1). Sanjay Gandhi Institute of Trauma & Orthopaedics

View of the Alternative Exit

It is a well equipped Government Institute catering for the emergency cases & Accidental traumas. Located somewhat near NIMHANS Hospital, even this lies in the core of the city. Trauma Care centers lie b/w Hospital/ Clinic & a Multispeciality hospital (the major diff. being that they are approached only for the Traumatic & accidental cases which require immediate care & attention)

2) Mianyuta Accident & Trauma care center @ Bangalore

View of the main entrance

Mianyuta is a Private Trauma & accidental care center located in the strategic point of the Blore city i.e. near the Banashankari Bus stand Owned By Dr. Ravindra Shetty, it is one of the module or prototyped Trauma care centers. Hence, it is located besides a petrol pump & Near the main bus stand of Banashankari. This is what places it very near to the main road & increases the accessibility. This in turn makes the man power available for any emergency conditions

Design requirements of the Open air system

Being a service oriented requirement this unit demanded a large chunk of open space, almost 1/3rd of the entire site The Stevenson apparatus had to be placed necessarily in the breezy area @ specific height 3 various kinds Rain gauge systems demanded an unobstructed open area so as to allow water seepage through them in order to measure the rainfall. An evaporimeter requires timely maintenance & change of water which is supplied through U.G lines An automatic weather station is about 8-10 m high apparatus which again needs an unobstructed open area in order to properly establish communication with the satellite

All the data collected from the Open Air System is collected & is used for weather forecasting after bypassing the data to the regional OFFICE.
