DP World Duhok

Project details

DP World Duhok is a dry port project located in Iraq that has three phases. Our office was responsible for the start-up phase, where we, as an architecture team, led the effort to assemble and lead an engineer team. The project came with a very specific list of requirements and a specification folder, which we used to create precise and detailed blueprints to guide the construction process. Although we did not physically work on the construction site, we made sure that the designs were detailed enough to ensure a smooth and complication-free process. We also worked closely with DP World's appointed lead engineer to obtain approval for our designs, as well as those of other disciplines, at every step of the project.
