Introduction

As requested a preliminary site investigation has been carried
out, at the above address, in order to collect information
regarding the foundation conditions at the site. Further, more
specific site investigation should be carried out for individual
structures, once a final site layout has been designed.

This report should be read in conjunction with our attached
‘General Notes’.

Site Description

The site is located to the west of Ben Lexen Drive, Sunrise Beach,
and covers blocks on both the north and south side of Grasstree
Court (see Figure 1).

At the time of the investigation, the two blocks sloped to the
west (see Figure 1). Both blocks were densely vegetated with
mature shrubs and trees (see Figure 2).

Proposed Construction

It is understood that the proposed construction at the site is to
comprise one and two storey apartment buildings, detached
residences and central facilities buildings which are to be linked
by service roads.

Investigation Work

Fieldwork for the investigation was carried out on the 7 May
2008, and included the drilling of ten boreholes at the positions
shown on Figure 3. The material encountered at the borehole
locations is described on the attached borehole log sheets, see
Appendix A. Dynamic cone penetrometer tests were also carried
out at each borehole location and these tabulated test results are
included on the borehole logs.

Particle size distribution testing was carried out on four samples
recovered from the boreholes, with a further sample tested for
dispersion percentage via the double hydrometer method. Two
samples were also tested for California Bearing Ratio. All test
certificates are attached in appendix B.
