Jina la Saeed Abdullah Bakhresa litaibuka kila wakati Uwanja wa Lusail wenye uwezo wa kuchukua watu 80,000 huko Doha, ambao ni uwanja mkuu, ukitajwa.
Mhandisi Bakhresa, mmoja wa wafanyakazi wengi wasio wazawa wa Qatar walioajiriwa ili kutoa kile kilichoonekana kama kazi isiyowezekana kwa wakati mmoja, alionesha ujuzi wake wa usimamizi na uhandisi kama Meneja wa Uhandisi wa mradi wa miaka miwili na nusu, ambao pia ni uwanja mkubwa zaidi nchini Qatar, na utatumika katika mechi ya fainali.
Inaelezwa kuwa Uwanja wa Lusail uligharimu dola milioni 767 (Tsh. Trilioni 1.7) kuujenga na utaandaa mechi 10 wakati wote wa Kombe la Dunia, kuanzia Argentina dhidi ya Saudi Arabia Novemba 22.
"Nilijiunga na mradi huo mnamo 2017, na tuliwasilisha kwa wakati unaofaa. Kama meneja, nilipewa jukumu la kupanga na kusimamia kazi zote za uhandisi ili kuwasilisha taarifa na vifaa vya ujenzi vinavyohitajika kwa timu kulingana na vipimo na ratiba inayohitajika, "anasema.
Anaongeza: "Nilikuwa nikiongoza na kusimamia idara ya uhandisi ili kuhakikisha tunatoa taarifa kwa timu za ujenzi kupitia michoro, vifaa, na picha za 3D ili kuhakikisha kuwa tunatimiza ratiba ya ujenzi kama ilivyopangwa."
Akizungumza na The Citizen kutoka makazi yake nchini Uingereza, Bakhressa ambaye hadi hivi karibuni alikuwa Mkurugenzi wa mradi wa ujenzi wa nyumba za majengo Fumba Town Uptown Living Zanzibar, anasema haikuwa kazi rahisi kufikisha mradi wa ukubwa huo kwa wakati.
========================
According to Bakhresa, a nephew of renowned businessman Said Salim Bakhresa, the stadium, which was built by a joint venture of the HBKCRCC (HBK Contracting and China Railway Construction Corporation), will live on in the memories of present and future generations.
“To me, it was an honour and privilege to be part of the team that delivered such an iconic landmark in Qatar that will be remembered by the whole world for a long time to come,” he says with a knowing smile. Despite the fact that the project was delivered to the taste of the contractors and the funders at certain times they had to take calculated risks.
“The design was lagging behind. So we had to take a calculated risk and commence construction before the design was approved, and probably this is where the schedule was won,” says Engineer Bakhresa. But, as the world descends on Qatar for the first winter World Cup, one question has remained unanswered: the issue of human rights violations against migrant workers in the Gulf state.
This, he says, was not what he saw during the construction of Lusail; in fact, he says the migrant workers were their driving force during the entire period of construction.
“To be honest, migrant workers were provided with the best facilities you can ever imagine, from accommodation to food to other facilities such as computers and games,” he says.
Engineer Bakhresa studied secondary education in Kenya before going to Hungary University for a bachelor’s degree and then to Manchester University for a master’s degree. His rich profile includes a stint in Saudi Arabia, where he worked on projects ranging from universities, football stadiums, arenas, and housing complexes with more than 10,000 housing units in 14 different sites across Saudi Arabia.
He has also worked in the United Kingdom for eight years as a young design engineer and is a chartered and registered structural engineer.
As for Lusail Stadium, upon completion of the World Cup on December 18, it will be transformed into a community space with schools, shops, cafés, sporting facilities, and health clinics.
