Rooftop floor addition in Kuwait - Rumaithiya

Rooftop floor addition in Rumaithiya

Rooftop additions to beachfront villas and small blocks in Rumaithiya require precise structural inspection of existing roofs while accounting for the coastal environment. We test concrete strength, reinforcement and corrosion, then build the new storey with salt- and moisture-resistant materials.

What sets this area apart

Rumaithiya is a coastal district with large and medium villas and small apartment blocks on relatively spaced plots. The coastal environment means concrete and reinforcement in these buildings corrode faster from salt exposure than inland areas. Before adding a floor, we run special tests to measure reinforcement corrosion and protective layer thickness; we may need to replace roof sections or apply additional protective coatings.

Rumaithiya is in Hawalli governorate, a coastal district overlooking the Gulf next to the Rumaithiya residential neighbourhood.

Roofs of coastal buildings in Rumaithiya typically show salt corrosion in the primary and secondary reinforcement at 3 to 5 centimetres depth, reducing actual strength significantly.
