Demonstrated Expertise
CETC has accomplished and executed some noteworthy and quintessential projects. The firm has carried out an upgrade of Fire Alarm, Fire Fighting & Life Safety Systems for eight Sports clubs, wherein each club consisted of more than 30 buildings and Al Jazeera Medial Network English and Arabic Building. The final objective of the project was to secure Qatar Civil Défense (QCDD) inspection of these facilities and obtain approvals. Most of the buildings were more than 20 years old and the client had no record of drawings. CETC studied all the buildings, prepared drawings, and carried out a gap analysis of the existing building & the QCDD requirements. All missing elements to make the buildings safe were identified and upgraded. Ultimately all the buildings were inspected and approved by QCDD successfully. The project was completed without any cost-overruns and well within the project time line, to the best satisfaction of client.
CETC was also entrusted with the establishment of Emergency Response Control Centre (ERCC) in an existing building. The major challenges in this project were to achieve the ergonomic work environment for the operators in case of emergency duties as well as hooking up to live emergency systems. However, at the time of commissioning of the major systems, the dreaded pandemic struck. Consequently, no manufacturer or vendor or supplier was able to visit site and carryout commissioning. CETC improvised and adapted to the changed situation by arranging an online commissioning strategy of live systems, without endangering the client's secure communication network. This was carried out by introducing jump servers enabling the manufacturers to access their systems online.
