The only part of the building you cannot go back and fix.
Everything above ground can be repaired, replaced or refurbished. The foundation is poured once, buried, and then trusted for the life of the building. It is the last place to economise on investigation.
Designed for the ground you actually have.
Oman gives you rock at 600 mm on one plot and soft sabkha with aggressive groundwater on the next. The soil report is the starting point, never an afterthought.
Soil Interpretation
We read the geotechnical report properly — bearing capacity, settlement, water table and sulphate content, not just the headline number.
Foundation Type
Pads, strips, raft or piles — selected on cost and settlement, and sized so differential movement stays within what the finishes tolerate.
Durability
Concrete grade, cover and waterproofing specified against sulphate and chloride attack. Coastal ground here is chemically hostile.
Retaining & Basements
Earth pressure, uplift and tanking designed together — a basement that floats or leaks is a foundation problem, not a waterproofing one.
Everything the excavation needs, before it starts.
Substructure drawings are the first thing site asks for and the last thing that should be rushed.
Foundation Layout
Setting out, levels and excavation depths ready for the surveyor.
Reinforcement Details
Pad, strip and raft details with full bar bending schedules.
Concrete Specification
Grade, cover, admixtures and curing regime written for this ground.
Have a soil report? Send it over.
If you do not have one yet, we will tell you what to ask the geotechnical lab for — and what a report is missing if it comes back thin.
