What sets this area apart

Most Rumaithiya villas were built in the 1990s on medium to large plots, many overlooking or near the waterfront. Foundations are typically on sandy soil and may be close to shallow groundwater. Columns are 40×40 cm or larger, and structures are relatively modern. Before adding a floor, we inspect moisture and salt effects on existing concrete and check groundwater depth. If groundwater is high, we may need additional cement sealing or improved drainage beneath new foundations.

Rumaithiya lies in Hawalli governorate, a district of coastal villas and spacious streets near the waterfront.

Rumaithiya foundations are typically 1.2 to 1.5 metres deep to avoid seasonal groundwater fluctuation effects.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Rumaithiya

How do we handle groundwater when adding a floor to a coastal villa?

We check groundwater level with exploratory boreholes and test its effects on concrete. If water is high, we add cement sealing and improved drainage beneath new foundations to protect the structure from moisture and salt.

Can foundations in a 1990s villa carry an additional second floor?

Usually yes, as 1990s villas were built to reasonable standards with relatively deep foundations. But we inspect column diameter, foundation depth and concrete quality. If foundations are adequate, major additional reinforcement may not be necessary.
