Old People’s Home in Chinsali District

Project Objective

The Construction of the Old People’s Home in Chinsali District aims to provide a safe, comfortable, and well-equipped facility to support the elderly population. The project is designed to enhance their quality of life by providing modern accommodation, access to essential utilities, and an administrative framework to support their care and management.

Scope of Work

The project entails the construction and completion of multiple buildings and associated infrastructure to ensure a fully functional facility. Below is a detailed breakdown of the scope:

1. Buildings

• Hostels (5 Units):
  Construction of five hostels to accommodate elderly residents, designed with accessibility and comfort as priorities. These will feature bedrooms, communal areas, and other necessary facilities tailored for senior citizens.

• Administration Block:
  This block will house offices for the staff managing the home, meeting rooms, reception areas, and storage spaces for records and supplies. The administration block will serve as the central hub for operational management.

• Staff Housing (4 Units):
  Four houses will be constructed to provide on-site accommodation for essential staff, such as nurses, caregivers, and security personnel. This ensures a quick response to any emergencies and a stable workforce.

• Guard House:
  A security station will be built to accommodate guards, ensuring 24/7 monitoring and safeguarding of the facility.

2. External Works

The project will also involve comprehensive external works to ensure the facility is self-sustaining and secure:

• Water Reticulation System:
  Installation of a water supply and distribution system to meet the daily needs of residents, staff, and operations. This includes laying pipes, building reservoirs, and connecting to municipal or borehole sources.

• Concrete Works:
  Concrete pathways and access roads will be constructed to connect various buildings, providing safe and accessible movement within the facility.

• Perimeter Wall Fence:
  A secure boundary wall will be erected around the property to enhance safety and define the facility’s boundaries. This will include gates for controlled access.

• Plumbing and Electrical Installation:
  Internal plumbing systems will be installed in all buildings for water supply and drainage. Electrical installations will include wiring, fittings, and outlets to ensure the availability of power throughout the facility.

• Septic Tank and Soakaways:
  Construction of septic tanks and soakaways to manage wastewater efficiently. This ensures a hygienic environment, minimizing environmental impact.

• Electrical and Sewer Reticulation Systems:
  Comprehensive installation of electrical reticulation to distribute power to all buildings and external areas. Similarly, a sewer reticulation network will ensure proper wastewater management across the site.

Upon completion, the Old People’s Home in Chinsali District will be a fully operational facility with:

• Adequate and comfortable housing for the elderly.
• On-site staff quarters to ensure effective management and care.
• Robust administrative support to handle day-to-day operations.
• Modern utilities, including water, electricity, and sanitation systems.
• A secure environment with a perimeter wall and guard house for safety.
