Go Canada! 🍁 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, White Cap and thanks for inviting us to the Saskatoon Grand Opening last week! 🎉 Even though the weather was great, Rene Bourbonnais was on-site answering questions about building on expansive soils, wet conditions, and frost heave. Talk to your local distributor, dealer, or our product advisors about protecting your structure. We’re all dedicated to ensuring the success of your next construction project. Thanks again to White Cap for making it easier to access a wide variety of products in the growing region. 🙌 Follow us on LinkedIn for project and product insights. #whitecap #construction #engineering

It's exciting to see new residential developments in Heath, TX, a small but growing town just 26 miles from downtown Dallas. We recently supplied Mabry Custom Homes with over 10,000 sqft of VoidForm products for their latest custom home project in Heath. Using our degradable carton forms to create a void space underneath the structure, Mabry Custom Homes will safeguard the building from the dangers of expansive soil and ensure the home's longevity and structural integrity for many years.

Bentonite clay, commonly found in Colorado, can absorb water and expand up to several times its original size. This can be disastrous for concrete structures built on top, causing cracks and uneven floors.   2. According to the Colorado Geological Survey, “Bentonite and montmorillonite (weathered volcanic ash) clays can expand up to 20% by volume when exposed to water and exert a force of up to 30,000 pounds-per-square-foot, more than enough to break up any structure they encounter.

Bentonite clay can be difficult to detect during standard soil tests. While some tests can identify its presence, its expansive nature can be missed if not specifically evaluated.   𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜?

𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠… It’s been 4 years since the Dallas Independent School District (DISD) had a record-breaking $3.47B in bonds pass, enabling them to resolve issues with aging campuses in high-poverty neighborhoods. Today, that planning is paying off. The John Lewis Social Justice Academy, a new school at the O.W. Holmes site in Dallas, has broken ground. We’re proud and honored to be part of this historic community transformation alongside Miller Sierra Contractors, Inc. The project has over 200,000 sqft of VoidForm products under it to guard against expansive soil damage. Kudos to Miller Sierra and the DISD community for creating a safe, inspiring, and enduring environment for the students.

We sat down with David DiLuccia to talk about the first 5 years at VoidForm. With one burning question, he did not disappoint. Check it out. -- If I could shuttle back in time and give advice to my bright-eyed self on Day One as President of VoidForm, here's what I'd say: 1. 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤-𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 - chase work-life integration. This gig owns your soul for the next few years. Prepare your loved ones accordingly. 2. You'll be forced to 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝. Literal and metaphorical. Like that time we delivered 150 truckloads in a week beyond what was thought possible. Lean into the impossible. 3. Money is fueled by trail mix and coffee…but mostly coffee. 𝐔𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 however you can. 4. Celebrate hilariously. Whether it's a Flag Day-inspired shirt or a barrage of Anchorman quotes, 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 to this adrenaline-filled endeavor. 5. Five years in…the 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 forged in struggle are real. They will get you through the next five years. -- From all of us at VoidForm, Happy Anniversary David! #ceo #leadership #construction

𝟑 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐘𝐚𝐳𝐨𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐲 (It’s a prominent soil type in southern regions of the US). • Yazoo clay is a type of highly plastic clay soil found in the Mississippi Delta region. It is known for its high shrink-swell capacity, meaning it expands significantly when wet and contracts/cracks when dry. 200%+ is common. • The shrink-swell properties of Yazoo clay can cause major structural damage to buildings, roads, and other infrastructure if not properly accounted for during construction. Special foundation designs are often required in areas with Yazoo clay. • The same moisture changes that make Yazoo clay swell also weaken it. When dry, the clay is relatively strong. However, as it absorbs water, its shear strength, which is its resistance to sliding, plummets. This can lead to slope instability and even landslides.

VoidForm has expertise with this soil type and a new manufacturing facility located outside of Jackson, MS.

With over 700 educational facilities under our belt, there have been many lessons learned. Capform Inc. initially used regular carton form boxes for the basement of the new Texas Woman's University Health Science Center in Denton, Texas. However, because of the recent rainy conditions, they decided to go with StormVoid to avoid further delays. Over 45,000 sqft of VoidForm products now protect the structure from the damaging effects of expansive soil. Great job improving the structural longevity of our schools, Capform!
