The solution to reactive soil

For decades, builders and engineers have sought a efficient, compliant, low cost foundation system to meet an ever-growing demand for affordable housing. Many systems revolving around ‘raft slab’ designs have been developed, however, a reliable solution for designing and building residential slabs in high to extremely reactive clay soils continues to pose many problems.
