What sets this area apart

Zour power stations rest on very deep pile foundations piercing alternating sand and clay layers; basements are sometimes requested for control rooms, heavy oil storage, or underground cooling pipes. The soil here is very moist and saline, with groundwater deeper than Shuaiba but still a persistent threat. We work from detailed engineering designs that specify excavation depth, bases, and drainage, use high-strength concrete and multiple waterproofing layers, and ensure complete separation between the basement and the station's main foundations.

Zour lies in Ahmadi governorate, a zone of power generation and water desalination plants on the coast.

The bearing layer depth in Zour ranges from eight to ten metres below ground level.

    Deep cut with retained earth and temporary support where needed.

  • Reinforced retaining walls

    Poured concrete walls resist soil and hydrostatic pressure from outside.

  • Basement floor slab

    Structural slab cast on a blinding layer over prepared ground.

  • Full waterproofing system

    Multi-layer protection applied to floor and walls before backfilling.

  • Internal frame

    Columns, beams and intermediate slab connecting basement to ground floor.

  • Access and ventilation

    Staircase, vehicle ramp or lift shaft designed into the structure.

Questions about Basement construction in Zour

Call now
Do you build basements adjacent to the deep pile foundations of power stations?

Yes, but with complete separation and independent design. We set the basement floor level safely above the pile bottoms and build strong perimeter isolation walls to shield the basement from minor movements of heavy foundations.

What waterproofing standards apply to a basement storing heavy industrial oils underground?

Chemical-resistant concrete, thick bituminous waterproofing, and an extra epoxy barrier are required, plus periodic leak testing and independent perimeter drainage to contain any oil spill.
