Specification-led automated facilities for coastal desert conditions
The strongest fit is a high-automation broiler, layer or breeder facility where cooling water, traceability, energy performance and commissioning are contracted as one coordinated scope.
What decides the purchase
Coastal wet-bulb reduces evaporative cooling benefit despite extreme dry-bulb temperatures, making water treatment and system calculations decisive.
Put this in the RFQ
Require calculations at site wet-bulb, water analysis, energy load, redundancy philosophy, traceability outputs and one accountable commissioning matrix.
Direct answer
A 100,000-bird automated broiler project in United Arab Emirates needs about 4 houses of 25,000 birds (14 m × 123 m each, 6,897 m² total), roughly 2,375 t of feed per year, 92.7 m³ of water per peak day, and an indicative CAPEX of $1.38M – $2.38M. Design conditions used: 46 °C dry-bulb, 30 °C wet-bulb, 12 °C winter minimum.
— Coastal wet-bulb is high despite the desert climate — evaporative cooling is far less effective than in inland Gulf sites.
— Projects are specification-led: automation, traceability and energy performance decide the tender.
— Water treatment and cooling water quality must be engineered up front.
Model the United Arab Emirates project scope
Where is the project located?
Country changes the climate design, cost index and equipment scope.
Indicative CAPEX is $1.38M – $2.38M for an automated closed-house project, about $13.8–$23.8 per bird including a 1.25 landed-cost index for United Arab Emirates. Land, permits, working capital and live birds are excluded. Class-4 estimate, ±30%.
About 4 houses of roughly 25,000 birds each, sized at 14 m × 123 m (1,724 m² per house, 6,897 m² total) at the density this climate supports.
Low humidity (46 °C dry-bulb, 30 °C wet-bulb) makes evaporative cooling highly effective — 15 cm pads sized correctly are usually the single most valuable climate investment.
About 2,375 tonnes of feed per year and 92.7 m³ of water per peak day including cooling demand. Feed storage should cover 5 days of peak consumption.
Grid reliability here is rated good. A generator remains essential for a closed house — ventilation failure becomes life-threatening within minutes.
Qualified commercial projects can be introduced to independent third-party financing partners. Financing is subject to their approval — HatchMatch does not provide credit and does not guarantee approval.
