Akkim Logistics Warehouse – Enhancing Industrial Efficiency in Gebze
Located in Gebze, Turkey, the Akkim Logistics Warehouse is a cutting-edge facility tailored to support the growing logistics and storage needs of the region. Spanning a total construction area of 6,250 m², this warehouse has been meticulously designed to optimize both functionality and safety. It includes a 5,200 m² logistics area for storage and operations, complemented by a 500 m² administrative section and an 550 m² open shed, making it a versatile space for industrial use.
The facility's design revolves around the use of prefabricated systems, a construction method that not only speeds up the building process but also ensures higher durability and flexibility. This approach significantly reduces construction time while delivering a robust structure capable of withstanding the demands of a busy logistics operation.
Additionally, the building’s earthquake-resistant design ensures that it meets the latest seismic safety standards, providing a secure environment for both goods and personnel. The roofing and façade materials were selected for their high fire resistance, further enhancing the safety profile of the facility. Special attention was also given to sustainability—the facility features a siphonic rainwater collection system, which enables efficient water management by collecting and directing rainwater to storage systems for reuse.
As the lead project management team, Balans Project Management oversaw every aspect of the construction process, coordinating efforts among various specialists and contractors. Our team ensured that the logistics warehouse was not only built to meet today’s industrial needs but also incorporated advanced safety and operational measures. Throughout the construction phase, high standards of workplace safety were maintained, targeting zero accidents on-site. By focusing on precision and efficiency in every phase of the project, we were able to deliver a modern facility within budget and on schedule.
Key collaborators on the project include leading experts in prefabricated construction systems and industrial engineering, ensuring the structure’s durability and functionality. The combined expertise of the project team allowed us to seamlessly integrate the logistics, administrative, and open storage areas into one cohesive unit that supports both large-scale storage operations and the administrative needs of the facility.
The Akkim Logistics Warehouse was designed to exceed the expectations of our client, Akkim Kimya, a leader in the chemical manufacturing industry.
