Page text shows just the words. Original shows the document exactly as it was published.

       The Target Stratum for the foundation of the structure at location BH1 is the
       WEATHERED ROCK at a depth of 2800mm below existing ground level.

       The Target Stratum for the foundation of the structure at location BH2 is the
       WEATHERED ROCK at a depth of 1000mm below existing ground level.

       It is the designing engineer’s responsibility to address the potential influence of any trees
       present on or around the proposed building site.

       If any fill is placed over the existing ground, the structure shall be piered through the fill
       into the existing material. Further note that the placement of reactive material as fill or
       cutting of the site may change the site’s classification.

       PLEASE NOTE: This report does not address slope stability. If a slope stability analysis
       is required, the services of a suitably qualified geotechnical engineer should be sought.

   4. SOIL PROFILE

       Refer to Soil Profile Report for borelog information

       Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the borelogs carried out at the subject allotment
       are indicative of the soil profile over the site any discrepancy between the profile detailed in
       the borelogs and that observed during construction shall be referred to Global Testing for
       immediate attention.

   5. MATERIALS LABORATORY TEST RESULTS

       Soil Laboratory testing carried out on samples of the soil taken from the site gave the following
       results:
                 BOREHOLE                                                  BH1
                 DEPTH RANGE OF SAMPLE                                 400-800mm
                 LIQUID LIMIT (%)                                          N/a
                 PLASTIC LIMIT (%)                                         N/a
                 PLASTIC INDEX (%)                                         N/a
                 LINEAR SHRINKAGE (%)                                      N/a
                 INSTABILITY INDEX (%)                                     N/a
                 SHRINK SWELL INDEX, Iss (%)                                2.8
                 PREDICTED SURFACE MOVEMENT                               30mm

       Please note that the Plasticity Index (PI) determined by the Atterberg Test may be correlated to
       an Instability Index (Ips)with reference to the results of extensive testing carried out by others,
       notably, Dr P Mitchell, ‘Footings for Small Scale Domestic Structures,’ March 1990.

       Yours Sincerely,




MICHAEL PINKNEY. (Laboratory Manager)
