SECURITY FORCES MEDICAL CITY (SFMC)
Jeddah, KSA
The Security Forces Medical City is one of the largest medical investments in the GCC. The total area of the city is almost 2.5 million m2 of which the hospital is nearly 500.000 m2.
​
Airdeck was selected as the lightweight floor system for the hospital building. Flexibility in the project was very important and Airdeck came up with a tailor made drilling protocol to allow future drillings in the hospital building structure.
​
The project is currently under construction and over 350.000 m2 of Airdeck panels will be delivered.
