Question Are you familiar with this type of foundation?

Any experience with these systems or input would be appreciated.

The majority of the soils within a 50-100 mile radius from me is expansive clay with some of the most expansive in the state.

I'm starting to think I'm from Missouri, "Show me".

Didn't look like there was a moisture barrier installed in the photo right before the pour.
