TECHNICAL SUBMISSION SPECIFICATIONS
SECTION C – PART 2 PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS
PART 2 - PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS
All work to be executed under this contract shall be carried out in accordance with the Qatar
Construction Specifications latest edition amplified or amended by the following Project
Specifications.
SECTION 1 – GENERAL
1.1 Brief Description of the Work
The works involve the provision of enabling works and excavation of approximately
1,570,000 m3 of material for the basement to three large hospital facilities in the Rumailah
Quarter south district of Hamad Bin Khalifa Medical City (HBKMC) on behalf of Hamad
Medical Corporation (HMC). The hospital facilities comprise; the National Centre for Cancer
Care and Research (NCCCR), the southern phase of a Tertiary Hospital and the Cardiology
Annex which is an expansion of the existing Heart Hospital.
The Rumailah Quarter South zone will require excavation to create a ‘super basement’ below
each of the new hospital facilities. This will be integral with excavation in the Rumailah
Quarter north zone to create a similar basement and by joining both basements a ‘Super
Basement’ will be created, the ‘Rumailah Quarter Super Basement’.
The work for the excavation in the south zone will comprise four phases as shown on
Drawing Ref. RC AH 06-STC-C01-GL-X-C-0416 below. Phase 1, 1A, 2 and 3 form part of
this Contract. Phase 4 will be undertaken by a subsequent contractor.
Phase 1 and 1A involves the excavation and enabling works for the NCCCR and has an
approximate volume excavated material of 570,000 m3. Phase 1 has an excavation to a
Project ID: BA 14/15 C 095 ST C2/1 June 2015

National Centre for Cancer Care and Research – Enabling Works
depth of approximately 20m below existing ground level. Phase 1A is a shallower excavation,
to a depth of approximately 6.5m below existing ground level, which provides space for the
construction of below ground radiation treatment facilities. Access to the site is expected to
be from the east and to the south of the former British Embassy building. This will minimise
disruption to the functioning Rumailah Hospital.
Phase 2 involves the excavation and enabling works for the Cardiology Annex which is to the
west of the Rumailah Quarter and comprises an approximate volume of excavated material
of 200,000m³ to a depth of approximately 20m below existing ground level.
Phase 3 involves the site for the Tertiary Hospital (south). This phase has the largest site
area and volume of excavation which is anticipated to be in the region of 800,000m3 to a
depth of approximately 20 m below existing ground level. This phase is not available until
existing installations can be relocated or made redundant. This site contains the main
substation supplying the existing Rumailah Quarter facilities.
Note that Phase 4 does not form part of this Tender.
The works will include but not be limited to the excavation for basements to the above
facilities including the design and implementation of shoring works wherever required, the
design and implementation of dewatering systems wherever required, disposing of surplus
material as directed and backfilling wherever required. The works also include the temporary
site hoardings for the whole property land perimeter as shown on the attached related
drawings, sign boards, entrances and site facilities. The Contractor shall establish his entry
and exit routes to the sites with the Engineer and shall alter these routes as and when
directed.
Excluded from the works are local excavations for slab thickening below columns at
basement level, sump pits, building foundations without basement and excavations for
footings below column locations at basement level.
Alternative Scheme
An alternative proposal is required for a shallower excavation across phase 1, 2 and 3

(excluding phase 1A) to a depth of approximately 12m below existing ground level. The
scope of this alternative is identical to the base scheme in all respects except one: the
formation level of the completed excavation will be reduced (providing the first two levels of
basement only).
The shoring proposal for this alternative scheme will be simpler and the excavation should be
easier, faster and more economic.
Description of the Site
The site is located within a busy hospital environment on the eastern side of the HBKMC
campus in the Rumailah Quarter south zone and to the South of Rumailah Hospital, adjacent
to the prominent corner of Al Rayyan Road and Al Istiqlal Street. These roads and junctions
are also the subject of a proposed major improved programme. The site Pin Numbers are
21070008 and 21070007.
The site will be the subject of considerable construction works which will necessitate
significant construction phasing and decanting with many interfaces. The minimisation of
disruption to the adjacent hospital facilities is paramount and needs to be carefully

considered by the Contractor. The adjacent hospitals and associated facilities will remain
fully operational throughout the delivery of the project. Safe operation of the adjacent health
service facilities and the health and safety of patients’, hospital staff and the general public
must not be compromised at any stage by the works.
There are a number of planned changes to the road networks inside and outside the site
boundary of HBKMC. The interfaces with the associated road development works need to be
considered by the Contractor in delivering the Enabling Works package for the Rumailah
Quarter South project.
The Contractor will prepare a phased Traffic Management Plan to support their Project Plan.
This will need to acknowledge and support the master Traffic Impact Study being carried out
by HMC’s consultants on the campus as well as similar studies being undertaken on
adjoining sites, including:
 Al Rayyan Road
 Al Istiqlal Street
The Contractor shall be deemed to have visited the site and to have ascertained the
accessibility and nature of the site, local conditions, and the full extent and nature of the
adjacent live hospital environment and functions being carried out on a daily basis. In this
regard the Contractor must be aware that the requirements of the HMC take precedence
over construction related activities. It is therefore essential that environmental factors such as
control of airborne dust, noise and vibration are controlled to within acceptable standards in
accordance with legislation, but also in accordance with the requirements of the HMC.
Safe staff access and egress routes for the public and HMC staff must be clearly defined and
agreed with the Engineer for each phase.

a) Site set up including temporary fencing/hoarding, accommodation including the provision

and maintenance of welfare facilities and sign boards, in accordance with QCS 2014 and the
