Founded
in 1968 by company chairman Mr. Nabih K. El-Khoury, NSCC first opened
its doors for business as a marine contractor specialising in sheet
piles, marinas, jetties and slipways. From the very beginning, NSCC
majored in quality, workmanship, on-time delivery and superior value,
which fuelled the company’s desire to both expand and diversify.
Committed to staying abreast of all of the latest trends and technologies, NSCC was the first to introduce piled foundations to the UAE in the early 1970s through the use of driven piles, precast and cast in-situ, mainly using diesel and drop hammers. And over the last three decades NSCC has continued to evolve to become a regional leader in the design and construction of foundation engineering solutions to the various sectors of the construction industry.
In fact, NSCC’s piles have formed the foundations of some of the most important landmarks in the UAE, with the company utilising the very latest techniques in order to allow it to successfully complete even the most challenging of projects. This includes large watertight retaining walls which, used for the construction of basements in large car parks, employ secant pile and/or contiguous piled walls with ground anchors. |

Always looking to the future, NSCC led the way in the introduction of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) when, in 1996, it was the very first company in the Middle East to utilise this trenchless technology technique. Today, after the installation of no less than 3000 crossings (installing pipes and ducts under roads, canals and rivers), NSCC retains its pre-eminent position as the market leader in this specialist field. In recent years, and to complement our existing business, NSCC has evolved to become a turnkey engineering contractor with an in-house design capability. Serving the foundation engineering industry, this is a vital component in the company’s continued success, and one that differentiates NSCC from our competitors, for, NSCC is not simply a drilling contractor, but rather a foundation engineer with the capability to drill piled foundations and take on turnkey foundation engineering projects. |
