What sets this area apart
Abbasiya apartment buildings are four- to six-storey structures, mostly built in the 1980s and 1990s, with flat concrete roofs carrying water tanks and air conditioning units. The existing roof was designed to carry a specific load limited to its self-weight, air conditioning and water tanks. Adding a new floor means completely recalculating loads on foundations and columns, and some columns may need strengthening with additional steel elements. We require a report from an approved consulting office covering all existing structural elements.
Abbasiya is in Farwaniya governorate, a relatively older residential area with medium-rise buildings and concrete roofs.
Most Abbasiya roofs are 20 to 25 centimetres thick and carry relatively light service loads before the addition.

Questions about Rooftop floor addition in Abbasiya
Call nowIs column strengthening always necessary when adding a rooftop floor?
Not always; it depends on comprehensive structural inspection results. If columns and foundations can handle the added load, strengthening may not be needed. But most older buildings in the area require at least partial reinforcement.
How do you prevent water leaks from the new floor into lower apartments?
We apply multiple waterproofing layers beneath the new floor foundation, with secure drainage for seasonal water away from the structure. Every drain and pipe undergoes pressure testing before handover.
