Hot Metal Road

Internal Rail Network Modular Path

connecTiViTyA world-class transportation infrastructure underpins Kizad’s multimodal connectivity to roads, ports, rail and air networks ensuring easy accessibility to and from the Industrial Zone.

Khalifa Port is being developed to accommodate the largest ships to ensure easy import of bulk raw materials and export of finished goods. An ultra-modern facility, the port is already active; receiving construction cargoes as well as alumina for the Emal smelter at a dedicated berth. Phase 1 will officially open for business in Q4 2012. Following a flexible Masterplan for development, Khalifa Port will be developed in stages and will eventually offer capacity of 15 million TEUs (Twenty- Foot Equivalent Units) and 35 million tonnes bulk and breakbulk cargo.

Meanwhile, the nearby Abu Dhabi International Airport, Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport have a combined air freight capacity of 17 million tonnes per annum.

Within Kizad, innovations such as the Hot Metal Road, designed for moving molten aluminium, and the Modular Path, which allows for the unrestricted movement of ultra large structures, offer significant advantages for tenants. Located in the western side of Area A, the Modular Path has been designed to enable large plant and equipment to be transported directly between Khalifa Port and customers’ sites. The Modular Path is integrated with Abu Dhabi’s highway network to enable the movement of large loads and structures to the City and the throughout the rest of the Emirate.

Roads in and around the Industrial Zone will be international standard dual four-lane highways, and dual three-lane arterial roads for efficient movement of goods and traffic. Interchanges are all constructed with bridges to further facilitate the flow of traffic. The road network links all major cities in the UAE, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

The option of dedicated rail links and marshalling yards within Kizad also exists. Etihad Railway is currently constructing the UAE component of a planned Pan-Arabian rail network linking Yemen, Oman and Saudi Arabia with the European Union and Russia. It offers the opportunity to integrate rail freight facilities into the operating plan of investors’ plants, and Kizad is keen to facilitate such bulk handling capabilities into the Zone’s infrastructure.

ouTsTanding access To global markeTsLocate Kizad on a World map, and the strength of its strategic location immediately becomes clear. Centrally situated between East and West, Abu Dhabi is the ideal location for businesses to tap into huge regional and global markets. Its world central location means businesses in the Industrial Zone can access a market of more than 4.5 billion consumers within four time zones of Abu Dhabi. Europe, Russia, India and Africa are all easily reached while the markets of the Far East Asia, Korea, China and Japan are readily accessible.

Kizad will benefit from excellent access by sea through its ultra modern deepwater seaport, Khalifa Port. Kizad is also directly connected to the markets of the UAE and the Middle East. The Industrial Zone and Khalifa Port have access to the UAE’s excellent highway network which links to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and wider Middle East. Abu Dhabi International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai are both less than 30 minutes away, while the emerging freight and passenger rail networks will link tenants at Kizad to the far corners of the Arabian Peninsula.


low operaTing cosT enVironmenTOne of the major operating costs for industrial companies is utilities which is why Abu Dhabi offers gas, water and electrical power at some of the lowest rates in the world. Furthermore, Kizad can create competitively priced infrastructure solutions tailored to address the specific utilities and logistics needs of major manufacturing projects.

Kizad utilities and services include:— Power — Natural Gas— Telecommunications— Potable Water— Industrial Process Water— Storm Water System— Ground Water System — Combined Wastewater — Sewage Treatment Plant— Treated Sewage Effluent/Irrigation

In addition companies locating to Kizad will enjoy a number of advantages arising from the design of the Masterplan. As Kizad was a greenfield site its designers were able to incorporate a number of innovative features designed to create business and operational efficiencies for tenants. Foremost amongst these is the concept of vertically integrated clusters.

Vertically integrated clustering offers a number of important benefits. Each cluster is focused on a key primary industry, with a number of related midstream and downstream processes located close by. Other suppliers and service companies serving each stage of the value chain will also be encouraged to establish operations in the cluster. Value is created throughout the industry value chain as follows:

— Anchor tenants produce basic materials— Nearby mid-stream producers take the basic materials as feedstock and produce value-added products— Downstream producers also nearby in the cluster produce finished goods using the added value products— Specialist companies providing services and goods to support the companies in the value chain are located close by.

