Dr Ashraf Mansour, Head of Board of Trustees of German University in Cairo ( GUC) had accompanied a host of experts and researchers in civil engineering, management of projects, construction, architecture, urban planning and information technologies, in a tour on the campus to vet the most modern applied experiment made by GUC.
Those experts came to attend the first conference held under title” JIC Smart Cities” on the campus of the university.
The constellation of prominent leading personalities included Maj. Gen. Eng. Mohamed El Assar, Minister of State of Military Production, Eng. Hussein Massoud, Former Minister of Civil Aviation to vet the university’s experiment.
The experiment linked to use cold rolled steel (CRS) in constructing building instead of concrete. The (CRS) saves investment cost along with reducing time and effort over carrying out buildings. It also enables engineers to recycle materials and find solutions to architectural, environmental and constructive solutions.
The (CRS) helps build a house within a very short period like one day only according the volume of the project.
This technology also reduces workforce due to flexibility of the cold rolled steel which it can be changed in design.
This sort of steel is lighter, rigidity and endurance. It has high quality in resisting rust, eroding, all environmental and the other natural factors. A building being used the (CRS) will be ideal in remote areas.
Such a building could be dismantled, transferred safely to a new location to be reshaped easily there.
A skeleton of the CRS has sockets to install electric and pipes of water and sewage to upgrade quality of the building.
Dr. Magdy Mansour, Director of Accreditation and Quality Directorate at GUC, explained that the new experiment is a creative one to carry out a model building by enforcing it by CRS.
He added that method of building is ranked among the most modern, safe and economic in world.
It hasn’t been used sufficiently in Egypt despite it was used in countries like the United States of America (USA) since 70 years.
Dr. Mansour further said that buildings enforced by CRS can heighten to 15 stories to be used in industrial, residence, tourist, commercial activities.
He pointed out that experts used the industrial and technical capabilities to design and carry out that model on-show.
The university has a vision to mix industry and education and provide new technologies for users.
He stressed that the available technologies could be applied by “Framecad system” which is existed in the Applied and Industrial Compound in the university. Also accessories of building such as nails and angles are produced there according the burdens.
The visitors expressed their admiration at that model and its promising opportunities.
