Second-floor addition in Kuwait - Farwaniya

Second-floor addition in Farwaniya

Adding a second floor in Farwaniya to an older structure requires checking column and foundation capacity against current code standards. We assess the structural condition, then pour the new storey complete with walls and all services through final handover.

What sets this area apart

Most older houses in Farwaniya were built in the 1980s and 1990s on simple concrete frames without thorough geotechnical studies. The columns typically have small cross-sections and foundations are shallow strips, meaning a second floor requires deep inspection and often foundation reinforcement through grouting or piling. Farwaniya's climate and high water table affect soil stability, so we take soil samples at different depths to ensure correct design of any new foundation work.

Farwaniya is a governorate in southern Kuwait near Farwaniya Hospital, containing mid-range residential houses with shallow foundations and simple frames.

The water table in Farwaniya is relatively high, requiring soil condition analysis before designing the second-floor foundations.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Farwaniya

Call now
Can my old house's foundations be reinforced from underground?

Yes, we use cement grouting beneath existing strip foundations to increase bearing capacity, but this requires detailed inspection first and municipality approval.

Do I need piles if the soil under my house is weak?

It may be necessary if soil samples show weakness at the depth of your existing foundations. We evaluate reinforcement options and recommend the best solution based on the geotechnical assessment.
