Appendix B - SCG Soil Test & Footing Report Dated 26-06-2019 · EXE23/0035

1     INTRODUCTION

SCG Consulting Engineers has performed a limited site investigation and established a site classification in
accordance with AS 2870-2011 and made recommendations based upon the classification for a building to be
constructed at the above site. This report does not include an assessment of Slope Stability, Landslide Risk, or
specifications for damp proofing, termite protection or moisture barriers.

This soil test and footing report relates only to the above property and the proposed construction as described
below:

                       Proposed Construction                        Residential Dwelling
                           External Walls                               Block/Timber
                           Internal Walls                                  Timber
                           Ground Floor                          Slab on Ground/Suspended
                          Building Platform                              Cut Fill Pad
                        Masonry Articulation                      Required @ 8 m centres

         This report must be read and considered as a whole. All of our recommendations, foundation
         plans, sections and appendices must be read, considered and followed by all people involved
         in this project including the client to ensure adequate long term performance of the footing
         system constructed on this site. A copy of this report must remain with the client or final
         owner of the building upon completion of the proposed works. If you are unsure of any
         of the requirements herein, you must seek clarification from this office.


2     SITE CLASSIFICATION

After considering the results of our field investigation performed on 21/05/2019 we have classified this site in
accordance with AS 2870-2011 as:

                                                    Class P

The classification has been calculated from test work performed on the soil profile encountered on the day of our
fieldwork and consideration of AS2870-2011. Any disturbance of the soil profile may result in a change to the
classification.

The ‘P’ classification relates to the loose sands encountered during our testing on site. Please refer to our
definitions list appended to this report for further descriptions of these characteristics.

With respect to potential surface movements through seasonal moisture variations, the site could be considered
equivalent to a class S site.

The site preparation details that follow have allowed for the influence of the earthworks described in section 5.0
below.

Site Classification: The site classification is calculated in accordance with the “AS2870-2011 Residential Slabs
and Footings-Construction” and relates to the estimation of Ys, “The characteristic surface movement” within
reactive soil profiles. The limits used for this classification are as follows:

                             Predicted Surface Movement         Classification

                             Ys = <=20mm                        S       Slight
                             Ys = >20 – 40mm                    M       Moderate
                             Ys = >40 – 60mm                    H1      High-1
                             Ys = 60 – 75mm                     H2      High-2
                             Ys = > 75mm                        E       Extreme

3     SITE DESCRIPTION

The construction area has a gradient in the order of 5%.

Vegetation on the construction area (and nearby surrounds) consists of grasses and scattered trees.
