Supervised Projects

site supervision for Ain Bordai Center, a multi-storey commercial and office building consisting of six levels, with an approximate floor area of 1,000 m² per level. The project includes an underground shelter, ground-floor commercial shops, and office spaces on the remaining upper floors.

Structural System & Engineering Features

The building incorporates a reinforced concrete structural system designed to provide strength, stability, and durability. The foundation system consists of a reinforced concrete raft foundation (Raft Slab), designed to distribute structural loads safely to the supporting soil.

The underground level is supported by reinforced concrete retaining walls designed to resist lateral earth pressure and provide the required stability and protection for the underground shelter.

The structural system also includes reinforced concrete shear walls specifically designed to resist seismic forces and improve the building’s lateral stability during earthquakes, in accordance with the applicable structural design requirements.

Site Supervision & Engineering Responsibilities

The supervision work involves monitoring the execution of structural elements to ensure compliance with approved structural drawings, technical specifications, and applicable engineering standards. This includes supervising foundation and raft slab works, retaining walls, shear walls, reinforced concrete columns, beams, and floor slabs, while coordinating construction activities and checking reinforcement installation, formwork, concrete placement, and the quality of executed works.

The project requires particular attention to the underground structure, retaining systems, and seismic-resistant structural elements to ensure the required structural performance, safety, and quality throughout construction.

Tatri Project is a mixed-use commercial and residential building located in Ras El Ain, Lebanon, with an approximate total area of 400 m², distributed across four levels. The project combines commercial, office, residential, and storage spaces within a single building, designed to meet functional requirements while ensuring structural safety and durability.

Building Layout

• Basement Floor: Dedicated storage area.

• Ground Floor: Four commercial shops designed to accommodate different business activities.

• First Floor: Office spaces designed for professional and administrative use.

• Second Floor: A residential apartment providing comfortable living spaces.

Engineering Design & Structural System

The project was fully designed across architectural, civil/structural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines to ensure coordinated building systems and efficient functionality.

The structural system consists of reinforced concrete elements supported by a raft foundation (Raft Slab), designed to distribute building loads across the soil. Reinforced concrete retaining walls provide the necessary resistance to lateral earth pressure and stability for the underground level.

Additionally, reinforced concrete shear walls were incorporated into the structural design to enhance the building’s lateral stability and resistance to seismic forces, in accordance with the applicable structural design requirements.

Site Supervision & Execution

The project was executed under our engineering supervision, with oversight of construction activities to ensure compliance with approved architectural and structural drawings, technical specifications, and applicable engineering standards. Supervision included monitoring foundation works, reinforcement installation, formwork, concrete casting, retaining walls, shear walls, and the execution of mechanical and electrical installations.

Particular attention was given to structural quality, coordination between engineering disciplines, and the proper implementation of seismic-resistant structural elements throughout the construction process.
