DHL
DHL facilities in Saudi Arabia for which AZEIDK supplied, installed, tested and commissioned fire protection, alarm and security systems.
About the project
In Saudi Arabia, DHL runs an e-commerce fulfillment network that, according to the company, comprises seven warehouses and offices with about 12,000 m² of space and more than 150 employees. The network links online stores, ERP systems and delivery partners, with full track-and-trace on shipments. AZEIDK has worked on DHL facilities in the Kingdom.
Why fire and life safety matter in a fulfillment centre
Fulfillment warehouses hold a wider and faster-moving mix of goods than traditional ones: clothing, electronics, cosmetics and household items in cartons and plastic packaging, some of them containing lithium batteries. Sorting and packing lines, dispatch areas and constant movement of people and stock add to the risk, and operational pressure rises in peak seasons. A small fire in a packing area can quickly become a full shutdown that delays customer deliveries, so the facility needs early detection and protection suited to varied storage. Security systems also help monitor the flow of shipments and protect stock around the clock.
AZEIDK’s role
AZEIDK supplied, installed, tested and commissioned fire protection, alarm and security systems at the DHL facilities it worked on, in line with the project requirements.
