Additional floor in Kuwait - Taima

Additional floor in Taima

Adding a floor in Taima requires testing desert soil and seasonal expansion before new foundation design. We assess expected soil settlement under additional load and design columns and beams that withstand desert climatic conditions.

What sets this area apart

Taima is a desert area with variable sand and clay soil, and residential houses have shallow or moderate-depth foundations due to rocky layers close to the surface. Seasonal expansion and contraction affect old foundations, so we sample soil to at least 2 metres depth to understand layering and salt content. Any additional floor significantly increases soil load, so we first document the existing building's actual settlement, then design the new floor's foundations with a larger safety margin.

Taima lies in Jahra governorate, a residential area in the southern desert suburbs of Jahra.

We require differential settlement testing between corners of the existing building before designing a new floor on desert soil.

Questions about Additional floor in Taima

Call now
Does seasonal soil expansion affect the added floor?

Yes, seasonal expansion and contraction in Taima can reach several centimetres. We design foundations at greater depth with larger shrinkage allowance, and use gravel layers to isolate from seasonal moisture.

How do we measure the building's current settlement before adding a floor?

We fix reference marks on columns and foundations, use precision levelling to measure vertical differences. We repeat measurements over several weeks to track cumulative and differential settlement across different points.
