Flower Center
The project is to be sited on a very prominent location within the Dubai International Airport premises with its 300 m long principal elevation facing directly onto the busy Sharjah-Dubai highway and accordingly an innovative and striking architectural design has been conceived to reflect the modernity and progressive image of Dubai International Airport.
The centre is to be developed in three phases and the level of automation for processing flower products will be enhanced over 5 to 7 years from a semi-automated system with manual sortation to a fully automated facility.
The centre when fully developed and automated will have a floor area of about 100,000 sqm providing for export chambers and offices apart from product break down and buildup stations and automated sorting areas. The handling capacity of the centre is anticipated to exceed 300,000 metric tones of product throughput per annum. The entire facility (with the exception of offices) will be maintained at an ambient temperature of just 2-4 degrees Centigrade and accordingly.
The total cost for the project for the first two phases is estimated at US$ 50m. The flower centre is scheduled for completion in end of 2005.
