HA         Hand Auger                                                          EX         Tracked Hydraulic Excavator



WATER
GROUNDWATER NOT             The observation of groundwater, whether present or not, was not possible due to drilling water,
OBSERVED                    surface seepage or cave in of the borehole/test pit.
GROUNDWATER NOT            The borehole/test pit was dry soon after excavation. However, groundwater could be present in
ENCOUNTERED                less permeable strata. Inflow may have been observed had the borehole/test pit been left open
                           for a longer period.

SAMPLING AND TESTING
SPT                Standard Penetration Test to AS1289.6.3.1-2004
5,4,10 N=14        5,4,10 = Blows per 150mm. N = Blows per 300mm penetration following 150mm seating
30/65mm            Where practical refusal occurs, the blows and penetration for that interval are reported
RW                 Penetration occurred under the rod weight only
HW                 Penetration occurred under the hammer and rod weight only
HB                 Hammer double bouncing on anvil
DS                 Disturbed sample
BDS                Bulk disturbed sample
FV                 Field vane shear test expressed as uncorrected shear strength (sv = peak value, sr = residual value)
PP                 Pocket penetrometer test expressed as instrument reading in kPa
U50                Thin walled tube sample - number indicates nominal sample diameter in millimetres
DCP                Dynamic cone penetration test
CPT                Electronic cone penetration test
CPTu               Electronic cone penetration test with pore pressure (u) measurement



                                                                                                                       Rev0
