The LAU students visit today e-construct offices at the Dubai Internet city. Mr. Jack Kara’a gave us a brief introduction about the company and about the different projects that it works on. He started by introducing to different types of pre-cast concrete, the advantages of using it in long span projects and the detailed procedure to produce such panels and elements. Then he showed some pictures of sites where precast concrete is being placed. One of the most challenging project that e-construct has done was the Sharjah cement coal storage where the span goes up to 50m. Currently, the company is looking forward to work in Qatar in building concrete warehouses of 85m span.
Then Mr. Haitham Abdelkawy gave us also a lecture about the prestressed concrete with all the mechanics involved in tension and compression of the beams and slabs. He covered also in this lecture the pre-tension beams, the hollow concrete slabs, and the post-tension slabs . He showed us also pictures about different projects and sites that the company is doing currently.
After going back to the office, the LAU students continued working on the Midterm report that contains all the sites visited while the SU students were still in India.
