Ground conditions and slabs in Oran Park NSW

Two things about the ground under Oran Park are worth holding together. The first is regional: the suburb sits on the Cumberland Plain, where soils weather from Wianamatta Group shale into clay rich profiles that change volume with moisture. The second is local: this land was a motor racing circuit until 2010, so much of it has been cut, filled and regraded. Neither fact tells you what your lot is. Both are reasons to read the soil report your builder commissioned, because it is the document your slab was designed from, and we will not publish a site class for the suburb in its place.

FAQ

Ground conditions and slabs in Oran Park NSW: common questions

What site class is Oran Park?

There is no figure that can honestly be given for a whole suburb, and on reshaped ground that is truer than usual. Your lot's soil report is the answer.

Should I be worried about fill?

Not worried, informed. Engineered fill is normal and is designed for. What you want is to know your lot was assessed and the slab designed accordingly, which the soil report and engineering show.

What is within my control?

Moisture at the footings. Keep stormwater discharging away, keep the ground falling away from the slab, and keep garden beds from cycling between saturated and dry.
