Second-floor addition in Kuwait - Dhaher

Second-floor addition in Dhaher

Adding a second floor to an existing structure in Dhaher requires precise checks of the foundations and columns to ensure they carry the added load. We run load tests and structural calculations before starting, then build the second floor matching the existing materials and structural system.

What sets this area apart

Most buildings in Dhaher are single or two-storey houses on medium to large plots, built on sandy soil with deep foundations. When adding a second floor, we sample the soil around existing foundations and inspect the base depth and column thickness through trial pits and load testing. The desert climate and concrete thermal expansion affect the bond between old and new structure, so we use re-studied materials for adhesion.

Dhaher is in Ahmadi governorate in the desert region near the Saudi border, where low-rise residential buildings predominate.

Deep foundations in Dhaher require condition assessment before adding the second-floor load.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Dhaher

How do we confirm the foundations can carry an extra floor?

We run load tests and trial pits around existing foundations to measure depth, base thickness and concrete quality. We analyse results and recalculate loads before approving the project.

Do the materials used in the second floor match the existing one?

Yes, we use matching concrete grades, steel and tested adhesive materials so the new frame bonds firmly with the existing one, especially in desert areas.
