Daar Libya delivered a coordinated range of healthcare fit-out and specialist interior solutions for Al-Bushra Clinic in Libya. The project included modular operating room systems, X-ray radiation shielding, medical flooring, hospital doors, wall protection and healthcare ceiling solutions.

Each system was selected according to the operational requirements of its space, with particular attention to hygiene, durability, cleaning, maintenance and long-term performance.

The Al-Bushra Clinic project demonstrates Daar Libya’s ability to integrate multiple healthcare systems into a complete medical environment rather than treating each product as an isolated component.

Daar Libya’s Scope of Work at Al-Bushra Clinic

The project scope included:

• Modular operating room fit-out solutions
• X-ray room radiation shielding
• Knauf Safeboard wall systems
• Forbo medical flooring
• Hermetic sliding hospital doors
• Lead-lined doors for radiology rooms
• Wall and corner protection systems
• Healthcare ceiling solutions
• Coordination between walls, floors, doors and technical services
• Finishes designed for regular cleaning and maintenance

Modular Operating Room Solutions

Operating theatres are among the most technically demanding areas within a healthcare facility. Their interiors must support effective cleaning, controlled movement and the integration of medical and building services.

For the Al-Bushra Clinic project, Daar Libya implemented a adam SRL modular operating room solution based on coordinated wall panels and specialist interior components.

Modular operating room systems can provide:

• Smooth and easy-to-clean wall surfaces
• Fewer exposed joints and dirt-trapping details
• Improved organisation of medical and technical services
• Durable finishes suitable for demanding environments
• Easier access for future inspection and maintenance
• A clean and professional operating theatre appearance
• Flexibility for future replacement or modification

Unlike conventional decorative finishes, modular systems are developed around the functional requirements of the clinical environment. Wall panels, doors, ceilings, lighting, ventilation and service points must therefore be carefully coordinated during design and installation.

X-Ray Room Protection with Knauf Safeboard

Diagnostic imaging rooms require specialist wall, ceiling, door and opening treatments to reduce the transmission of X-ray radiation into neighbouring areas.

As part of the project, Knauf Safeboard was used as an X-ray shielding solution. Safeboard panels contain barium sulphate and are designed to attenuate X-rays when installed as part of a correctly specified wall or ceiling assembly.

Important benefits of Knauf Safeboard include:

• X-ray attenuation within a drylining system
• Reduced reliance on traditional sheet lead in suitable applications
• Easier handling and installation than some heavy shielding materials
• Integration with wall and ceiling construction
• A suitable surface for interior finishing
• Flexibility around architectural details and service openings

The required level of radiation protection must always be established through project-specific calculations. It depends on factors such as the imaging equipment, radiation energy, room layout, wall construction and the use of adjacent spaces.

Radiation protection also extends beyond the boards themselves. Joints, corners, service penetrations, windows, doors and frames must be treated as part of one continuous shielding envelope.

How Does Knauf Safeboard Protect an X-Ray Room?

Safeboard should not be described as reflecting X-rays back into the room. Instead, its shielding components attenuate the radiation by absorbing and reducing its energy as it passes through the wall assembly.

When the system is correctly designed and installed, the amount of radiation reaching the space outside the room is reduced to the required protective level.

The number of board layers and the complete wall build-up must be determined by an appropriately qualified radiation protection specialist.

Forbo Medical Flooring

Flooring plays an important role in healthcare safety, cleaning and daily movement. Hospitals and clinics require flooring systems that can tolerate frequent traffic, wheeled equipment and regular maintenance.

Forbo flooring solutions were incorporated into the Al-Bushra Clinic fit-out according to the requirements of the different medical spaces.

Depending on the selected product and area, healthcare flooring can provide:

• A durable surface for high-traffic environments
• Easy routine cleaning and maintenance
• Welded joints for a more continuous floor finish
• Compatibility with hospital beds, trolleys and wheeled equipment
• Safety and slip-resistance options for specific areas
• A coordinated selection of colours and finishes
• Specialist solutions for rooms with additional technical requirements

The correct floor should be selected according to the actual use of each space. Traffic levels, cleaning procedures, slip resistance, rolling loads, acoustics and electrical requirements may all influence the final specification.

Hermetic Doors for Controlled Medical Areas

Hermetic doors are designed for medical environments that require controlled airflow and reduced air leakage around the door opening.

When a hermetic sliding door reaches its closed position, its mechanism helps press the door leaf against the frame and sealing system. This creates a tighter closure than a conventional sliding door.

Benefits of hermetic hospital doors include:

• Reduced air leakage around the opening
• Support for controlled clinical environments
• Wide and accessible openings for beds and equipment
• Automatic opening options
• Easy-to-clean surfaces
• Integration with access-control systems
• Vision-panel and safety-sensor options

Hermetic doors are frequently specified for operating theatres, clean areas, laboratories and other controlled medical rooms.

Lead-Lined Doors for X-Ray Rooms

The entrance to an X-ray room must provide protection consistent with the surrounding walls. A gap in the shielding at the doorway could compromise the performance of the complete room.

Lead-lined doors contain an internal radiation-shielding layer. The required lead equivalence is determined by the approved radiation-protection design.

A complete lead-lined door solution may include:

• A shielded door leaf
• A protected frame
• Correct shielding at the wall-to-frame junction
• A lead-lined vision panel when required
• Manual or automatic operation
• Sliding or hinged configurations
• Hermetic performance where required by the room design

The door, frame and adjacent wall shielding must be coordinated as one continuous system.

