Why The Colony Foundations Fail
Forensic Soil Report for Zip 75056
Recent drought cycles in The Colony have accelerated soil shrinkage. If you own a home on Branyon clay, 0 to 1 percent slopes, your slab is under stress.
Critical limit is 25.0.
Vertical movement potential.
Why Shallow Repairs Fail vs. Our Solution
Visual Proof: While concrete cylinders sit in the "Active Zone" (expanding/shrinking clay), our steel piers penetrate until they hit load-bearing strata (refusal).
Engineer's Action Plan for The Colony
Critical Swell Protocol
The Branyon clay, 0 to 1 percent slopes in your area has a Plasticity Index of 39.0, which is considered EXTREME. Shallow repairs (concrete pressed pilings) have a 60% failure rate here because the active zone extends deeper than 12 feet.
- Require: Double-walled steel piers.
- Avoid: Concrete cylinders (too much friction).
This zip code requires P.E. oversight for all repairs.
