The ME work that is often found in mosque buildings is electrical
work consisting of lighting installations (lamp panels, switches, and outlets),
power installations (fans, air conditioner, sound systems, and water pumps),
grounding, lightning rod, etc. Mechanical work consists of installations to
obtain, distribute and store water, as well as installations for water pumps,
sanitation (bathtubs, toilets and tap water), and so on.
God willing, if the design of the Shahada Mosque (Masjid Syahadat)
from the Betterpad-Ray (Benteng Terpadu Raya / Great Integrated Fortress "Mural Wall") model
can be realized then it will pay attention to the mechanical and electrical
work properly and correctly. As a place of worship used by many people, the
process must be right, correct, and pay attention to the safety and comfort of
the worshipers. As a large building for a building complex, the mechanical and
electrical equipment in the mosque must be complete, at least almost all of
those mentioned earlier. However, it is endeavored that mosques do not need to
use air conditioners, enough with fans and with good air circulation
arrangements, especially the design of Shahada Mosque (Masjid Syahadat) in
Betterpad-Ray which is a typical Indonesian architecture.
Electrical installation is a circuit system to deliver electrical
power to lights or other electronic devices to meet human needs. Electrical
installations can be divided into two types, namely electric lighting and
electric power. Electric lighting installations are all installations that are
used to provide electrical power to the lights so that they turn into light.
This lighting installation is divided into two parts, namely installation in
buildings and installations outside the building. Electrical power installation
is an electrical installation that is used to operate electronic equipment such
as household appliances, office equipment, industrial equipment, and others.
For mosques, electrical installations must be considered to support worship
activities. Setting the position of the lamp must be arranged properly so that
it can illuminate all parts of the mosque to the fullest. The position of the
wall fan is also arranged so that it is easy to reach hands. Audio devices such
as microphones are also placed and divided precisely, for example for khutbah,
azan, and so on. Here are some examples that can be applied to the Shahada
mosque at Betterpad-Ray.
In addition to aesthetic factors, technical requirements must be
fulfilled in the series of electrical lighting installations and electrical
power installations.
Ø Safe
for humans, animals and electricity. That is, do not let the electrical circuit
make a large potential accident.
Ø The
material installed must meet quality standards. Usually, the more expensive the
goods are used, the more durable and
good the quality is so that it is safe and comfortable. In comparison,
expensive items are actually "cheaper" than cheap goods, because
cheap ones are easily damaged, are quick to buy again, and are more risky.
Ø The
current conductor (cable) used must
have a diameter that matches the current strength.
Plumbing work as part of mechanical work is supported by equipment
that functions to obtain, enter, and discharge water smoothly so that it can
meet the needs of residents of buildings and buildings to remain durable. The
types of equipment include the following.
Ø Equipment
to get clean water, including water pumps, whether sourced from wells or
springs.
Ø
Equipment to get
hot water.
Equipment for water installations
include pipes. Pipeline materials can be PVC or bone iron pipes for cold water
and copper pipes for hot water. Generally, the type of pipe used is PVC pipe,
both AW type (thick) and D (level below AW type).
The basic requirements of the
material for plumbing needs must be considered properly and correctly, that is,
does not endanger health, does not cause noise, does not cause heat /
radiation, does not damage buildings and equipment, and installs that must be
correct and strong.
The plumbing work system consists of
two systems, namely a horizontal system and a vertical system. Horizontal
system is a pipe system for flowing water in non-storey buildings and vertical
systems is a clean water drainage system with a system up, down, or tilting
that generally used for multi-storey buildings or in hills.
Sanitation work is part of water
installation work. In sanitation work there are tools that are often used by
humans, such as bathtubs, toilets, washbasins, water taps, roof drain, and
septic tanks.
In addition to this work, water
pumps and water reservoirs are things that need attention. In order to save,
the choice of pump type must take into account the suction power of the pump
and its thrust. Pump suction power is the distance between the water level in
the well to the position of the pump. While the thrust of the pump is the
distance between the water pump to the water reservoir or directly to the tap.
Water reservoirs are needed so that there is sufficient water supply even
though the electricity is off. In addition, the use of water reservoir can save
electricity costs because the pump does not turn on/off too often when used.
For mosques, especially the Shahada
mosque design at Betterpad-Ray, water is very important, because it is used for
ablution, washing, bathing, and so on. So, the installation of water must be
well planned, both the quality of the material, the shape of the system, the
amount of equipment, etc. that can provide security and comfort. For a
one-storey mosque, the position of the reservoir (usually) is quite higher than
the height of the building wall. For multi-storey mosques there are two types.
First is the mosque where the position of ablution room and bathroom are only
on the ground floor, while the second floor and / or so on are only for prayer
rooms (usually only in the form of a terrace), the position of the reservoir is
quite higher than the ground floor. Whereas for mosques there are also ablution
places on the second and so on (usually the first floor for the hall, while the
floor above is for prayer), the position of the reservoir must be higher than
the position of the ablution tap in the top position.
This is the article from me.
Hopefully the design of the Shahada Mosque (Masjid Syahadat), which is part of
the Betterpad-Ray (Benteng Terpadu Raya / Great Integrated Fortress) model, can
inspire and be realized. Aamiin.
