RAS ABU ABOUD STADIUM
Constructed using shipping containers, removable seats and other modular "building blocks", not only will this innovative, 40,000-seat venue have a remarkable design, but it will be entirely dismantled and
repurposed after the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Its parts will be used in other sporting or non-sporting projects, setting a new standard in sustainability and introducing bold new ideas in tournament legacy
planning
DATA CENTER AT QSTP
Data Centre is located at Qatar Science and Technology Park. The Data Centre is a modular type facility with an initial 5 MW data centre and supporting ancillary spaces to be provided with provisions of expanding up
to 20 MW. A set of specifications were provided outlining the requirements for Architectural and other Electromechanical Services.

GAC WAREHOUSE
GAC-Qatar was established in the year 1979 and is one of the key players in the country in integrated shipping and Logistics services. Almost all of the Logistic facilities currently operated by GAC are run within rented/
leased properties. With the advent of the Free Zones in Qatar, GAC has decided to make long term capital investments in Qatar.

This project is a proposal for a Warehouse for GAC at Ras Abu Fontas - Airport Free Zone.

The Objectives were to :

Set up a state of the art Warehousing Facility using the latest available technology in the market.
Sustainability is at the core of GAC’s operations and this has to be reflected in the design of the Facility
Adaptation to changing needs and future expansion strategy
Cost effective and Value centric design.

SITE

The Site is located towards the north periphery of the Qatar Science and Technology Park in Rayyan. The site is accessible from Doha primarily through the Doha Expressway, Al Rayyan Road and further via. secondary roads around Qatar Foundation.
Doha Port, which is the closest Port to the site is at a distance of 15 Km from the site. And, Hamad International Airport is at a distance of 23 Km from the site.
The site vicinity consists of an IT Park, Office Buildings, Residential Villas and Healthcare centre.
.
SITE LINEARITY

The dimensions of the site, namely the width of the site being
only 53m was a challenge during the initial designing stage.
The building footprint had to be designed with a restricted
width so as to accommodate the driveway and truck parking
SITE bays on site. However, the linearity of the site enabled the
building to grow longitudinally.

CONCEPT

The design of the data centre has been developed around a modular concept in which functional modules
or pods can be ‘plugged in’ and duplicated along the site. Each module consists of a number of units
placed together to form a single module.
The pre-fabricated modules would be deployed and assembled on site as and when required thereby
enabling the data centre to keep growing over a period of time.
Each data centre module houses IT Racks as well as Service spaces required for the IT Racks to function
hence making it a fully functional unit.
Each module is divided into two Zones spread across two Levels:
Level 1: IT Racks and cooling units
Level 2: Service Spaces such as the IDF, Power Modules, Mechanical Rooms etc.
