Mirebalais update: Electricity, concrete, and a giant rock
Posted on Jun 29, 2011
As a part of our ongoing series of weekly updates from the Mirebalais Hospital site, here are some photos taken this week by our construction team:
A view of the whole hospital site as of mid-June. Notice the progress on the second floor.
The stucco work is almost complete inside the Women's Clinic & Community Health Center and the Outpatient Building.
The construction team has begun pouring concrete floors in many rooms of the Women's Clinic & Community Health Building.
The electrical team has begun installing temporary lighting until the permanent electrical supplies arrive on site. These are currently installed in the Community Health building and installation will begin in other buildings soon.
The rainy season continues in Haiti; thankfully, the drainage system is working very well.
Partners In Health frequently uses natural materials--like this boulder--to create a landscaped courtyard with a fountain on the campuses of hospitals and health centers. This rock will be incorporated from the landscaping designs in coming months.
