11.0 LIMITATIONS AND DEFINITIONS:

Field Testing Limitations The soil profiles reported in our Log Section should be representative
of the soil conditions over this site. In some cases soil conditions may change dramatically over short
distances, therefore exploration programs may not locate all variations. If site excavations reveal soil
conditions that are different from those shown in the attached log sections we must be immediately
notified. Changes to the site classification and/or footing design may be necessary.

Client Supplied Information In writing this report we have considered all the information supplied to
us by the client. Should the client or his agent have omitted to supply us with relevant information our
report may be irrelevant and / or inappropriate. We do not take responsibility for the consequences in
such cases and we will make an additional charge if as a result, more testing or re-writing of the report
is necessary.

Definitions:

Controlled Fill - Man placed soil which has sufficient bearing to support a structure according to AS
2870-1996. Fill certified at Level 1 according to AS 3798 is controlled fill.

Partially Controlled - Man placed soil which appears to have been compacted under controlled
conditions, but as the time of preparing this report, no compaction certificate suitable for compliance to
Level 1 of AS 3798-1996 had been presented.

Uncontrolled Fill - Man placed soil (overlying the natural soils) which is not adequate to support a
normally loaded footing or floor slab.

Unexcavatable Rock - Strong material including shaley material and strongly cemented sand or gravel
that does not soften in water or collapse under the combination of loading and wetting. Material that
cannot readily be excavated by a backhoe may be taken to be rock.

Excavatable Rock - A rock-like material which does not shrink or swell with changes in soil moisture,
but is readily excavatable with a conventional backhoe.

Natural (Strata) ~ Refers to soil that is neither fill or imported material but one that is in its original
undisturbed state and position.

Gravel - Coarse soil particles, larger than sand size, but less than 60mm in diameter.

Boulders - Rocks larger than 600mm in diameter.

testing, accepted engineering theory and discussions with, and information supplied by our
