In the bustling city of Abu Dhabi, stands the first-ever grain bunker storage in the region. This project was initiated to store 10,000 metric tonnes of wheat inside the bunker, and IMGS Group was proud to be a part of this groundbreaking endeavour.
IMGS Group, a company specializing in logistics and cargo handling operations, was tasked with building and erecting the bunker as well as filling it with wheat, and maintaining the commodity to its optimal condition as per the Abu Dhabi Agriculture & Food Safety regulations. The team used a 40-metre conveyor system to discharge the wheat from trucks into the bunker efficiently and safely.
One of the main challenges faced during this project was the race against time. The tight deadline to build the bunker, fill it, and cover it with a high-grade tarp before the rain was a cause for concern for the team. And yes — rain does fall in this region!
The enormous amount of dust generated during the loading and unloading of the wheat also posed a challenge that needed to be overcome. Despite these challenges, the IMGS team remained focused and committed to completing the project on time without compromising the quality of the wheat and the safety of its team. The completion of this project marked a significant milestone for IMGS Group and Abu Dhabi as this is the first-grain bunker storage project in the region. This groundbreaking endeavour demonstrated the commitment of IMGS Group to delivering innovative solutions for its clients highlighting its expertise and ability to overcome challenges in a dynamic and everchanging industry.
The success of this project has set the bar high for future projects in Abu Dhabi and beyond.
