Q: Consolis is characterized by excellent experience in pre-stressed and
precast concrete products…How does this matter affect construction and
building field?
A: The two types of pre-stressed and precast concrete have many
advantages; firstly, they save time by 90%. In case of constructing a four-
level building, for example, the building process takes about one year, but it
can be completed within just two months with using precast concrete.
Secondly, the two types of that concrete are related to good quality; as they
are better than the other types in terms of safety and the ability to control
product quality, cut costs and save time, especially as the prices of building
materials, such as rebar and cement, are on the increase. Moreover, when
we use pre-stressed and precast concrete, we can create units with finished
facades, in addition to the ability to install water and electricity lines inside
factories and cast them to be ready for the installation phase of doors,
windows and other accessories.
Q: What are the problems relating to pre-stressed and precast concrete in
Egypt?
A: The problem lies in clients’ culture; as pre-stressed and precast concrete
use is not popularly known among the clients, unlike the clients in Europe
and Gulf countries.
