An IStructE UAE Regional Group Committee talk (hybrid) by Hussein Saqf Elhait, Director of Structures, Ramboll on the topic “Pushing the limits of Modular Construction in high-rise buildings as a sustainable, path-breaking solution”.


The Middle East currently has the most construction activity in the world. Even though the region has a reputation for fast-tracking projects, less than 1% of high-rise buildings have been built using Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMa) technologies, including Prefabricated Pre¬finished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) technologies. The Middle East has a tremendous opportunity to embrace new ways of building high-rise buildings and embrace the many benefits that come with modern modular construction.


As a partner for sustainable change, Ramboll is currently involved in exciting PPVC projects across the world, including the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and most recently in the UAE. We work closely with the world’s most innovative manufacturers to develop new prefabrication methodologies and systems and are keen to have this technology widely available in the Middle East.


Considering the accelerated efforts taken on ground for the introduction of PPVC to the Middle East market, we’re looking at the dawn of a new era in construction in the region. It’s a chance for all countries in the Middle East to lead in sustainable construction and realise the many long-term benefits of this kind of construction. The opportunities are vast and Ramboll is ready to help lead the way for sustainable change.


If you’d like to know more about PPVC modular construction and how it can improve sustainability, decrease construction time, and increase the quality of your next project, get in touch with Ramboll. We are leading the way with PPVC technologies in the Middle East.
