This is the standout work done by QRA International in 2017. The client is a hospital located in Doha,Qatar. The environmental test chamber was built in 2017 to provide temperature and humidity control of recovering athletes at various climates. QRA offered a warranty for parts and labour (4 years) and to date, it is functioning exceptionally well.
Problem Scope and Timeline
End November 2016
I went to discuss the requirements and the lead time for the project with the local partner and client. There were numerous challenges. < volume, area, and footprint>
Problems = Challenges.
a) Height limitation of the room where the chamber and control room was to be built. It was 3.8 meters high all in,
b) Structural column just outside the proposed chamber impeding the access of equipment into the chamber.
c) 2 floors (50 m) above was the only area available to house the cooling condenser and piping work had to be laid out from 2 floors above, taking into account the loss of pressure head in the chilled water to the compressor 2 floors below.
d) No cargo lift. The equipment basically needed to be built in strip down panels and man packed 3 stories
e) Lead Time and Components, System Integrators in 4 different locations worldwide.
1. Environmental Chamber : from our factory in DongGuan China
2. CO2 amine scrubbers : from our supplier in Finland, Europe.
3. System Integrator : QRA Int'l based out of Singapore
4. Installation : In Doha Qatar, Middle East

I took up the challenge when the other Chinese competitor pulled out of the project. The clock was ticking and the local contractor had to pay LD charges if the project dragged on beyond middle of 2017.
Were we successful ?
