Programme: Transport and Transport Infrastructure

The implementation of the current project will lead to the improvement of working conditions through the partial renovation and modernization of the infrastructure of IGIC-BAS, which will contribute to increasing the potential of the institute in the development of innovative activities in the field of green technologies. The main activities for the rehabilitation and modernization of the research infrastructure are related to construction and assembly works for the renovation of laboratories and adjacent areas in the IGIC. The planned renovation and modernization activities are determined depending on the needs and the specific conditions of the individual laboratories. These include the replacement of the main electrical panels, installation of air conditioners in laboratories, renewal of laboratory countertops, sinks, and fireplace walls, and replacement of supply and waste pipes, as well as the doors of the laboratories. Anti-flood sensors will be installed in the laboratories planned for renovation with a view to timely signaling and prevention of flood damage. The existing linoleum flooring in the laboratories will be replaced with a heterogeneous type of flooring with increased fire resistance. The sanitary facilities in the common parts of the laboratories will be renovated. In accordance with the instructions given by the fire protection services, the wall coverings and the cabinets of the parts adjacent to the laboratories falling into the corridors of the institute are to be renovated with non-combustible materials. A complete replacement of the freight elevator in block 11 is planned which will improve the working conditions of all institutes in block 11. The planned activities are expected to contribute to improving the healthy and safe working environment in IGIC-BAS, which is a key element in achieving sustainable working conditions for all scientists, helping to reduce occupational health risks, and improving occupational health and safety standards.
