Basement construction in Kuwait - Khitan

Basement construction in Khitan

Basement work in Khitan focuses on safe excavation below the relatively high water table and pouring on a solid foundation. The location between the Third Ring and a developing area means basement designs vary by plot depth and soil classification.

What sets this area apart

Khitan plots range from 500 to 800 square metres, and most houses are newly built or under construction with basements for garage and storage. Soil here is sandy with interspersed clay layers, and groundwater is about two metres deep, requiring careful excavation and continuous drainage. We test each plot individually to understand soil composition before setting basement depth and required formwork. Outer walls need thick waterproofing and perimeter drainage channels to draw water away from the structure.

Khitan is in Farwaniya governorate, a modern residential area near Farwaniya Hospital and the Third Ring Road.

Groundwater depth in Khitan is typically around two metres, requiring a robust waterproofing system for any basement.

Questions about Basement construction in Khitan

Call now
What basement depth is feasible in a Khitan plot without groundwater problems?

It depends on actual soil testing, but we typically reach 3 to 3.5 metres below grade with full waterproofing. If you want deeper, we need continuous pumping during construction and additional protective walls.

Can we build a basement if the plot is near public drainage channels?

Yes, but we must study the channel's location, depth and route carefully. If the channel is above the basement, there is no issue. If it is below, we need extra waterproofing and possibly reroute drainage with municipality approval.
