Expansive (plastic) clays are widespread in Central Texas, and structures built on these soils can experience significant structural damage due to their shrinkage and swelling tendencies. InTEC offers several options to reduce potential soil movement:

• Excavating the existing expansive clays to a specified depth and replacing them with soils having lower expansive potential.
• Moisture conditioning the on-site clays
• Utilizing water or chemical injection methods to reduce the expansive potential of the underlying soils.
• It is important to note that each of these options comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
• Please get in touch with us to explore the advantages and disadvantages of the different options in more detail.
