Second-floor addition in Kuwait - Abu Hasaniya

Second-floor addition in Abu Hasaniya

Adding a second floor to an existing villa in Abu Hasaniya begins with a thorough inspection of the original foundations, columns and soil. We confirm the current frame can support the full second-floor slab before pouring and finishing.

What sets this area apart

Abu Hasaniya is a district of detached villas on medium to large plots, mostly built 20 to 30 years ago in traditional villa style with concrete columns and standard foundations. Soil here is clayey with sandy layers, and older structures often lack detailed soil reports or kept structural drawings. When adding a floor, we run test pits to understand current soil layers and the condition of existing foundations, and assess whether the original columns (usually 35×35 or 40×40) need strengthening. Adjacent buildings require protection and concurrent monitoring during excavation and pouring.

Abu Hasaniya is in Mubarak Al-Kabeer governorate, an older coastal villa district on medium-sized plots.

Villas in Abu Hasaniya typically have columns measuring 35×35 or 40×40 cm with design loads of 400 to 500 kN per column.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Abu Hasaniya

Can an older villa carry a second floor without foundation strengthening?

The original foundations may not be adequate if the villa was designed for one floor. We test the soil and foundations with test pits and calculate current capacity, then determine if strengthening is necessary.

How do you protect neighbouring villas during excavation and pouring for the second floor?

We erect protective barriers around the work site and monitor cracks and movement in neighbouring foundations throughout excavation and pouring. We stop work at any sign of damage to adjacent structures.
