OREANDA-NEWS. September 29, 2010.  Vnukovo International's new Mail & Cargo Facility has been named best project implementation in the domains of investment and construction.

In the civil engineering milieu of construction, R&D experts, architects, as well as that of investors, the Best Implemented Project in Investment & Construction [2009] Contest is held up to be the most prestigious trade event of the year.The formal awards ceremony held for the tenth time since the Contest's inception, drew the participation of Vladimir Resin, Deputy Mayor of Moscow at the Moscow City Government and top executive in charge of all of Moscow's civil engineering and construction.

More than 80 entities and ventures took part in this year's event, having submitted a total of 73 projects. The Contest itself features 19 different nominations.

The Vnukovo Mail & Cargo Terminal is a multifunctional business center with a two-level air cargo handling and warehousing facility at its core, grossing 56 thousand square meters of floor space. The facility's design parameters and specifications bespeak its true potential: the total warehousing floor space of 13 thousand square meters, storage areas for special types of cargo (DG, valuables, diplomatic shipments, perishables, etc.), cold storage with a variety of temperature regimens. The Terminal's total throughput capacity is an impressive 150 thousand metric tons of cargo a year, translating into 450 tons daily.

Thanks to its high-tech engineering and cargo-handling equipment, the Terminal stands ready to handle any type of air cargo.

Yet another indisputable advantage the facility offers is that of its immediate proximity to both the dedicated cargo AC stands, as well as those on the Vnukovo mainline passenger terminals' ramps, which allows to keep the cargo consignment in-transit and loading/offloading times to a minimum.
