What sets this area apart
Salmi is a remote border zone in Jahra with sparse, spread-out plots on bare desert land. Soil here is very sandy and loosely compacted, with thin surface layers of clay and salt. Natural grade changes are minimal, but retaining walls are needed to protect excavations and structures from sand creep and erosion. Strong seasonal winds and repeated sandstorms require walls with very robust design and very deep foundations. Drainage must be effective to prevent the sparse rainfall and seasonal dew from pooling behind the wall.
Salmi sits in Jahra governorate, a remote border zone on the Kuwait-Iraq border where soil is desert sand.
Retaining walls in Salmi require greater thickness and denser reinforcement than other areas due to weak sandy soil and strong winds.

Questions about Retaining wall in Salmi
Call nowHow do you protect the retaining wall from sand creep and erosion in Salmi?
We design a sturdy wall with extra thickness and dense reinforcement to resist lateral sand pressure. We add a protective cap of stone or sealant on the top and front to reduce sand and wind erosion.
Does seasonal moisture and dew affect the retaining wall in a remote border area?
Yes, so we design effective drainage along the wall's full height and select concrete with high cement content for moisture resistance. Ventilation behind the wall helps dry any accumulated moisture.
