What sets this area apart

Salmi is a district of older residential buildings on medium-sized plots, mostly single or two-storey structures built decades ago. The old foundations and site soil often require load recalculation before any addition, and sometimes need extra reinforcement under the existing columns. Older frames require inspection for cracks, concrete strength testing and steel bar integrity assessment before the new pour begins.

Salmi lies in Jahra governorate near the Kuwait-Iraq border region, a district of older buildings on medium-sized plots.

We conduct load testing of the existing foundations and columns before approving any new-floor design.

Questions about Second-floor addition in Salmi

Call now
Can the old building's foundations carry a second floor?

The foundations and soil must be examined first. We take samples of the existing concrete and load-test them, then calculate whether they can take the new load or need reinforcement.

How long does the structural assessment of the existing frame take before adding a floor?

The assessment includes field tests and engineering calculations, usually resulting in a report within a few weeks. The duration depends on the building size, column count and sample results.