What Is the Difference Between a Hermetic Door and a Lead-Lined Door?

A hermetic door and a lead-lined door perform different functions.

A hermetic door is primarily designed to create a tight closure and reduce air leakage. A lead-lined door is designed to attenuate radiation at the entrance to an imaging room.

Where a room requires both airflow control and radiation protection, the two functions can be combined within one specialist door assembly.

Hospital Wall and Corner Protection

Hospital corridors, treatment areas and patient rooms are exposed to frequent contact from beds, wheelchairs, trolleys and medical equipment. Without suitable protection, repeated impacts can damage corners, wall finishes and painted surfaces.

Wall-protection systems help to:

• Reduce impact damage
• Protect vulnerable wall corners
• Preserve interior finishes
• Extend the service life of walls
• Reduce repainting and repair requirements
• Provide surfaces suitable for regular cleaning
• Maintain a professional appearance in high-traffic areas

The system may include corner guards, crash rails, wall guards, handrails and protective wall panels. Each component should be positioned according to the type of traffic and equipment used in the area.

Discover more about wall protection systems for hospitals.

Healthcare Ceiling Solutions

Ceilings in healthcare buildings must accommodate lighting, ventilation, fire-safety components and other building services while remaining suitable for the function of the room.

Important factors when selecting a healthcare ceiling include:

• Cleaning and maintenance requirements
• Humidity resistance
• Access to services above the ceiling
• Integration with lighting and ventilation
• Acoustic performance
• Fire-safety requirements
• The level of environmental control required

The ceiling specification for an operating department may differ significantly from the system used in a corridor, waiting area or administrative room. Daar Libya therefore selects ceiling solutions according to the technical requirements of each space.

Coordinating the Complete Healthcare Fit-Out

A successful hospital fit-out depends on how well the different systems work together.

In an X-ray room, the Safeboard wall construction must connect correctly with the lead-lined door, frame, radiation window and protected service penetrations.

In an operating theatre, modular wall panels must be coordinated with hermetic doors, ceilings, ventilation, lighting and medical services.

Medical flooring must also connect correctly with wall finishes and coving details to support cleaning and long-term maintenance.

This integrated approach helps to reduce installation conflicts, improve finish quality and make the completed healthcare environment easier to operate and maintain.

Daar Libya supplied and installed ADAM operating room systems and Forbo medical flooring at Abu Salim Accident Hospital in Tripoli, Libya. The company’s scope covered two areas of the hospital’s interior fit-out: ADAM OT Rooms and flooring from Forbo Flooring Systems.

The project brings together specialist operating room systems and medical flooring within one healthcare facility. Each has its own installation requirements, with coordination needed where the different interior elements meet.

Abu Salim Accident Hospital: Project Overview

• Project: Abu Salim Accident Hospital.
• Location: Tripoli, Libya.
• Sector: Healthcare.
• Contractor for the works described: Daar Libya.
• Operating room systems: ADAM, Italy.
• Medical flooring: Forbo Flooring Systems.
• Scope: Supply and installation of operating room systems and medical flooring.

ADAM Operating Rooms at Abu Salim Accident Hospital

Daar Libya’s work at Abu Salim Accident Hospital included the supply and installation of operating room systems from the Italian company ADAM. This formed a principal part of the company’s contribution to the hospital, alongside the Forbo flooring installation.

ADAM provides modular solutions for operating rooms. These systems allow the room’s interior components to be considered together, with the final configuration determined by the layout, service requirements and specifications of each project.

Planning an operating room installation requires a clear understanding of the supply and installation scope, including its relationship with equipment and other building services. The project documents remain the reference for the components and technical specifications of the installed rooms.

Understanding the OT Capsule System Concept

The operating room capsule concept presents the room as a coordinated interior enclosure. It helps explain how the structural framework, wall panels, ceiling and floor relate to one another within the surgical space.

A capsule illustration does not mean that every operating room arrives as a single finished unit. Supply, assembly and installation methods depend on the selected system and the conditions of the building.

When planning a modular room, considerations include room dimensions, access points, equipment positions, service routes and maintenance access. The project’s drawings and specifications determine how these requirements are addressed in the actual installation.

Forbo Medical Flooring at Abu Salim Accident Hospital

Alongside the ADAM operating room systems, Daar Libya supplied and installed Forbo medical flooring within Abu Salim Accident Hospital.

Flooring is a daily-use surface in a healthcare facility. Selecting an appropriate system involves considering the function of the space, pedestrian and equipment movement, cleaning requirements, maintenance and the condition of the underlying surface.

Forbo offers different flooring products with different compositions, characteristics and applications. Technical properties, installation instructions and maintenance guidance must therefore be checked for the particular product selected, rather than assumed to apply across the entire range.

Forbo flooring represents one of the two areas of Daar Libya’s work documented in this project, together with the Italian operating room systems.

Coordinating Operating Room Systems and Flooring

The Abu Salim project brings together two areas of interior fit-out, with interfaces that require coordination between the room systems and flooring.

When planning similar installations, relevant details include floor levels, floor-to-wall junctions, transitions at doorways and the sequence of installation work. Defining these interfaces helps clarify responsibilities and the relationship between each part of the scope.

Daar Libya’s contribution to Abu Salim Accident Hospital demonstrates a specific area of its healthcare project experience: supplying and installing ADAM operating room systems and Forbo medical flooring within a hospital in Tripoli.
