Underground tank construction in Kuwait - Kuwait City

Underground tank construction in Kuwait City

Reinforced underground tanks in Kuwait City are built 3 to 4 metres deep to sit below the high water table. We excavate the plot, construct the reinforced concrete shell with full waterproofing, and deliver it ready for pump connection and filling.

What sets this area apart

Most residential and commercial buildings in the capital need underground tanks because the mains supply pressure fluctuates seasonally and the water table rises rapidly with simple excavation. Plots here vary in size across older and newer districts, but natural ground levels differ between south and north, affecting actual excavation depth. The concrete shell must be at least 30 centimetres thick for walls and 40 for the roof to resist hydrostatic pressure and saline soil.

Kuwait City sits in the Capital governorate, encompassing the old quarter and modern residential districts around Liberation Tower and the Grand Mosque.

The water table in the capital ranges between 1 and 3 metres below ground level, requiring a sealed tank design with above-ground vent openings.

How deep must excavation go for an underground tank in Kuwait City?

Excavation typically ranges 3 to 4 metres depending on the water table and plot location. We conduct soil testing before design to confirm safe depth and required wall thickness.

Does the underground tank need protection from saline groundwater?

Yes, it is essential. We apply multi-layer cementitious waterproofing to walls and floor, followed by an additional polymer protective coating to resist saline attack and seepage over decades.
