What sets this area apart
Old Jahra is a historic district of small residential buildings and old markets on narrow plots, most built decades ago on relatively shallow foundations. Excavating a basement under an existing building requires careful assessment of nearby foundation stability and old stone walls. The water table varies seasonally, and there may be debris and irregular soil layers from earlier construction. We work carefully in these areas with continuous inspection of the building and neighbouring properties to prevent cracking or settlement.
Old Jahra sits in Jahra governorate, the historic district adjacent to Al Jahra Fort, known locally as the Red Fort.
We inspect old foundations closely before excavation to ensure the existing building remains stable and load-bearing walls do not collapse during work.

Yes, provided we inspect foundations and stone walls carefully first. We excavate cautiously and shore up old foundations with temporary supports during work, and monitor the building continuously with measurement devices.
