Apart from the immediate advantages of a slimmer product requiring shallower foundations and less soil extraction, Clayboard® has specific advantages over other methods of void creation.
Industrial & Commercial Buildings
Traditional clayheave systems can exert considerable pressure on ground slabs during the compression process. Clayboard® is unique, with its central core designed to collapse under just 3kN/m2 pressure.
Residential Buildings
Some types of clayheave systems are unsuitable for housing as the pressure exerted far exceeds the load on ground slabs. Clayboard® falls comfortably within this limit and provides an economical alternative to block and beam void creation systems. |
