What sets this area apart

Qibla buildings range from 6 to 8-storey residential blocks to mixed commercial units, and most existing roofs are reinforced concrete 20 to 25 centimetres thick. Before executing the rooftop addition, the site engineer must inspect the slab, reinforcement mesh, columns and foundations to confirm they carry the new load, especially in older buildings. The site also requires strict procedures to remove old asphalt and waterproofing without damaging the primary roof, then pour the new slab with load-bearing beams and additional columns if needed.

Qibla is in Capital governorate, a mixed commercial and residential district near Gulf Road and Seif Palace.

Most existing roofs in Qibla are reinforced concrete 20 to 25 centimetres thick and require detailed structural inspection before addition.

Questions about Rooftop floor addition in Qibla

Call now
How do we verify that the existing roof carries a new floor?

The engineer measures slab thickness, reinforcement and load-bearing columns, then calculates the total load of the new floor including furniture and use. If capacity is sufficient, we proceed with the addition; otherwise we strengthen columns or slab first.

Do we strip the old asphalt and waterproofing before pouring the new floor?

Yes, we carefully remove all asphalt, waterproofing and debris to reach clean concrete, then prepare the surface for pouring. This ensures good bond for the new slab, pipes and drainage.
