It is proposed to use an existing warehouse building located in Jebel Ali to create a manufacturing plant, initially, for oral dose pharmaceuticals.
The
existing building consists of a warehouse, a tow floor office building and an
open loading bay.
The
warehouse is divided into three bays by two lines of braced columns. One of the bays is narrower and longer than
the others.
The
product list is not finalised but it is assumed that the facility will
manufacture oral solids and oral liquids.
The
oral solids will be mostly in the form of tablets with a limited number of capsules.
The granulation will be mostly wet granulation with aqueous solvents and
aqueous coating.
The
oral liquids are paediatric syrups.
It is
proposed to use the centre bay of the warehouse building as a warehouse, and to
use the longer and thinner bay as a manufacturing area for oral products. (both
liquids and tablets/ capsules)
The
remaining bay, except for a small portion used for a quality control
laboratory, will remain unused for present.
It will be developed in the future for additional finished forms such as
sterile products.
The
offices will be used for office functions.
The staff numbers suggest that this will have only a limited amount of
spare space on the first floor.
