Ground-floor construction in Kuwait - Qibla

Ground-floor construction in Qibla

Building a reinforced ground floor in Qibla serves adding storeys to existing buildings in a crowded commercial zone near Gulf Road. We set columns, beams and the roof slab on foundations engineered to carry the full load of upper floors.

What sets this area apart

Old commercial buildings in Qibla are typically five to seven storeys on small plots in a busy shopping street, and the new ground floor must account for settlement from the original construction and transfer new load through deep piles parallel to the existing foundations. We examine the soil around old footings and place additional distribution mats under new columns to prevent lateral tilting toward neighbours. The ground floor must stay clear of load-bearing walls in the middle to keep the commercial space open.

Qibla lies in Capital governorate, an old crowded commercial district with buildings clustered near Gulf Road.

Old foundations in Qibla are typically shallower than current minimum standards, so we use deep parallel concrete piles under new columns.

Questions about Ground-floor construction in Qibla

How do you transfer the new floor's load without damaging the old foundation?

We survey the soil and existing foundation first, then place deep piles or distribution mats beside the original footing so they do not cause settlement or tilt. Each new column has its own independent load path.

Can the ground floor centre be opened without load-bearing walls?

Yes, if the beams are designed long enough to span the space. We use long beams of greater depth and sometimes steel sections to distribute load only to perimeter columns.
