7 October Clinic Benghazi Fit-Out: ADAM Operating Theatre, Forbo Flooring and Medical Doors
The 7 October Clinic Benghazi fit-out by Daar Libya brought together a specialised operating theatre and medical interior finishes throughout the project. The scope included HPL doors, hermetic doors, an ADAM modular operating theatre capsule with its associated components and equipment, Forbo medical flooring, and wall protection systems.
The operating theatre works drew on the experience of ADAM’s team and technical experts. Across the wider clinic, the doors, floors and protective finishes addressed different aspects of everyday use, from movement between rooms to the surfaces exposed to equipment and trolley traffic.

The Operating Theatre at the Centre of the Project
Daar Libya’s scope at 7 October Clinic included an ADAM modular operating theatre capsule, complete with its associated components and equipment, drawing on the manufacturer’s specialist expertise.
A modular capsule brings the room’s enclosure and integrated services into a coordinated design. Walls, ceiling, flooring, doors and equipment connections need to work together, with their relationships considered when establishing the room layout.
ADAM’s SALUS system uses a metal support structure and prefabricated covering panels. Its published specifications describe provision for service routes within the framework, together with a selection of surface materials and accessories to suit different project requirements.
Further information is available in the manufacturer’s ADAM SALUS operating theatre specifications.

How the Capsule Components Work Together
The operating theatre system can be understood through three connected groups:
- Structure and surfaces: the supporting framework, wall panels and junctions with the ceiling and floor.
- Access openings: doors, their connection to the room enclosure and their operating arrangements.
- Services and equipment: connection points and integrated components positioned according to the room layout.
ADAM’s wider system options include sealed lighting, control panels, digital clocks, medical displays and airflow systems. The final selection depends on the approved configuration for each project.
At 7 October Clinic, Daar Libya’s scope covered the capsule and its associated fittings and equipment, supported by ADAM’s experience with the modular system.

ADAM’s Technical Expertise
Specialist knowledge helps connect the design of a modular system with the practical details of its installation. Panel connections, door interfaces, service spaces and the assembly sequence all need to be understood in relation to one another.
ADAM’s team and experts contributed their system knowledge to the operating theatre works at 7 October Clinic. This expertise supported the technical aspects of the room alongside Daar Libya’s work on the wider project.
Coordination is particularly relevant where equipment meets the finished enclosure. Decisions at these interfaces need to account for appearance, installation requirements and subsequent use.
HPL and Hermetic Doors: Different Aspects of Door Specification
Daar Libya’s works included HPL doors and hermetic doors. These terms describe different characteristics of a door.
HPL refers to the surface material, while “hermetic” describes the sealing function. A door’s surface finish alone does not establish its airtightness, and a sealing classification does not necessarily identify its finish.
HPL Doors
HPL doors formed part of the clinic’s interior fit-out. Selecting a suitable door involves considering how its surface, frame and hardware relate to the opening and its intended use.
Practical details include the clear passage width, door swing and handle position, particularly where equipment or service trolleys need to pass through.
Hermetic Doors
The project also included hermetically sealing doors. Their sealing function depends on the coordinated performance of the door leaf, frame, gaskets and operating mechanism, according to the product specification.
Interfaces with the floor and surrounding walls require particular attention. The performance of the complete assembly depends on these installation details as well as the door itself.

Forbo Medical Flooring at 7 October Clinic
Daar Libya provided Forbo medical flooring as part of the clinic’s fit-out.
The flooring connects with other finishes at room boundaries, corridor edges and door openings. Transitions between materials, perimeter details and joints all contribute to the appearance and practicality of the completed installation.
Colour arrangements also influence how the interior is perceived, helping define the visual continuity of circulation areas.
Technical properties vary between Forbo product ranges. Cleaning requirements, resistance characteristics and electrical performance should therefore be checked against the documentation for the specific flooring selected.

Wall Protection Along Circulation Routes
Wall protection systems formed another part of Daar Libya’s work at 7 October Clinic.
These systems address surfaces exposed to contact during the movement of trolleys and equipment or repeated use of circulation areas. Their positioning needs to reflect where that contact is likely to occur.
Protection beside a doorway may have different requirements from protection along a corridor. Installation height, length and end details should therefore be considered in relation to the surrounding space.
The finished appearance also depends on coordination with the wall colour, flooring and door frames. This allows protective elements to form a consistent part of the interior.

Frequently Asked Questions
What work did Daar Libya carry out at 7 October Clinic?
The scope included HPL doors, hermetic doors, an ADAM modular operating theatre capsule with its associated components and equipment, Forbo medical flooring, and wall protection systems.
What role did ADAM’s team and experts play?
The operating theatre works benefited from ADAM’s experience with its modular system, components and technical details.
Were all the doors the same type?
No. The scope included HPL doors and hermetic doors. Their specifications address different requirements, including surface finishes and sealing functions.
Can Daar Libya provide a similar scope for another healthcare project?
A comparable scope can be discussed after reviewing the building layout, intended room uses and equipment requirements. Suitable materials and systems can then be identified for each department.
