Warehouse HVAC Contractors in Dubai | Case Study: 21,000 SQ.M Logistics Center

Case Study: Transforming a 21,000 SQ.M Warehouse into a Fully Air-Conditioned Space

Client: NTDE (National Trading and Developing Establishment)

Industry: FMCG Distribution & Logistics Project: Integrated National Logistics - Dubai World Central, UAE Project Size: 21,000 sq. meters Height: 22 meters Objective:  Implement a temperature-controlled HVAC solution to maintain a consistent 22°C in a premium logistics center.

Challenge:

NTDE, one of the UAE’s largest FMCG distribution and logistics companies, needed a reliable HVAC contractor in Dubai to help maintain stable temperature conditions for sensitive products—like rice, coffee, chocolates, and beverages. Given the size of the warehouse and the complexity of its operations, the client required an efficient cooling solution that could be implemented with minimal disruption.

The project’s complexity was further heightened by:

• Warehouse Scale: 100 racks, each 12 meters height and 60 meters length

  
  

• Installation Height: Air handling units (AHUs) installed at ground level with ducting reaching up to 14 meters

  
  

• Logistical Constraints: Limited availability of specialized lifting equipment

  
  

• COVID-19 Supply Delays: Difficulty sourcing high-quality HVAC material

  
  

Solution:

BTU Electromechanical Works LLC - best warehouse HVAC Contractor engineered a tailor-made HVAC solution to meet NTDE’s unique requirements. Our approach included:

• Air Handling Units: Installed 50T x 12 AHUs at ground level for optimal performance

  
  

• Ducting System: Implemented G.I ducts (2000 x 1000) running vertically up to 14 meters

  
  

• Fabric Ductwork: Deployed 60 meters of specialized fabric ducts for uniform airflow distribution for each AHU (12 AHU’s) and reduce the load on the roof structure.

• Specialized Equipment: In Dubai, there is only one battery-operated scissor lift capable of reaching 22 meters. Since this is a food-related logistics center, using a diesel-operated scissor lift was not an option.

• Pandemic-Proof Sourcing: Even during the peak of the pandemic, we sourced premium fabric ducts from Wuhan, China to ensure consistent airflow and eliminate hot pockets.
  

Execution & Results:

Despite operational constraints and global supply chain disruptions, BTU Electromechanical Works LLC - best warehouse HVAC Contractor successfully completed the project with precision. The outcome:

• Achieved the Target Temperature of 22°C

  
  

• Enhanced Storage Conditions for Over 100 Global Brands

  
  

• Zero Downtime or Interruption to Ongoing Warehouse Operations

  
  

• Improved Product Integrity and Longevity
