Underground tank construction in Shuaiba
Underground tank construction in Shuaiba deals with light sandy soil and high coastal moisture. We excavate with strong side bracing, pour an elevated foundation to avoid groundwater seepage, insulate walls with thick polyethylene sheet, and fill-test the tank for extended periods before delivery.

What sets this area apart
Shuaiba is an industrial and residential coastal zone south of Ahmadi with oil refineries, maintenance workshops and worker housing near Shuaiba Port. The soil here is very light sand close to sea-water table level, making deep excavation difficult and waterproofing critical. We test sand density by measuring compaction resistance and set foundation height above groundwater level with at least one metre of dry soil above tank base.
Shuaiba lies in Ahmadi governorate on the industrial coast, an area where underground tanks face high groundwater pressure and sea-salt corrosion.
Groundwater level is tested weekly for a month before excavation starts because live coastal sand raises the water table during high tide.
What the job covers
Walls and base construction
Base and walls built to carry soil pressure and full water load
Full waterproof lining
Internal and external coating layers that block water movement in both directions
Pipe entry points
Inlet and outlet openings sealed with rubber collars to prevent pipe-joint leaks
Pump and float connection
Transfer pump and water-level float wired and adjusted for correct operation
Tightness test
Tank filled and water level watched to confirm zero leakage before backfilling
How we work
Our four steps, and you see every one
You call and describe it
Tell us what is happening and where, and the right equipment is loaded before we arrive.
The camera goes down
We film the line from inside and know the kind of blockage and its exact place. No guessing.
We clear it
High pressure water, a machine or a drain snake, whichever the line actually needs.
We film it again
The camera runs a second pass and you see the line clear with your own eyes before we leave.
Who we work for
Same method, same equipment. Only the size of the job changes.

Why must the tank foundation be higher than normal in Shuaiba?
Because the groundwater table is very high on the coast and may reach two metres below surface in certain seasons. Raising the tank base ensures it does not submerge in salty groundwater that corrodes concrete.
Is polyethylene insulation enough to protect the tank from sea-salt corrosion?
Polyethylene protects concrete from water, but we add an extra epoxy coating to the internal wall surface to prevent salt penetration through hairline cracks.
