What sets this area apart

Shaab is a coastal area where residential homes sit on concrete slabs exposed to moisture and sea salt. When adding a rooftop annex here, the slab must be checked not just for strength but also for corrosion and salt-induced cracking. We use salt-resistant concrete in new columns and beams, and add waterproofing layers above the old slab before construction. Proper ventilation under the annex space is essential to prevent moisture pooling and condensation.

Shaab sits in Hawalli governorate on the shores of the Gulf, where residential homes predominate near Sha'ab Leisure Park.

Salt-resistant concrete is required in new columns and beams due to coastal exposure in Shaab.

Questions about Rooftop annex in Shaab

Call now
How do we protect a rooftop annex from sea moisture in Shaab?

We apply waterproofing layers over the old slab, use salt-resistant concrete in new foundations and columns, and ensure proper ventilation under the annex. Protective coatings on steel columns extend service life.

Does a Shaab annex need longer concrete curing due to moisture?

Yes, we extend wet curing from the standard seven days to ten days, and cover the surface with plastic and sand to retain moisture. This reduces early cracking and permeability.