Clustering per se is known to encourage productivity and profitable synergy between supplier and customer businesses. The gathering of collective expertise creates a business environment that fosters Research and Development and the development of skills and talent. Vertically integrated clustering is designed to also create economies of proximity by ensuring efficient supply lines and encouraging timely availability of components and process materials.

Kizad can create competitively priced infrastructure solutions, tailored to address the specific utilities and logistics needs of major manufacturing projects/

As an example the Aluminium Cluster is anchored by Emirates Aluminium (Emal), who will provide their feedstock to a number of users who will add value in the form of casting or forging processes. These in turn will supply tertiary companies with components for further finishing and incorporation into finished products that will then go to the warehousing and logistics businesses for distribution and export. The proximity the cluster brings allows the establishment of Kizad’s Hot Metal Road; a specially constructed roadway that enables the transport and delivery of aluminium in molten form, saving downstream manufacturers the considerable cost of re-melting ingots.

Kizad‘s design includes industry clusters for Aluminium, Steel, Petrochemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Food, Trade and Logistics, Engineered Metal Products, Paper and more. It is expected that these clusters will attract suppliers of specialist industry products as well as supporting industries, further broadening the industry base.

These industries will find Kizad’s land costs very attractive. They have been extensively researched and benchmarked against regional industrial zones to be highly competitive.

Currently in Abu Dhabi individuals and most companies are not subject to tax on their income. Furthermore, foreign companies can opt for the ownership approach at Kizad that best suits their business needs. Here are some examples:

— For companies involved in industrial manufacturing activities, choosing a joint venture with a local company (taking up to 49% ownership) allows them to claim exemption from import duties on raw materials; goods manufactured in this case will be exempt from customs duties when exported to most GCC countries.

— 100% foreign-owned companies can avoid duties on imported goods kept in bonded status in the Industrial Zone and re-exported from the UAE.

Taken together the cost benefits above, ensure that businesses at Kizad are well positioned to be competitive in their industries and to drive growth in Abu Dhabi for the long term.


ease oF doing businessKizad’s world-class infrastructure, transportation and logistics options, as well as its low operating cost environment not only promote business efficiency they also make it easier for you to achieve your business goals. However, at Kizad support for your business starts even before your operations begin.

emergingAs the opening of Khalifa Port and Kizad moves closer by the day, planning for the trade and logistics operations necessary to support industries in the Zone is moving ahead. A Warehouse and Logistics Park is being developed in Kizad’s Area A for logistics units. It comprises pre-built warehouses and leased land plots for occupiers and third party logistics providers to build their own facilities. The idea behind this project is to provide warehouses that meet the requirements of storage, cargo and other logistical operators within Kizad.

Investors will be able to lease land plots ranging in size from 15,000 sq m to 500,000 sq m within the 2.1 sq km Logistics Cluster in Area A.

The total land area allocated for pre-built warehouses is 400,000 sq m. Development of the warehouses is planned in two phases. The first phase will comprise 100,000 sq m of prebuilt warehouses with a mixture of modular units from 1,000 sq m. Each unit will provide for 10% of office content. The warehouses, to be developed will have a design efficiency of 90% and will be fitted with air-conditioned units and loading docks.

An investor planning to build his own warehouse and logistics facility will be granted a long-term Land Agreement; whereas an investor interested in prebuilt facilities, both standard and bespoke, will be entitled to enter a long-term Lease Agreement.

accommodaTing Of course not all industries that seek to take advantage of Kizad’s key benefits; access to markets, low cost utilities and ease of doing business will fit into the clusters described previously. For this reason Kizad has a Mixed Use Cluster which can house businesses from a variety of industries and still offer unprecedented value.

Smaller clusters or industries which Kizad targets under the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, but do not fit the standard vertically integrated cluster definition, may also be placed in the Mixed Use Cluster or close to other customers or suppliers.

The industries which have been identified in this respect so far are as follows:

— Glass— Oilfield Equipment and Supplies— Non Ferrous Metals— High Technology and Clean Technology— Construction Materials and Equipment

local cenTresThese Local Centres are community focused, and will offer a range of ancillary facilities and services to meet the needs of people living within a 2 km radius. There are four Local Centres planned, each with their own mix, which may include a local mosque, general retail facilities and other related amenities.

