Soil, slabs and movement in Melton South VIC

Each lot is classified under AS 2870, and that class drives the slab design, the reinforcement and the movement expected between seasons. We do not publish a class for the suburb, because it is a lot by lot figure on your own soil report. What we can set out is what goes wrong when the slab as built departs from the design.

FAQ

Soil, slabs and movement in Melton South VIC: common questions

What site class applies here?

It varies by lot and appears on your own soil report. Ask the builder and check the slab drawing was designed to that class.

Is slab cracking normal?

Some is. The tolerances guide categorises it by width and location. Cracks at 2mm to 4mm fall outside the acceptable range.

Why does mesh position matter?

Cover is what protects the steel and gives the slab its designed strength. Sagging mesh loses both.
