Rooftop floor addition in Salhiya
Adding a rooftop floor to an existing structure in Salhiya requires a full structural assessment of the present roof before design and execution. We verify the slab thickness, load-bearing columns and existing reinforcement to ensure the frame can support the new storey.

What sets this area apart
Salhiya is an older area with older-style residential and commercial buildings on shallow foundations with light reinforcement by today's standards. A roof assessment reveals the concrete's actual strength and the existing steel, and we may need to reinforce the present columns and beams before pouring the new slab. The available height between the old roof and the municipality's maximum-height limit determines the new slab thickness and storey height.
Salhiya is in Capital governorate, an older district near Salhiya Commercial Complex.
Concrete strength testing by core drill or ultrasonic method is done before reinforcement design.

Questions about Rooftop floor addition in Salhiya
Call nowHow do we verify the old roof can support an additional storey?
We sample the concrete to test strength and assess existing steel, then calculate the additional load and design any reinforcement needed. The structural engineer signs off on calculations before pouring begins.
Do we demolish or adapt the existing roof?
We keep the existing roof and open connection points for new columns if needed. If the steel is very light, we add a reinforcement layer over it before pouring the new slab.
