IMRAS Gulf Manufacturing Company has supplied thousands of dollars worth of stainless steel products for the King Hamad University Hospital project – some of which were manufactured to meet the special requirements of the project.
These products included sinks, cold rooms, utility boxes, water coolers, ducting for generator exhaust pipes and access cover panels.

Specially-built stainless steel sinks were produced as per the client’s design and drawings, using AISI 316 L stainless steel sheets and are intended for use in various sections of the hospital. In addition, a total of six cold rooms have been installed for the storage of heat-sensitive products in various parts of the hospital (except for the kitchen). These incorporate Tecumseh condensing units and French-made Frigabohn evaporator units.

Imras has also supplied utility boxes made from AISI 304-grade stainless steel, used for covering electrical joints; bubbler-type water coolers to provide drinking water for the public in various areas inside the hospital; ducting for generator exhaust pipes in AISI 316-grade stainless steel; flanges for various applications in AISI 316 l stainless steel; and access cover panels for different utilities, made with AISI 304-grade stainless steel.

Salman ... at Imras’ helm.

“In total, around BD120,000 ($318,300) worth of products were supplied according to the orders that were completed in June last year (2010),” says Manuel Selva-kumar, the company’s CEO and managing director. “It was a challenge to meet the scheduled deliveries within the short notice period after the approval of final drawings.”

The assignment was handled by engaging additional manpower and hiring machineries from external sources, he adds.
Selvakumar says that once complete, the KHUH will set the benchmark in healthcare in Bahrain.

Selvakumar ... quality focus.

Imras is one of the fast growing indigenous family groups of companies, with a global vision of establishing a household corporate brand in the most viable sectors of Bahrain’s economy.

The company, under the leadership of director Ebrahim Moosa Salman, currently maintains a business presence in the steel and refrigeration industry. Previously operating as a sole proprietorship as Ebrahim Moosa Refrigeration and Air-conditioning, it was later converted to a limited liability company after 25 years in the industry at the turn of the millennium.

The company is managed by a team of highly-skilled professionals. Supporting the management is the board, providing the company with the key corporate governance balance, to formulate the group’s policies and business decisions.

“Our goal is to deliver premium products and services to our clients, driven by professionalism and top quality services ethics, delivered by efficient, well-trained officers of superior knowledge, integrity and service standards,” says Selvakumar.
