Structural integrity & safety
Foundation design for soil conditions (e.g. clay shrink-swell resistance)
Solutions
Deep pile / screwed-pile foundation
: Transfers load below the clay-active zone (min. 0.8-1.2m per exposure); individually adjustable/relevelable.
Skid or point-support foundation
: Structure not rigidly fixed to the ground; sidesteps soil-movement transfer rather than resisting it.
