What sets this area apart

Homes in old Jahra were built decades ago on shallow foundations in soft sandy soil, and many lack documented engineering drawings. When requesting a new floor, we start with trial excavation and soil and foundation inspection to measure existing settlement. We then determine whether the soil can handle reinforced foundation reconstruction or if we need deep piles. Old frames may have fine cracks in concrete, which we treat before pouring.

Old Jahra sits in Jahra governorate, a historic residential area near Al Jahra Fort where traditional homes are concentrated.

We conduct soil bearing tests and create an engineering section drawing of the foundations before designing the new floor for any old home.

Questions about Additional floor in Jahra (Old)

How do you handle shallow foundations and sandy soil in old Jahra?

We inspect soil first with trial excavation to measure its cohesion and bearing capacity. If weak, we recommend deep piles that penetrate weak layers and reach firm strata.

Can a floor be added to an old house without original engineering drawings?

Yes, but we create current site drawings and conduct full inspection of the existing structure. We use measurement tools and non-destructive testing to understand the frame before new design.
