Basement construction in Kuwait - Salmiya

Basement construction in Salmiya

Basement work in Salmiya is uniquely challenging because plots are narrow and the water table sits very close to the surface. We excavate carefully, brace adjacent walls, and protect neighbouring buildings before pouring any below-grade structure.

What sets this area apart

Salmiya plots range from 400 to 600 square meters, surrounded by standing 5 to 8 storey buildings. Excavating a basement means removing 2 to 3 meters depth next to existing walls, so we use diagonal bracing and temporary sheet pile walls. The water table sits at 0.8 meters below surface in summer and 0.3 meters in winter, requiring constant pumping and tight waterproofing from day one.

Salmiya sits in Hawalli governorate near Gulf Road, a district of closely packed apartment buildings on narrow plots.

We install temporary sheet pile or steel braced walls to support existing soil during basement excavation beside standing buildings.

Questions about Basement construction in Salmiya

Call now
Can you excavate a basement right next to an existing apartment building?

Yes, but we need temporary bracing walls and continuous monitoring for cracks and settlement. We coordinate fully with the site engineer to ensure the adjacent building stays safe.

Does winter weather affect basement construction in Salmiya?

Yes, the water table rises significantly in winter. We increase pumping and drainage capacity, and review our waterproofing plan, adding extra layers if needed.
