Second-floor addition in Kuwait - Ardhiya

Second-floor addition in Ardhiya

Adding a second floor to a house in Ardhiya requires testing the columns and foundations against loads that may not have been foreseen in the original design. We deliver a new floor fully integrated with the existing frame after complete verification and any needed reinforcement.

What sets this area apart

Ardhiya villas have foundations and columns typically designed for one or two storeys depending on age, and many are older with concrete affected by moisture and salt. Before adding a floor, we test concrete strength with non-destructive devices, inspect column reinforcement if visible from corrosion, and review results with a structural engineer. If reinforcement is needed, we add supporting columns or strengthen the foundation before pouring the new floor.

Ardhiya sits in Farwaniya governorate near the industrial zone and includes both older and newer residential villas.

Most Ardhiya foundations, subject to salt, require moisture and corrosion testing before adding new load.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Ardhiya

Call now
What is the effect of salt and moisture on an old foundation before adding a floor?

Salt weakens concrete and reinforcement from within, so actual capacity may be less than original calculations assume. We test depth and strength and adjust the design based on findings.

Do we need to add new columns if the existing ones are weak?

We may add new columns beside existing ones or reinforce the foundation to distribute load better, depending on inspection results and structural calculations.
