Client Overview

ALFAOMEGA: Steering Towards a Distinctive Edge in Pharma Logistics across Greece.

Rapidly evolving, ALFAOMEGA has not only blossomed into a robust pharmaceutical company but also carved its niche as a top-tier logistics firm, ensuring unparalleled customer satisfaction throughout Greece and being hailed as the nation’s premier employer in logistics services.

Understanding the challenge

When ALFAOMEGA entrusted us with their requirements, the magnitude of the undertaking was palpable, driven by a vital deal with a globally renowned pharmaceutical firm. The endeavor involved the safeguarding and storage of precious, sensitive products within an imposingly tight schedule of 10 months.

Primary Hurdles

  • Excavation up to 18 meters due to the site's steep slope, involving the removal of over 190,000 m³ of natural soil.
  • Crafting our strategy and methodology from scratch, owing to the absence of pre-existing studies.
  • Overseeing a contemporaneous 200,000 m² development, thrusting the team into a high-pressure scenario.
  • Adhering to LEED certification standards throughout the development.

Despite these enormous challenges and the significant risk to profit, we pledged our unwavering support to our client.

Innovating Solutions to Triumph over Adversities

In collaboration with renowned consulting firms in Greece, our adept team embraced the pivotal challenge of timely soil excavation and removal. Meticulously analyzing timelines and orchestrating workforce and machinery coordination, the project was delivered punctually.
