What sets this area apart

Wafra plots are large and sparsely built, containing farms, warehouses and scattered rural houses. The ground floor for agricultural warehouses typically includes partially open storage and parking for tractors and lorries. The soil is soft sand with groundwater levels possibly close to the surface, requiring careful excavation and possibly dewatering or pumping during construction. Footings must be deep and strong to prevent differential settlement, and we coordinate with the site engineer on soil and groundwater testing before final design.

Wafra sits in Ahmadi governorate, an agricultural zone near the Saudi border marked by large plots and sparse population.

Groundwater level in Wafra can be close to ground surface, so we test it before designing the footings.

Questions about Ground-floor construction in Wafra

How do we handle groundwater close to the surface during foundation excavation?

We test groundwater level first to determine its depth. If it is close, we use pumping stations and drainage channels around the excavation. We may need temporary retaining walls of timber and steel to prevent excavation sides collapsing.

Are shallow footings sufficient in soft sandy soil in Wafra?

We commission a full soil study first, as soft sandy soil may need deep footings or soil stabilisation methods to increase bearing capacity. We test bearing capacity and design accordingly.
