Underground tank construction in Kuwait - Sabah Al-Ahmad City

Underground tank construction in Sabah Al-Ahmad City

Underground reinforced tanks in Sabah Al-Ahmad City serve a steady demand because the city is a planned urban expansion. Tank installation from excavation through reinforced concrete pour, waterproofing and backfill must account for the shallow groundwater table and fine sandy soil.

What sets this area apart

Sabah Al-Ahmad City has modern, spaced-out buildings on regular plots, mostly single-family villas and low-rise apartments with open space between them. The soil is fine sand and groundwater sits very close to the surface, so tank excavation requires constant monitoring for seepage and shoring the pit walls with timber or steel beams before pouring. The shallow water table also means the tank must have robust external waterproofing and a perimeter drainage system for groundwater so it does not press on the walls.

Sabah Al-Ahmad City sits in Ahmadi governorate, a planned coastal district with modern development.

Groundwater in Sabah Al-Ahmad City sits 1.5 to 2 metres below surface, which requires perimeter drainage for the buried tank.

Questions about Underground tank construction in Sabah Al-Ahmad City

How do you protect the tank from pressure of nearby groundwater?

We apply asphalt and polyethylene waterproofing to the external walls, and install a bitumen pipe drainage system around the tank base to channel seepage away.

Does the pit need bracing before pouring concrete in fine sandy soil?

Yes, it is essential. Fine sandy soil collapses easily. We shore the pit walls with sturdy timber or steel beams before pouring, and monitor seepage throughout the work.
