Compensated foundation technique with Laterlite Expanded Clay allows the construction of new buildings on soft soil and ground of poor loadbearing capacity (where traditional foundations would cause an unacceptable amount of settlement) compensated foundations can be constructed using Laterlite Expanded Clay, which is sufficiently strong to support the whole load of the building.
A compensated foundation consists of replacing a volume of the ground below the foundations with an equivalent volume of Laterlite Expanded Clay (which has a much lower density) thereby reducing the weight and partly or wholly compensating for the loads imposed by the new building.
