CONSER is continually meeting new challenges and setting new trends in the area. Below are a few case studies where our excellence has more than proven itself.

Case 1 : Durability Concrete During the execution of the prestigious Metropolitan City Center in Lebanon, it became apparent that the massive structure, including the large banquet hall and shape of the building, in relation to the substantial investment being put in by the owner, warranted a long term quality conscious approach in its construction. Whilst the regular standard for the concrete that was being used in Lebanon was sufficient, it lacked certain elements that CONSER felt were necessary for the durability of the project. Added to that, was an acute shortage and price rise in both concrete and steel. The challenge was how we could meet the designed strength and durability of the structure without increasing the costs of construction much further.

At that point in time, CONSER put a team of material experts, headed by our founder Mr. Azmi Haroun, and researched a host of alternatives. The result was a blend of Micro Silica Fumes and Concrete in a certain way that gave sufficient strength coefficient to the concrete with less actual material used.

After successful testing of the mix, in both local and international laboratories, the ensuing concrete formula was published for use with other buildings in the area, and has become a new standard to be used by both consultants and contractors in the area.

Case 2 - Alignment Selection It takes special skill and years of practical experience in a variety of terrains to be able to stand atop a mountain or hill, look down on the unfurling landscape and visualize the way a road will pass. CONSER is proud to have people with such a skill at its helm. Whilst there are many technological aids that have been devised to help in such a task, the human ability to look at a terrain and form a 3D image in ones head seems to always win hands down. Add to that local expertise in terms road usage and an awareness about the amazing developments that are happening in the area, and CONSER becomes the ideal partner to countries that need to develop both its internal and national road networks.

Case 3 - Recharge Dams. Any project that pays a third of its cost back in ONE DAY is a phenomenal one. Such was the case after one day of typical torrential rains in the Northern Emirates of the UAE, where within that location CONSER had 48 Recharge Dams of its design and supervision in place and ready to accept the massive flows of water. After the rain subsided
