Starting the use of water sprinklers on the glass tents on the roof within the expansion project of the holy shrine.

The staff of the Engineering Maintenance Department at the Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine has started using water sprinklers installed on the glass tents on the roof of the sanctuary of Aba Al-Fadl Al-Abbas (peace be upon him), dedicated to washing and cleaning works that will be performed periodically and as needed, and these works are a prelude to the inauguration of the project in the coming days after that its works have achieved its final stages.


The Engineering Maintenance Department has allocated staff to oversee these works after they have taken an educational course by the executive company, to train them on how to deal with this equipment, the maintenance methods and how to operate them, as these sprinklers is a part of a large system that includes also the control of other equipment linked to the central control room.

The sprinklers are installed with water pumper that pushes automatically the water through it as needed, the water is pumped from four pumps that were put in the corners of the surface of the roof. Each of them operates using a power of 75 Ampere to pump vigorously water through the sprinklers installed on the base of the glass tent, then the water is drained through surrounding pipes to be discharged to the outside. These drainage pipes are not only for the washing water but also for rain water.
