Visión general
MATAR has engaged BNP and Middle East architecture and engineering firm Dar Al-Handasah to deliver data analysis, design, simulation, engineering, tendering, and construction support for a new multi-level air cargo terminal (Terminal 2). With the ability to handle 3.3 million tons of cargo per year and covering 85,000 square meters, the new terminal at DOH is set to become one of the top three cargo facilities in the world by capacity.
Project Development
BNP work began with the development of a high-level concept of operations, conceptual building and system design, and an in-depth analysis of existing processes and data, down to each AirWayBill. The initial concepts were evaluated, and a preferred concept was selected for further development
The design was reviewed with the stakeholders and coordinated with the architect/engineer in 3D using BIM.
The project is currently in the procurement and tendering stage.
