Burj al Salam
On this day, interns ventured to the Burj al Salam, a mixed-use building constructed on Sheikh Zayed Road. The Burj al Salam contains three towers, one a residential building housing 510 apartments, another an office building with 240 shell and core offices, and the third the Sheraton Grand Hotel, which houses 656 rooms. Given the multiple uses of this building, the construction of this building was very complex and required an extensive amount of coordination from Mr. Mazen Hallak, the Project Manager for this project. The visit emphasized the finishes used in the various rooms of the Sheraton Grand Hotel by showing examples of a deluxe suite, executive suite, and presidential suite. Much care was taken in the design and installation of these rooms to ensure that the guests are experiencing the high degree of luxury which Sheraton would like to be synonymous with their brand. For example, the bathtub in the executive suite is oriented faced the television in the next room, and separated from that television by a window with a retractable curtain. A Bose speaker is installed above the bathtub, allowing for guests to enjoy quality television whilst bathing, which is a luxury some of the interns certainly dream of having.
Wastewater Treatment Lecture
In the afternoon, the interns were given a lecture on wastewater treatment by Mrs. Magdalena Hijaz-Ferreira, a Process Engineer at Eagle Electromechanical. This lecture outlined some general information about Eagle Electromechanical, then provided information about what wastewater is, the types of contaminants which can be found in wastewater, and how to treat these contaminants. Solutions such as activated sludge, sequencing batch reactors, and a membrane bioreactor were discussed.
