Project Overview
This 8,000 m² steel-structure logistics warehouse was built for a leading e-commerce company in Jakarta, Indonesia. The facility serves as a regional distribution center with a high-clearance design (12m eave height) to support automated storage systems. The project required seismic design for Grade 8 earthquake zones and enhanced corrosion protection for the tropical coastal climate.
