1.10 SCOPE OF PROJECT:
This
project provides, to a satisfactory level, all the facilities that are
needed in the disaster management centre for optimum performance to
manage disaster. There are provisions for effective control, relief and
rescue of disasters by mitigating, preparedness, response and recovery.
The scope of the project is limited to the following;
• The design of the Administrative building
• The clinic
• A staff residential building
• Hanger for helicopter
1.10.1 THE SITE:
This
project involves the design of a Centre that aids for Disaster
Management, thus, due to the amphibiotic nature of its function, the
facility would require a site that enhances the marine and land base
operation, and hence, it is located within the southern section of Port
Harcourt. It can also be accessible through various pedestrian routes
emanating from the neighbouring residential zones. This will be
dutifully respected in the cause of designing.
The site is in close
proximity to the State secretariat, the Nigerian marine base, Trans
Amadi Industrial Layout, Orobum Vimmage (now called Obunabali).
Ogbunabali bound the site on the East, the far North by Trans Amadi
Industrial Layout, to the West by the Amadi flat and old GRA Residential
Quarters and the South by Marine Base.
The exterior element in the site include
• Parking lots
• Sign post
• Main building
• Clinic
• Heliport
• Staff Accommodation
• Power plant.
