What sets this area apart

Hassawi is a residential district in Farwaniya with varied villas, some two-storey and some three-storey, on plots 18 to 25 metres deep. Most were built between 2000 and 2010, with clay soil mixed with sand and gravel. Vertical expansion requires careful reading of current loads and verification of foundation and column adequacy. We test concrete by rebound hammer and ultrasonic methods, scan for reinforcement with magnetic detectors, then design the structural tie carefully to distribute new loads fairly across the old frame.

Hassawi is located in Farwaniya governorate, a district of residential villas of varied storeys on plots of different depths.

Hassawi villas typically have footing foundations 1.8 to 2.5 metres deep and need clay soil stability assessment before adding a new floor.

Questions about Additional floor in Hassawi

Call now
Does clay soil in Hassawi affect the safety of an additional floor?

Yes, clay soil is sensitive to moisture and seasonal changes may cause settlement or expansion. We test the clay's engineering properties and determine the safety factor for foundations. We may deepen the footing or widen the base to safely distribute the new load.

How do you verify that existing concrete columns are adequate?

We test column diameter and reinforcement with magnetic devices and metal detectors, and take small samples to test concrete quality. We input this data into redesign calculations to see if columns handle the added load or need strengthening.
