Aramex Mashreq Warehouse
The Aramex Mashreq Warehouse is divided into three main zones according to the racking system and is separated by two escape tunnels. The warehouse contains a dock levelers system that serves trucks and vans at the same time. The administration is housed in two floors of the building in the middle zone, supported by two separate administrations in each of the other zones. The building for workers and drivers contains a cafeteria and praying room. All areas are temperature controlled and could accommodate future extension. The complex is LEED certified and incorporates various energy efficiency features such as roof insulation and double glazing.
