Additional floor in Kuwait - Waha

Additional floor in Waha

An additional floor in Waha requires precise testing of the existing structure and the sandy soil beneath it, since foundation quality varies from plot to plot. We run load tests and coordinate with the consultant engineer to design the reinforcement and new pour as one integrated job.

What sets this area apart

Waha is a district of two-and-a-half to three-storey homes on small plots amid closely spaced neighbouring buildings, and the soil here is fine sand that needs careful load testing. Foundations are usually short piles or shallow footings, and adding a complete storey means thorough review of pile depth and calculation of likely settlement after the new load. The existing frame must be checked for settlement before work starts, and temporary props must be installed to protect the lower floors during reinforcement and pouring.

Waha lies in Jahra governorate, a residential district with mixed construction ages ranging from older houses to modern apartment blocks.

Testing the sandy soil's bearing capacity and calculating expected settlement is an essential stage before final design approval.

Questions about Additional floor in Waha

Call now
What is the difference between soil testing in Waha and other areas?

Waha's soil is fine sand and more prone to settlement than other areas, so we need deeper load tests and precise calculation of likely subsidence after adding the new floor and its impact on neighbouring buildings.

How long does the reinforcement and pouring take for an additional floor in Waha?

Reinforcement alone takes weeks depending on column size and pile condition, then comes the new pour in stages. The timeline depends on the structural assessment results and the consultant's final design.
