PROJECT STATUS

Amazon build to suit (BTS), Fulfilment Centre for phase one is located in Industrial City of Abu Dhabi (ICAD) which is a free zone dedicated to industrial processes. Spanning across 40 sq. km. ICAD is part of Musaffah, a popular industrial district located in the southwest of Abu Dhabi. The master development is one of the most important economic zones in the UAE housing several factories and a port.
Once soil has been improved and the plot leveled by another contractor, RAQ will begin the execution project for the Amazon fulfillment center. Client targeted time duration for the completion of “Build to Suit (BTS), Fulfilment Centre (FC) Phase 1 – “AUH1” project will be in 14 months (420 days).
The project has been directly commissioned by Amazon USA and is run with their standards.
As always, we plan our project in phases and divide areas in zones for easy deployment of resources.
Erection of steel starts of in Zone 2. We start the erection from the left; this is the absolution center of the entire building.
The steel design of this pavilion, though, not entirely visible to the public eye, is an art form itself. The complexity of manufacturing and aligning thousands of individual pieces that need to align perfectly with one another in order to form that wave pattern you see on the Luxembourg Pavilion at Expo 2020.
The project involved RAQ’s expertise in steel fabrication and erection. The project called for a supply of 550 metric tons of steel with connections. The steel was delivered partly in hot roll and the rest was a pre-engineered building.
One of the most challenging projects executed ever. The steel structure is designed in a way that folds. Imagine a flag being waved rapidly.
