Completed design and construction of a complete state-of-the-art laboratory (BSL-2) for COVID19 in the Balkans

In record time, in less than two weeks, Delta Inženjering together with a consortium partner GH Holding and partner companies has completed the design and construction of a complete state-of-the-art laboratory (BSL-2) for COVID19 in the Balkans as part of the Clinical Center of Serbia under the name “Fire Eye“.

Delta Inženjering has been engaged by the Government of the Republic of Serbia, specifically by the Ministry of Health and Minister Zlatibor Lončar, as general designer and contractor of the complete laboratory, which included our company in the project of great importance for the state and the population during the pandemic as the leading engine of all activities from conceptual design to commissioning.

The capacity of the laboratory is 2,000 samples per day, which is equal to the capacity of all other laboratories in Serbia in which samples are currently being tested for the corona virus, what will significantly speed up the diagnosis of the new coronavirus. This laboratory is identical to the Wuhan laboratory.

The project began on March 25, and the deadline was only two weeks for design, delivery and installation of a complete BSL-2 laboratory for coronavirus testing.

The total area of the laboratory is over 700m2.

The project was completed in record time, working hours were 24/7 for two weeks, the multidisciplinary nature of engineers and high-skilled Delta Inženjering workers on all fronts enabled
such facility to be completed within the given deadline, and the curiosity is that under normal conditions this work is contracted for a period of not less than six months.

The laboratory was commissioned upon the arrival of equipment from China, and officially on April 21, 2020.
