MAGNA is making significant progress in the construction of the logistics warehouse located at the Lisbon North Logistics Platform in Castanheira do Ribatejo. This ambitious project, promoted by MERLIN Properties and managed by VHM, is distinguished by its commitment to the highest technical, quality, and sustainability standards. The project is scheduled for completion in 2027, although it is expected to be fully operational in 2028.
Currently, the main works underway are:
Earthworks: Completion phase. Indirect foundations: The precast reinforced concrete piles have already been completed, and the pile caps are 70% complete. Structure Prefabricated: It is currently in the assembly phase, with the roof installation scheduled for September 2025.
Soil Improvement: Progress is 35%.
A key technical aspect during construction is the soil improvement using the innovative rigid inclusion technique. This method involves installing high-strength concrete elements that displace the surrounding soil, densifying it and eliminating the need for material extraction. This results in a significant increase in the soil’s bearing capacity and precise control of differential settlement, allowing heavy structures to be built on soft soils. This solution optimizes both costs and execution times compared to traditional deep foundations.
Magna will execute a total of 100,000 m² of the project’s total 122,500 m², integrating 125 loading docks and achieving at least LEED Gold certification. This objective reaffirms our total commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability.
This project consolidates MAGNA as a leading partner in the construction of cutting-edge logistics infrastructure, and we appreciate MERLIN Properties’ confidence in our experience and technical capabilities. –>
