Soil, slabs and movement in Clyde VIC

Every Victorian lot is classified under AS 2870, and that class drives the slab design, the reinforcement and how much the ground is expected to move between a wet winter and a dry summer. We do not publish a class for Clyde as a whole, because it is a property by property number that sits on your own soil report. What we can say is what goes wrong when the slab does not match it.

FAQ

Soil, slabs and movement in Clyde VIC: common questions

What site classification does Clyde have?

It varies lot by lot and is stated on your own soil report. Ask your builder for it, and check the slab drawing was designed to that class.

Why does drainage matter so much to a slab?

Reactive ground moves with moisture. Water held against one edge of a slab and not another is what produces differential movement.

Is cracking always a defect?

No. The tolerances guide classifies cracking by width and location. We measure it and tell you which category it falls in.
