What sets this area apart

Houses in Abdullah Al-Salem typically sit on mid-sized plots, with two or three storeys of block and concrete, and foundations resting on sandy soil at 1 to 1.5 metres depth. The sand in the area is compressible, especially if exposed to water from drainage leaks or AC condensate. Adding a fourth floor needs precise assessment of existing footings, and we may widen the foundation base or add new columns with bolted steel beams to distribute load safely.

Abdullah Al-Salem lies in Kuwait Capital governorate near the British Embassy, a medium-density residential suburb.

Shallow foundations on sand require soil moisture testing before design, as water affects bearing capacity.

Questions about Additional floor in Abdullah Al-Salem

Call now
Is the sandy soil in Abdullah Al-Salem adequate for adding a floor?

It depends on soil condition and existing footings. We request initial geotechnical testing to measure bearing capacity. If weak, we widen the footings or add a few deep piles.

Does AC water leakage affect the foundations?

Yes, sandy soil saturates quickly, reducing bearing capacity. Before adding a floor, we check AC and drainage water discharge and ensure proper foundation waterproofing.
