High PI clay Texas — 20,000 cubic yards of high plasticity index clay available from an active spoils pile in Manor, Travis County. The seller will load on site and material is available for immediate haul off. All material must be removed by early August 2026. The Blackland Prairie of central Texas is underlain by formations that weather into some of the most expansive clays in North America, making this Manor material consistent with the high PI clay widely used across Texas for embankment construction, pond liner applications, and moisture barrier work.

What is High PI Clay in Texas?
High PI clay Texas refers to expansive clay soil with a plasticity index above 30, indicating significant moisture sensitivity and shrink-swell potential. A plasticity index above 30 is where engineers start flagging serious concerns — Texas builds in high PI territory by default, with Houston Black clay routinely producing PI readings between 40 and 60. While high PI clay is often removed from building pads and foundation zones due to its expansive characteristics, it is a valued material for specific construction applications where its properties are an advantage rather than a liability. TxDOT and private contractors regularly specify high PI clay for embankment core construction, pond and lake liner systems, retention basin walls, and moisture barrier applications where low permeability and high plasticity are desirable. Texas has some of the most extensive expansive soils in the country, and the Blackland Prairie formation underlying Manor and Travis County produces some of the most consistent high PI clay material available in Central Texas.
Why This Listing Stands Out
- 20,000 CY available immediately — large volume ready for haul off now from an established spoils pile at the old Kimbro site in Manor.
- Seller loads on site — no need for the buyer to bring additional equipment. Loading is handled, reducing logistics burden for incoming haulers.
- Hard deadline creates urgency — all material must be removed by early August 2026, creating a motivated seller and a clear window for buyers to plan haul schedules.
- Central Texas location — Manor sits in Travis County on the eastern edge of the Austin metro, convenient for contractors and project teams operating across Travis, Williamson, Bastrop, and surrounding counties.
- Consistent Blackland Prairie clay — Manor's native geology produces reliable high PI expansive clay consistent with TxDOT embankment and liner specifications across Central Texas.
Best Uses
- Embankment core and fill construction
- Pond and lake liner systems
- Retention basin and detention pond wall construction
- Moisture barrier and low-permeability fill layers
- Dam and levee earthwork
- Landfill cap and liner applications
- Agricultural pond construction
- Earthen berm and slope construction

Frequently Asked Questions
What is high PI clay and what is it used for?
High PI clay is expansive clay soil with a plasticity index above 30, meaning it has significant moisture retention and low permeability characteristics. While it is removed from building pads and foundation zones, it is specifically sought for embankment construction, pond liner systems, retention basin walls, and moisture barrier applications where low permeability is required.
