Foundation Conditions in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City is built on Permian Red Beds — alternating layers of red shale, sandstone, and gypsum that weather to highly expansive red clay soils. The expansive soils cause widespread residential foundation damage, making foundation repair one of the most active segments of the local construction market. Gypsum layers within the formation dissolve over time, creating voids and sinkholes that can affect foundations. Deep foundations (drilled shafts) are standard for commercial and institutional construction, typically bearing on sandstone layers within the Red Beds formation. The energy industry drives demand for industrial foundations for refineries, pipelines, and processing facilities.
