The Ufa Perinatal Medical Center is situated on a plot of land covering an area of 4.22 hectares in the Oktyabrsky District of the city center of Ufa, the Russian Federation. The project undertaken by ENKA is a maternity hospital consisting of a gross construction area of 33,300 m² and has seven floors plus a basement.

The hospital has a total of 95 beds, 51 of which are in the physiology, pregnancy pathology and observation units of the obstetrics center, with the remaining 44 devoted to the rehabilitation, neonatal pathology, gynecology, in vitro fertilization and inpatient units of the neonatal center.

The hospital has an outpatient diagnostic center, laboratory and a physiotherapy center with capacity of 100 patient visits per day for children and 150 patient visits per day for adults.

The hospital was designed as two main blocks: Block A serving as the main medical center and Block B for the administration and the catering facilities. These two blocks are connected by a passage on each floor and designed with a Level-2 fire-resistance classification.

The main challenges of the project were, the reduction of the construction time, in accordance with the Client’s request, in order to complete the project before the winter period and the contractual finish date. The RC structural works and the facade walls were completed using fast track scheduling, which also incorporated demanding night work. A temporary heating system was installed and temporary closing of the outer shell openings of the building was carried out in order to continue the architectural and MEP work under the difficult winter conditions in the Ufa region.

As a result of these measures, the project was completed six months ahead of the scheduled contract date and the hospital was put into operation following the hand over and opening ceremony, which was held on 1 November 2014.

The range of work undertaken by ENKA comprised all the design work, including basic and detailed working design, as well as all procurement, all civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing, medical construction, installation and commissioning work.

As with the previously designed and constructed Lapino Perinatal Medical Center in Moscow, for the same group, construction for Ufa Perinatal Medical Centre included all the civil and structural work, the facade, all architectural finishing, the interior decoration of the main lobbies and spa areas, the mechanical and electrical engineering systems, medical gas system, all weak current systems – including CCTV, security and access control, nurse call, public announcements, fire alarms – building management and control systems, hardscaping and site work.
