This is beam itself, waffle pod doesn't have any footings, it sits on ground itself.
But it really sucks that the soil has moved under your beam. If the water from this disconnected stormwater pipe was there, you have high odds of running into a slab heave or your slab can even crack.
Can you check your engineering drawings wether your waffle pod is sitting on piers?
It seems you would need a qualified building inspector to take a look at this one straight away.

It's not normal as the slab will have been laid directly on a base.
I can think of a few reasons why this has occurred so you need to get a professional in to check out the reasons and suggest an appropriate remedial treatment.
If the house is less than 10 years old the builders structural guarantee should apply.

Thanks for the reply Alex, I’ll check out a local building inspector,
Go to an engineer too.

The Soil classification has little to do with piers. The purpose of the classing of the soil is to identify the clay content and the "average expected range of movement…
