Construction of a Cargo Import Hall for Project "Phoenix" - Gerry's Dnata Import Warehouse

Executed a state-of-the-art Cargo Import Hall, a 72,000 sq. ft. pre-engineered building with a curved roof for advanced storage and retrieval systems.

Overview

AMCORP executed the construction of the Cargo Import Hall for Project "Phoenix" at Jinnah International Airport, Karachi, for Gerry's dnata. The facility was designed to house a state-of-the-art Automated Storage & Retrieval System (ASRS), requiring specialised integration.

The core structure was a 72,000 sq. ft. pre-engineered building. It is notable for being one of the very few pre-engineered buildings in Pakistan with a curved roof, requiring specialised precision and installation skills to meet international standards.

Specialised Pre-Engineered Structure

The Gerry's Dnata Import Warehouse project involved the construction of a substantial 72,000 sq. ft. pre-engineered building. This structural choice reflected the need for rapid deployment and modern construction standards. The building was designed specifically to accommodate advanced storage operations, namely the Automated Storage & Retrieval System (ASRS) facility.

A major technical distinction of this project was the roof design. The structure features a curved roof, marking it as one of the very few pre-engineered buildings in Pakistan with this characteristic. Executing this curved roof required specialised precision and high-end installation skills to ensure its structural integrity and aesthetic alignment.

Advanced Systems Integration

The scope of the project was comprehensive, extending beyond just the civil structure. It included both the execution of the main structural shell and the essential integration of advanced operational systems. This involved preparing the facility for the high-tech cargo handling equipment required by the ASRS system. Meticulous attention was paid to the civil tolerances required for the automated machinery.

Delivering this facility, which is a key component of national infrastructure, demonstrated AMCORP's ability to handle complex, technically demanding projects. The successful completion affirmed AMCORP's capacity to deliver projects that demand precision and adherence to strict international standards for cargo logistics.

Infrastructure Hub and Portfolio Growth

The construction was successfully completed at the Jinnah International Airport, Karachi, a major national infrastructure hub. This location underscores the importance and sensitivity of the project.

By successfully delivering this advanced cargo warehouse, AMCORP significantly bolstered its portfolio in the industrial and facilities sector. The unique technical elements, particularly the pre-engineered curved roof, solidified AMCORP's reputation for innovative construction and its ability to execute specialised structural solutions. The warehouse was completed between 2016-2019.
