With a legacy dating back to 1990 in Beirut’s real estate development sector, Mouawad Hills project was introduced to the large public. This groundbreaking project not only marks a new chapter in the company’s history but also sets a remarkable precedent for sustainable construction practices in the industry.
Mr. Francois Mouawad, a visionary and Member of the esteemed company, is leading this innovative initiative with a profound commitment to address one of the most pressing global challenges – climate change and its nexus with concrete pollution.
As a Ph.D. Researcher and Civil Engineer, Mouawad’s expertise has paved the way for a paradigm shift in the way we perceive and utilize concrete in construction.
“The time for change is now, and as a responsible contributor to the built environment, we must take bold steps to mitigate our impact on the planet, Concrete has long been a major source of pollution, accounting for a staggering 70% of total global pollution. As a Researcher, my mission is to design sustainable concrete mixes that not only maintain the structural integrity we rely on but also eliminate the detrimental effects on our environment.” He speaks.
“My studies are dedicated to achieving concrete mixes that are not only 100% sustainable but also match the compressive strength of conventional mixes,” he adds.
The heart of Mr. Mouawad’s research lies in crafting concrete blends that incorporate sustainable materials such as Fly Ash and Recycled Concrete. His commitment to merging sustainability with performance is unwavering. This groundbreaking research showcases a visionary approach that demonstrates environmental stewardship need not come at the expense of structural integrity.
With Mr. Francois Mouawad’s leadership, we are setting new benchmarks for sustainable construction that resonate far beyond our immediate endeavors.
