2.6 SOILS
An investigation of the soil profile was conducted under the direction of FPE on site 11 October 2016. The
soil profile logs were recorded at two locations across the site. A total of two boreholes were advanced in
the vicinity of the proposed development works. A copy of the soil profile logs has been provided as
Appendix A of this report.