The Local Centres are positioned at strategic locations within the Industrial Zone, ensuring easy access to key services. Day-to-day services will be within walking distance of most workplaces, thereby reducing the need to use vehicles for short trips within the site.

business parkThe Business Park will be located adjacent to Kizad’s main arterial road, and it is proposed within the Masterplan to provide offices, commercial showrooms, a business hotel, training and research facilities, associated retail and related services.

The Business Park will act as a natural meeting place with well-landscaped surroundings and shaded piazzas for business and socialising.

An ideal place for international and local companies to establish their HQ office buildings, investors have the option to secure a plot of land to build their own premises or then enter into a long term agreement for a planned bespoke building.

Kizad is being developed as a premier regional industry and logistics hub, midway between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The Zone will be a world-class industry production centre that services a wide range of light, medium and heavy industries.

To create a world-class business and manufacturing facility, Kizad is committed to providing outstanding services and infrastructure to support companies and their employees.

disTricT cenTresDesigned to support a population within a 4 km radius, the District Centres will provide a range of facilities and services to meet the daily requirements of people working and living close by.

Development of two large District Centres is planned. Each will have their own distinct characteristics and features to fit alongside their respective industrial operations and land use requirements. A District Centre will typically have a Jumma mosque, medical clinic, civil defense, some associated retail, food and beverage outlets and other related community facilities and services.

land leasing processMaking sure companies find their optimum location within Kizad is of paramount importance. The first step to satisfying this aim is for interested parties to fill out an Industrial Project Application (IPA) or a Logistics Project Application (LPA) form, both of which can be downloaded from www.kizad.com and www.adpc.ae. These two forms differ according to the type of facility or operation the interested party plans to establish.

After completion of the appropriate form, Kizad’s Business Services and Technical Services Teams will review the application. It will then be sent on to the Plot Allocation Committee, which assigns the best plot of land for the applicant’s business. The next stage involves talks between the applicant and Kizad before a final agreement on the venture being established in the Industrial Zone is reached.

The applicant may then opt for a Preliminary Agreement allowing time to complete the required conditions precedent or move on to signing the final agreement. For this purpose, Kizad has developed a bankable instrument that enhances access to third party finance and investment.

The musaTaha agreemenT – a Finance enablerBusiness owners that have completed all stages of the land leasing process are invited to sign a Musataha Agreement. This is a long-term property right agreement that is capable of being registered at the Abu Dhabi Land Registry Department in the name of the investor.

Signing the agreement ensures the investor legally owns all assets developed on their plot of land within Kizad while they reside at the Industrial Zone, and guarantees tenure provided the business operates within the terms of its license. It also acts as a supporting document for securing loans and mortgages related to an investor’s business.

In certain cases, Kizad will enter into direct agreements with an investor’s lenders thereby strengthening the security package an investor is capable of offering for raising capital. Such support is offered to ensure business owners can access the capital for establishing operations in the Industrial Zone and secure long term financial stability.

All companies entering into the Musataha Agreement are subject to Kizad’s rules and regulations, which are in place to establish a safe, efficient and sustainable business environment.

leasehold agreemenTsFor investors who wish to secure agreements to rent or lease buildings a standard long-term lease agreement will be utilised.


saFeguarding The FuTureDelivering an industrial zone that fuels Abu Dhabi’s economic engine and establishes it as a source of pride for the nation is the ultimate objective. In achieving this, however, we are determined to minimise the local environmental impact.

Kizad’s approach involves a Sustainability Plan to integrate sound practices and environmental protection into the Industrial Zone’s operation in order to preserve the quality and integrity of the environment both within and beyond the Zone. Kizad will uphold environmental protection standards by working with all customers to ensure responsible environmental initiatives, technologies, processes and practices are implemented throughout the Industrial Zone.

An integrated waste management system and strategy for the provision of efficient, safe, and commercially profitable waste disposal is planned. The initiative will involve recycling operations and services that are designed to the highest environmental standards, improving the efficiency of municipal, industrial and hazardous waste.

These initiatives are exemplified by the design of Khalifa Port, which won ‘The Environment Protection Award’ in the Seatrade Middle East and Indian Subcontinent Awards 2010. This was awarded for efforts to protect the Ras Ghanada corals and marine ecosystem, and the construction of a US$ 240 million environmental breakwater to further protect marine life. One of a number of awards, this signifies the commitment to environmental stewardship by going far beyond the borders of the Industrial Zone.
