Large-scale logistics infrastructure
Between 1990 and 1991, BESIX delivered the extension of the Dubai Cargo Terminal, strengthening the airport’s freight handling capacity and supporting the continued growth of Dubai International Airport.

Project overview

As cargo traffic increased and airport infrastructure expanded, BESIX was entrusted with the extension of the Dubai Cargo Terminal between 1990 and 1991. The project formed part of a broader effort to enhance the airport’s cargo capabilities and support its strategic development. Delivered within a demanding logistics environment, the scheme required the coordination of large-scale facilities, complex systems and carefully planned construction activities on an operational site.
