The facility also boasts an entire building dedicated to under-bond self storage.
Planning and implementing the logistics of such an enormous project has been a major task, with the structure’s materials being shipped from Steel Storage’s production plant in Singapore in more than a hundred containers, each weighing between 10-20 tonnes. With completion scheduled in ten months, the facility has five separate buildings, with four two-level structures and a high-bay logistics building. Ultimately boasting a staggering 2879 storage units, culminating in a total net lettable area in excess of 30,000 square metres.
Core Construction Company Co was selected to develop the sub terrain works and earthworks, while Steel Storage, who have been working collaboratively with the owners for the last two years, are responsible for the development of the design, construction of the facility, internal fit-out, and implementation of access control and security through its subsidiary partner PTI access control systems.
