What sets this area apart
Shaab is a residential area near the coast, with most plots medium-sized, holding villas and apartment buildings of one to three storeys. Groundwater here is deeper than inland areas but varies seasonally and may approach basement excavation levels. We use continuous, strong pumping during excavation and apply multiple waterproofing layers with an effective peripheral drainage system. Coastal sandy soil may be weak, so we review soil survey results before selecting foundation and wall support types.
Shaab sits in Hawalli governorate, a coastal district near Sha'ab Park and the beachfront.
Groundwater in Shaab varies seasonally and may sometimes reach two metres below finished floor level.

Questions about Basement construction in Shaab
Call nowDoes the coastal sandy soil affect basement construction?
Yes, sandy soil is less stable and needs stronger support walls and deeper foundations. Soil testing determines the right wall type and reinforcement to ensure structural stability.
How do you prevent water seepage in a basement near the coast?
We apply multiple waterproofing layers on the floor and walls, with a peripheral drainage system that collects groundwater and directs it away from the space continuously.
