210055 - 327 Kinmond Creek Road, COOTHARABA - Site Classification Report
The Target Stratum for the foundation of the structure is the SILTY SAND at 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.
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 N/a
DEPTH RANGE OF SAMPLE N/a
LIQUID LIMIT (%) N/a
PLASTIC LIMIT (%) N/a
PLASTIC INDEX (%) N/a
LINEAR SHRINKAGE (%) N/a
INSTABILITY INDEX (%) N/a
SHRINK SWELL INDEX, Iss (%) N/a
PREDICTED SURFACE MOVEMENT 25mm
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)
