Normal-weight and lightweight masonry

Solid concrete blocks manufactured in Dubai

EMCON manufactures solid concrete masonry blocks for specified construction applications in Dubai and throughout the UAE. The published range includes normal-weight and lightweight units in multiple wall widths, allowing project teams to review dimensions and density before selecting a product for approval.

Solid block sizes and density classes

EMCON's existing schedule lists nominal lengths of 390 or 400 mm, heights of 190 or 200 mm, and widths from 90 to 300 mm across the solid-block family. Published normal-weight density is 2,100 kg/m3, while listed lightweight solid units use density classes of 1,100 and 1,400 kg/m3.

Dimensions and density are only part of the selection. The approved wall design, strength, loading, authority requirements, finishes and handling constraints must be checked before ordering.

  • Lightweight solid concrete blocks
  • Multiple thicknesses for specified wall build-ups
  • Thermal solid variants available with insulation inserts

Specification-led quotations

To compare like with like, state the required dimensions, density class, compressive strength, applicable standard, quantity and delivery location. Include drawings or the relevant bill-of-quantities item when the wording is project-specific.

EMCON can identify a corresponding published product for technical review. Final acceptance remains subject to the consultant, authority and project submittal process.

Current documentation

An EMCON concrete masonry certificate is published through Dubai Municipality's factory-assessment scheme. Check the current listing and certificate scope when preparing a material approval because certificate validity and listed products can change.
