and AHU2 are located inside the communication equipment room.
In addition to AHU1 and AHU2, there exist two air conditioning units inside the
communication equipment room. These two units are old and obsolete and no longer
in used.
Observations (AlHasa Clinic DCO):
Site survey was conducted on December 22, 2014 to gather technical
information about the existing air conditioning system at AlHasa Clinic Digital
Communications Office (DCO) building. The DCO building consists of communication
equipment room, generator room and battery room.
Findings (Uthmaniya DCO):
Based on the observation during the site survey and analysis performed, the
following are the findings:
1. Indoor temperature measurements were taken during the site survey for the
Communication equipment room and the battery room. The results are as
follows:
a. Communication equipment room: ranging between 72.5 86 degrees F.

b. Battery room: 74 degrees F.

2. Current indoor temperature inside the communication equipment room and
the battery room does not satisfy the temperature requirement of SAES-K-003
and SAES-K-002. The requirement being 72 degrees F for the communication
equipment room and 72.5 degrees F for the battery room.
3. Based on the preliminary calculations and the evaluation of the cooling
capacity of the current air conditioning units, it was found that the current air
conditioning units cannot satisfy the cooling requirement of the building.
4. The main air conditioning units in the DCO (AHU 1 and AHU2) are relatively
newly installed (about 4 years in service).

Findings (AlHasa Clinic DCO):

Based on the observation during the site survey and analysis performed, the
following are the findings:
1. Indoor temperature measurements were taken during the site survey for the
Communication equipment room and the battery room. The results are as
follows:
a. Communication equipment room: ranging between 72.5 86 degrees F.
b. Battery room: 74 degrees F.

PROPOSED ACTION PLAN/RECOMMENDATIONS (Uthmaniya DCO):

1. Since the existing main air conditioning units (AHU 1 and AHU2) are
undersized and no longer able to satisfy the cooling requirements of the
building, it is recommended to add two new air conditioning units (duty and
standby) to satisfy the cooling requirements and to have spare capacity for
future projects.
2. The air conditioning units to be provided should be precision type air
conditioning unit with re heater, humidifier, auto change over, and standard
associated accessories to meet SAES-K-003 standard.
3. Connect all new A/C units to the fire alarm control panel and facility alarm
panel/RTU for remote monitoring.

4. Ensure the new A/C units humidifier piping outlet will be connected to the
potable (sweet) water supply piping and not to the raw water piping.
5. Remove the two old air conditioning units that are no longer in used to make
space for the new units.
6. Perform testing, balancing, and commissioning of the new air conditioning
system.
PROPOSED ACTION PLAN/RECOMMENDATIONS (AlHasa Clinic DCO):

1. Since the existing main air conditioning units (AHU 1 and AHU2) are
undersized

COST ESTMATES (Uthmaniya DCO)

The estimated cost for the engineering design, supply for the materials, construction,
testing and commissioning for the Upgrade of HVAC system at Uthmaniya DCO
building is 410,000 dollars.
Cost Breakdown
Engineering Design 95,000 dollars
Material/Construction Cost. -- 304,000 dollars
PMT Construction Support 11,000 dollars

DESIGN SCOPE OF WORK
