Qatar Aerated Concrete Industries Co. W.L.L

General information

Welcome to QATAR ACICO

QATAR ACICO Is registered on 13 November, 2005 upon issuance of its Commercial Registration Number 31621 through Joint Venture (JV) Partnership between Nasser Bin Khaled Al-Thani & Sons (NBKS) and ACICO Industrial Co., Kuwait. The company was envisioned to manufacture, distribute and market Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Non-reinforced Building Materials such as Blocks and Jumbos in different sizes and Reinforced Building Materials such as Wall Panels, Slabs, Lintels and Stairs. QATAR ACICO products are intended to support the requirements of Developers, Contractors, Builders, Consultants, Engineering Companies and more. These products are specially suited for the construction of Towers, Villas, Hospitals, Flats, Schools and other infrastructures. It is the company’s philosophy to build on solid foundations with its business partners. QATAR ACICO produces AAC products to cater the needs of domestic and foreign construction and industrial markets. In a span of almost four (4) years, the company supplied AAC materials to twelve 12 Towers at the Pearl, Qatar and established business partnerships to various sectors in the construction industry.

As far back as the end of the past century, methods were known for making building blocks from the natural raw materials quartz sand and lime. At the turn of the century that method was improved by steam curing.
This, in turn, was the starting point for a further developed building material containing a large proportion of air spaces-aerated concrete. The generic term “aerated concrete”, which was coined a very long time ago, is a concept which no longer does justice to the present ACICO building material, because the gas (hydrogen) generated during the gas-forming process evaporates even before steam-curing.

Benefits of QATAR ACICO Building System

Short construction time:
QATAR ACICO building system achieves project completion in approximately half the time needed in conventional construction. The relatively short time of completion is accomplished due to prefabrication, light weight, and building method.

Low construction cost:
QATAR ACICO building system has significantly lower construction costs than conventional concrete construction which is reflected in the following:
1. Receive projects at earlier dates.
2. Faster return on investment.
3. Low administrative cost due to less execution time.
4. Less amount of construction foundation due to light weighted building material.
5. Less man power.
6. Limited amount of cement and steel in AAC products.

Extension and renovation:
QATAR ACICO building system allows the re-use of building material after dismantling which cannot be achieved in conventional construction. This has been proved through numerous extension projects following first time construction.

QATAR ACICO building system components are classified as Pre-fabricated light building material which is engineered and executed by approved contractors under QATAR ACICO’s technical supervision. QATAR ACICO building system has been applied to a number of private and governmental projects locally and regionally in Qatar, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Oman.
