Brisbane Acid Sulfate Soils and Queenslander Understorey Slabs

Brisbane has significant acid sulfate soil zones in low-lying areas near waterways and flood plains (Rocklea, Oxley, low-lying parts of the inner south), excavating into acid sulfate soils releases sulfuric acid that can damage concrete; specialist concrete mixes and soil management are required.
