  • Four decades, five pillars: MAB becomes ASSIST

    In 1985, Prof. Dr. Mahmoud Abdel Fattah Mahmoud opened a consulting office in Alexandria for soil investigation and quality control. Forty years and more than 5,000 projects later, that office has grown into five connected pillars — consulting, geoenvironmental contracting, HOA services, Ardy agribusiness and Salek infrastructure — operating as one platform: ASSIST, chaired by Eng. Karim Mahmoud Abdelfattah.

    This site is the new home of that ecosystem. The project map grows as we log our archive; this journal will carry case studies, lab notes and field engineering updates from our teams.

    The discipline stays the same as 1985: market quality at a better price, no commissions, no marketing fees — and we execute our own work.
