An engineering decision, not a guess

Every inspection ends with a written report: what we found, the cause, its severity and the proposed solution. It is the basis for your decision, whether or not you build with us.

Our mission and values

We are not a repair contractor. We inspect the structure with engineering test equipment, identify the real cause of the problem in a written technical report, then design the repair or strengthening solution and execute it under the supervision of a team of consulting engineers and specialist technicians, with a documented handover. We work for property owners, commercial facilities, factories and institutions.

About TARMEM

TARMEM for Structural Strengthening is an Egyptian company based in Cairo that brings consulting and specialist execution under one roof for the assessment, repair, strengthening and rehabilitation of structures of all types.

01

TARMEM Engineering Consulting

Inspection and survey of buildings and structures, testing, structural assessment and computer modelling, technical reports, design of repair, strengthening and rehabilitation works, shop drawings and method statements.

02

TARMEM Specialist Execution

A specialist contractor: execution of repair, strengthening and rehabilitation, or design and build, for concrete and steel structures: concrete and steel jacketing, carbon fibre, crack injection, rebar corrosion treatment and shotcrete, by specialist crews supervised by a team of consulting engineers and specialist technicians.

When both arms work on your project, there is a single point of responsibility: the team that diagnosed the problem and designed the fix is the team that supervises its execution. Responsibility is not split between parties, and the budget rests on a real diagnosis rather than an estimate.

Bringing TARMEM onto your project team adds a diagnosis based on measurement and testing to the investigation and design phases, with a proposed solution and a clear budget. In the build phase, our crews work with visible safety procedures every working day, in phases that limit the impact on the facility’s operations.

Our team

A team of consulting engineers and specialist technicians

The team is led by Eng. Saleh Moawad, a civil engineer accredited as a consultant by the Egyptian Engineers Syndicate. Together the team brings more than 20 years of experience in inspection, design, execution and structural project management, and every project is carried out under the supervision of a specialist consulting engineer.

FAQ

Why is the technical inspection paid?

Because it is real engineering work: a consulting team, test equipment and time on site. The fee depends on the location and the type of problem, and is fully credited against the contract value if we carry out the solution.

Why don’t you diagnose from a photo?

A photo shows the symptom, not the cause. Two cracks that look alike in a photo can be one superficial and one structural; only on-site measurement tells them apart.

Is every crack dangerous?

No. Some cracks are only in the plaster, and some point to a problem in the structural element. The inspection tells which, so you neither pay for repairs you don’t need nor postpone ones you do.

What do I receive after the inspection?

A written technical report with our findings, the cause, its severity and the proposed solution. It is the basis for your decision, whether or not you build with us.

Can the work be done without shutting down the facility?

In most cases, yes. We plan the work in phases, or in holidays and night shifts, depending on the facility and what the design allows.

Do you work with the owner’s consultant or contractor?

Yes. We act as the inspection and assessment consultant, as a specialist subcontractor under the project consultant, or both.

Which areas do you cover?

We serve all governorates. The inspection fee depends on the location of the structure, and we schedule the visit after reviewing the nature and size of the request.

What is the smallest job you take on?

We specialise in projects where the work area is 50 m² or more.
