The existing Cargo Mega Terminal at DXB was nearing capacity and had a low level of automation. BNP was retained to review, compile, and validate the previous analysis results. This required validating the storage master plan, ULD storage staging, as well as the upgrade and expansion requirements for both current and new modules.
Scope of work included the upgrade and expansion of the existing Cargo Mega Terminal (CMT) at Dubai International Airport, increasing the cargo handling capacity of the existing 4 modules to handle the EK Passenger Aircrafts Belly Cargo for an additional 100,000 tons p.a., and upgrading the ASRS inline screening for transit shipments according to the new EU Security Regulation and TSA.
Another module was developed with an additional 300,00 tons p.a. for Emirates Sky Cargo by connecting the older modules and providing a West Cross Dock handling system and a new PCHS bridge connecting Freight Gate 1 with Module E. All these expansions were interconnected with one another physically and digitally, in order to allow system crossover.
BNP analyzed and mapped the current operations at the CMT to recommend upgrades and expansions that align with the latest flight schedule. Several design options were explored, and the chosen solution involved upgrading a large part of the existing facility and adding a new Module I. This module connects to Freight Gate 1 and the West Cross Dock via the FG1-Module E bridge, allowing full integration with the mail, perishables, pharmaceuticals, pallet, and cargo systems.
The system upgrades and expansions contained the following key pieces of equipment:
BNP also assisted in preparing contract documents (including specifications) and evaluating suppliers during the bidding and procurement stages. During execution, BNP performed all site supervision activities including installation, testing, commissioning, handover, and closeout.
