Second-floor addition in Kuwait - Abbasiya

Second-floor addition in Abbasiya

Adding a second floor to an existing building in Abbasiya requires a capacity check of the existing foundation and columns plus municipal approval. We verify the original frame's ability, then build the new floor fully with services and finishing.

What sets this area apart

Abbasiya's residential buildings range from old single-storey family houses to modern two-storey apartment blocks on medium plots. Older structures were built to load standards that may not suit a full additional storey, especially if foundations are shallow or soil is damp in some areas. We run a geotechnical soil check alongside structural calculations for columns and beams, then determine if reinforcement or extra footings are needed before pouring the second floor.

Abbasiya sits in Farwaniya governorate, a mixed-age residential district with family houses and apartment buildings.

Soil in some Abbasiya areas is damp, requiring geotechnical testing of foundations before a floor addition.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Abbasiya

What does geotechnical soil testing mean before adding a floor?

We take soil samples at different depths to measure strength and load-bearing capacity. This helps us design proper foundations and safe excavation.

If the existing foundations are weak, how do you fix them?

We use several methods: deepening excavations for additional footings or stabilizing the current foundation with cement injection into the soil. The method depends on foundation condition and geotechnical test results.
