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.
There is a balance between function and price. In our first design was more a “middle of the road” approach where we believed the best possible use case would call for a column in the center of the hangar.
On the extreme end, an entire row of columns was introduced.
The final selected option was to move with no columns in the hangar as it allowed for 5 Boeing 777 aircraft at one time. Of course, the models vary in the 777 variant.
The entire project, design and build was scheduled for completion in 18 months. See how we built it here.
