To improve Air France's import and export operations, the company modernized its existing warehouse to manage three distinct material handling systems for operations. The material handling systems include loading dock scissor lifts, ball and roller decks, and scales. These enhancements allow Air France Cargo to receive freight, build up and knockdown cargo pallets, and stage freight shipping. With existing operations in place, the design-build team strategically planned two phases for Air France to run existing trading operations and minimize disruptions in an occupied space.
