The term "Singapore Integrated Logistics Hub" often refers to a few key, large-scale developments that consolidate logistics functions. The most prominent example known for its innovative, integrated design is the JTC Logistics Hub @ Gul (JLH), developed by JTC Corporation, a Singapore government agency.

Project Description

 

JTC Logistics Hub @ Gul (JLH)

​

JLH is a landmark project in Singapore's Jurong/Tuas area, designed as a highly efficient, multi-storey, multi-tenanted facility to maximize land use and enhance productivity in the logistics sector.

​

• Objective: To intensify land use and overcome land scarcity by integrating multiple logistics functions traditionally housed across different low-rise sites into a single, high-rise building.

• Key Integrated Components:

  • Multi-storey Warehouses: High-specification ramp-up warehouse facilities with modular units.

  • Inland Container Depot (ICD): A dedicated, high-ceiling block designed for efficient container handling operations. This is often cited as the most innovative feature, allowing containers to be moved and stacked within the building.

  • Heavy Vehicle Park: Rooftop and/or dedicated floor space for the parking and stabling of heavy goods vehicles and container chassis.

• Scale and Innovation:

  • The complex features innovative, space-saving design, including one of Singapore's first high-rise container depot facilities.

  • It adopted an advanced Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD) approach, leveraging Building Information Modeling (BIM), automation in pre-cast construction, and digital management systems to achieve higher productivity and accuracy during construction.

  • The total Gross Floor Area is substantial, providing significant capacity for the consolidation of logistics services, which helps reduce transport cycles and enhances operational efficiency for tenants.

  • ​

The project is a showcase of Singapore's commitment to creating next-generation infrastructure to maintain its position as a globally leading logistics and supply chain powerhouse.
