Soil, slabs and movement in Mickleham VIC

Every lot is classified under AS 2870, and that class sets the slab design, the reinforcement and how much movement is expected between a wet winter and a dry summer. We do not publish a class for Mickleham as a whole, because it is a property by property figure on your own soil report. What we can describe is what goes wrong when the slab as built does not match what was designed.

FAQ

Soil, slabs and movement in Mickleham VIC: common questions

What site class does Mickleham have?

The class differs from lot to lot and appears on the soil report for your own address. Ask your builder for it and check the slab was designed to that class.

Why does drainage matter to a slab?

Reactive ground moves with moisture. Water held against one edge and not another produces differential movement.

Is all cracking a defect?

No. The tolerances guide classifies it by width and location, and we measure rather than judge.
