1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to classify the subject allotment in accordance with Australian Standard
2870 - 2011 'Residential Slabs and Footings'. From this classification, a footing system can be
recommended for the structure so as to allow adequate performance of the footings under the soil
conditions determined at the site.
Trees: There are medium (5-10m) and large (>10m) trees at this site. Global Testing recommends an
experienced arborist be commissioned to quantify the existing size, location, predicted maximum
height and type of these trees to aid in the design process. It is the responsibility of the designing
engineer to apply the principals of AS2870-2011 Appendix H 'Guide to Design of Footings for Trees'.
The classification herein excludes the effect of trees on the site.
