The current works will put an end to the conditioning of the old warehouse of the Altadis tobacco company for use as a large logistics center
The aeronautical company can now begin its activity after the action carried out in the first phase of work, which concluded at the beginning of this month
The works include, as in the first phase, the adaptation of pavement, roofs, electrical installations and fire protection, among others.
Zona Franca has also carried out the work of adapting the offices of the annex building, improving access and demolishing part of the perimeter fence between the premises and the old Altadis
The Cádiz Free Trade Zone has already completed the second phase of the adaptation and modernization work of the 13,500 m industrial warehouse at 54%2, located on the land of the old Altadis already incorporated as a tax precinct and which will soon be occupied by the aeronautical company Alestis, which will install a large logistics center there.
During this second phase, which is scheduled to conclude at the end of September, work on the pavement, roofs, electrical and fire protection installations, as well as the completion of platforms and ramps, is being completed.
At the beginning of this month of August, the Consortium completed the first part of the work that it put out to tender in May with the aim of adapting the old warehouse called PPL (League Preparation Plant) for the storage and logistics management of aeronautical elements, both assembled and elementary parts and assemblies.
These works are carried out in two phases in order to make possible the start of Alestis' activity, so this company already has at its disposal a part of the facilities to settle in the Free Trade Zone of Cádiz.
In the first phase, the pavement in the middle of the warehouse has been adapted, part of the flat and inclined roofs have been reconditioned and a platform for truck unloading and another for truck loading and access ramps to the warehouse for truck circulation inside it have been developed, overcoming a 2-meter difference in level. The main structure of the ship has also been treated with fire-resistant paint.
En paralelo a los trabajos en la nave, a cargo de Construcciones Sánchez Domínguez-Sando SA, Zona Franca ha culminado además la adaptación de oficinas en el edificio anexo a la nave, de 300 m2, y la demolición de parte del vallado de separación entre la antigua Altadis y el recinto actual.
Todos estos trabajos suponen una inversión de 1,3 millones de euros por parte de Zona Franca para atraer inversiones al nuevo espacio productivo generado en los terrenos de la antigua tabaquera y que ya conforman el recinto fiscal gaditano, que ha pasado de 330.000 m2 a 486.881 m2 of surface with all the customs and fiscal advantages inherent to the Free Zone.
