Environmental Systems Construction in Deschapelles, Haiti
Hospital Albert Schweitzer (HAS) was established in Deschapelles, Haiti in 1954 by Dr. and Mrs. William Larimer Mellon. The hospital is currently administered through the Grant Foundation Board of Directors. HAS was conceived, planned and built as a state-of-the art hospital for a tropical region. The environmental support systems of the hospital included: water collection, treatment, storage, and distribution; sanitary sewerage collection system; wastewater treatment; and solid waste incineration. The work planned for the subject project is for rehabilitating and replacing the HAS environmental support systems. Although these systems were well conceived and built in 1954, their typical useful design life is approximately 30 years. The staff has kept the systems operational with maintenance and design changes through the years, but major rehabilitation and replacement is now required for continued support of HAS operations and to protect the health of the staff and of the 600,000 residents of the region. Failing systems (such as the sanitary sewerage and wastewater treatment) currently are adversely affecting the health of the residents due to their impact on surface water sources. This project was initiated in the fall of 1995 with HAS staff members defining the need for the project.
