Carron + Walsh are currently completing tender documents on the first phase of the project to establish a new Free Economic Zone in Alat, Azerbaijan (www.afez.az) which will facilitate the establishment of this commercial bridge between Europe and Asia as a major distribution hub and value-added investment location in Eurasia.

This project includes works on three large sites designed to diversify and stimulate economic growth in the region by attracting new value-added and manufacturing activities including Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Alat is located south of the Capital City Baku on the Caspian Sea. Carron + Walsh has been working in conjunction with the wider design team lead by Garland Consulting Engineers throughout the development of the Masterplan which involves development of the three sites with a total area in the region of 850Ha to provide complete site infrastructure, a number of office buildings, the construction of new bridges over existing state highways and incorporation of the existing national rail network into one of the sites.
