History
ACE Moharram Bakhoum was established in 1950 as a private partnership between Ahmed Moharram and Michel Bakhoum.[2] The first projects executed by the partners was a storage area for printing machines constructed in the basement of a building in Cairo, followed by the design of a pharmacological factory. In the 1950s, the partners made their entry into the field of bridge design, for which they later became widely known.[3] By the 1970s, the company witnessed a regional expansion. In 1970, the first phase of the 6th of October Bridge was opened.[4] This bridge, which is considered the main artery of the Egyptian capital, was the first prestressed concrete bridge to be entirely designed, constructed and the construction supervised by Egyptian firms.[5] ACE Moharram Bakhoum was the designer and construction supervisor.[6] By this time, ACE had been involved in numerous high-profile projects in Egypt and the Middle East region, and the expansion of its activities to include other disciplines was necessary.[6][3] Currently, ACE Moharram Bakhoum is one of the largest engineering offices in Egypt.[7] In 2020, ACE Moharram Bakhoum won the International Project of the Year Award by MEED for the Rod El Farag Cable Stayed Bridge, over the River Nile.[8]
