Appendix D Engineering Site Servicing Report
The Target Stratum for the foundation of the structure at location BH2 is the CLAYEY
SAND at a depth of 1300mm 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 further 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.
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 BH2
DEPTH RANGE OF SAMPLE 1400-1700mm
LIQUID LIMIT (%) N/a
PLASTIC LIMIT (%) N/a
PLASTIC INDEX (%) N/a
LINEAR SHRINKAGE (%) N/a
INSTABILITY INDEX (%) N/a
SHRINK SWELL INDEX, Iss (%) 2.6
PREDICTED SURFACE MOVEMENT N/a
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)
