ACICO building system is a construction method based on load bearing walls using autoclaved aerated concrete products such as blocks, slabs, lintels, and pre-fabricated walls.
ACICO building system can be applied to all buildings such as:

  • Residential Buildings.
  • Industrial buildings.
  • Schools.
  • Hospitals.
  • Police stations.
  • Villas.
  • Hotels & Resorts.
ACICO building system components are classified as pre-fabricated light building material which is engineered and executed by approved contractors under ACICO’s technical supervision. ACICO building system has been applied to a number of private and governmental projects locally and regionally in Qatar, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Oman.


Benefits of ACICO Building System

Short construction time
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:
ACICO building system has significantly lower construction costs than conventional concrete construction which is reflected in the following:

  • Receive projects at earlier dates.
  • Faster return on investment.
  • Low administrative cost due to less execution time.
  • Less amount of construction foundation due to light weighted building material.
  • Less man power.
  • Limited amount of cement and steel in AAC products.

Extension and renovation:
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.


Components of ACICO Building system

Strip footing foundation
This is one of ACICO building system’s advantages which means that every wall is supported with a foundation that spans under the whole wall length, giving it a more solid foundation.

ACICO load bearing walls
ACICO load bearing walls are prefabricated of blocks with special characteristics that differ from traditional blocks used to fill internal and external walls.

ACICO load bearing walls are manufactured with high compressible strength to bear up ACICO re-enforced slabs according to local and international standards of safety engineering.

ACICO Re-enforced Lintels
ACICO re-enforced lintels are designed and manufactured according to ASTM, DIN and international standards. ACICO produces re-enforced lintels in specialized factories for manufacturing re-enforced building material, using new technology that insulates steel with rust resistant material.

ACICO Re-enforced Slabs
ACICO re-enforced slabs are manufactured according to approved thicknesses and lengths in engineering blueprints and architectural designs of residential buildings and special projects. ACICO slabs are designed and manufactured to rest on the ACICO’s pre-fabricated load bearing walls according to local and international (ASTM, DIN) standards.

ACICO re-enforced slabs can be applied in all re-enforced concrete structures and steel structures, increasing productivity on construction sites and lowering construction cost.


Technical features of ACICO building system components

ACICO building system components are manufactured in ACICO industrial factories for AAC. ACICO industrial AAC plants are equipped with high technology production lines that have scientifically proven surpassing quality of traditionally manufactured re-enforced concrete.

Superior thermal insulation
ACICO building system components made of AAC have high thermal insulation properties that allow a more stable temperature inside the house, making you spend less on cooling and heating.

High compressive strength
ACICO building system components are designed and manufactured to bear the load and weight of more than required as a safety and performance measures.

High Fire Resistance
ACICO AAC products used in ACICO building system have excellent fire resistant when comparison to traditional concrete which reaches up to 4 hours.

Light Weight
ACICO building system components are the lightest building material with the same strength and solidity of traditional concrete. This advantage of AAC material allows for better handling flexibility and increases efficiency in the building process which decreases cost and time of construction.
