What sets this area apart

Qadisiya has mid-rise apartment blocks and older villas with mixed stone foundations and concrete columns. Many of these buildings were built in the 1970s and 1980s with less stringent design standards than today, meaning adding a new floor requires a complete structural reassessment. The soil in Qadisiya is clayey and shallow, and may contain voids, so we run comprehensive stability tests before approving any addition design.

Qadisiya is in the Capital governorate, a residential area near Kuwait SC stadium and Qadisiya Co-op.

We determine the existing building's structural category and soil type before the building department approves any floor addition.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Qadisiya

Can old building columns in Qadisiya handle an extra floor?

Not always without reinforcement. We sample the concrete and test the columns to determine their strength; if reinforcement is needed, we wrap them with concrete or inject epoxy around the existing columns.

What about clay soil foundations under an old building?

We run geotechnical tests on the existing soil to measure its stability and load resistance. We may need to deepen or reinforce the foundations with piles if the soil is weak.
