Appendix E - Geotechnical site classification report · MCU25/0022

PROJECT NO.: 23/8894                                                            19th JULY 2023

4.      FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS (Cont.):
        Where slabs are constructed over any Uncontrolled Fill, the slab foundations will need to
        assessed by the design engineer with all foundations supported through the fill on piers into
        the underlying dense weathered siltstone
        All foundations shall be designed by an experienced registered professional engineer.

        Attention should also be given to erosion protection of cut and filled batters.
        It is recommended that all batters incorporate crest and toe drainage. The batters should also
        be covered with topsoil and vegetation to provide long term erosion protection.

        Before construction proceeds the locations and depths of any surrounding underground
        services should be determined to ensure they do not interfere with the proposed
        foundations.



5.      GENERAL: The test sites have been located to be reasonably representative of foundation
        conditions. Should any variation of foundation conditions be encountered during
        construction, the Engineer should be notified before proceeding, so any necessary changes to
        construction can be made. Footings excavation and reinforcement placement should be
        checked before the placement of concrete.

        Based on the assessment of the Field Testing, the site is considered suitable for the proposed
        development provided the recommendations set out in this report are adhered to.

        Yours faithfully,
