Why Adelaide Soil Conditions Matter
Adelaide has some of Australia's most reactive clay soils. Under AS 2870, suburbs are classified by soil reactivity — Class A (stable coastal sands) through to Class H2 (highly reactive clay in the northern and southern corridors). A concrete contractor who applies the same specification everywhere in Adelaide will leave you with a cracked slab on a Class H1 site within 3–5 years.
| AS 2870 Class | Adelaide Suburbs | Our Response |
|---|
| Class A / S | Glenelg, Henley Beach, Semaphore, Brighton | Standard 100 mm, SL72, 100 mm roadbase |
| Class M | Norwood, Unley, Campbelltown, Mitcham | Standard spec, control joints at 3 m |
| Class H1 | Salisbury, Para Hills, Morphett Vale, Hallett Cove | SL82 mesh, 150 mm roadbase, joints at 2.5 m |
| Class H2 | Elizabeth, Gawler, Davoren Park, Munno Para | Engineer spec, deep edge beams, SL82 mesh |
