What sets this area apart

Sabahiya is a coastal governorate in Ahmadi; most houses were built on 20 to 24 metre deep plots with simple concrete frames. The main issue here is salt and moisture damage to concrete and steel, causing accelerated corrosion of columns and foundations. Before adding a floor, we inspect steel corrosion by sampling concrete and testing its strength with ultrasonic methods, and study salt effects on the existing structure's durability, as this determines whether the floor addition is even feasible.

Sabahiya is located in Ahmadi governorate on the coast, with residential houses affected by the salt marine environment.

Salt corrosion of steel in coastal-area foundations and columns progresses faster, requiring specialized inspection before any floor addition.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Sabahiya

Call now
Does coastal moisture damage the structure's ability to carry a second floor?

Yes, salt and moisture reduce concrete and steel strength over time. We assess the extent of steel corrosion and concrete quality, then determine if the structure is safe for addition or needs foundational reinforcement first.

How do you protect new foundation steel from salt corrosion in Sabahiya?

We use high-quality concrete with adequate steel cover thickness and add protective materials like fly ash or fibres. We also ensure proper drainage around foundations to minimize salt seepage.
