What sets this area apart

Salhiya has a large commercial complex, shops and mixed homes on adjacent plots, with several projects requesting basements for storage or small exhibitions. Soil in Salhiya is relatively moist and groundwater is shallow, requiring composite sealing of bitumen and plastic membranes with flexible drainage pipes. We also review load distribution from upper buildings on the basement and concrete expansion joints needed to absorb pressure, and monitor mechanical moisture drying before handover.

Salhiya is in the Capital governorate and is known for the Salhiya Commercial Complex and Sheraton Hotel.

We separate sewage and water drainage systems by a minimum 0.5 metres horizontal distance to prevent cross-contamination.

Questions about Basement construction in Salhiya

Is a Salhiya basement suitable for a small showroom or goods display?

Yes, provided we design adequate natural and mechanical ventilation, install moisture-resistant LED lighting and insulated flooring. We ensure the space is completely dry before handover and use.

What is the typical timeline for building a Salhiya basement from excavation to handover?

It depends on basement size, but typically takes 2 to 4 months from excavation start to finishing surfaces and floors, accounting for any moisture encountered during digging.
