Sam Hopper – Slope Stability Assessment and Geotechnical Report - Proposed Residence, 24 Arakon Crescent, Sunshine Beach




3.0 SITE ASSESSMENT AND DATA COLLECTION

    3.1 Field Investigation
Due to poor site access the subsurface conditions at the site were investigated by the drilling
and sampling of two hand augers. In addition, dynamic cone penetrometer tests were carried
out adjacent to the hand auger holes and at two other locations. A permeability test (P05) was
also undertaken on the site.

A site inspection by an Experienced Engineering Geologist, experienced in the assessment of
slope instability, was carried out.

The description of the materials encountered in the field investigation is subjective, based on
the experience and judgement of the rig/site supervisor and some variations in the description,
from the actual material type may occur.

The soil classification descriptions, field and laboratory testing were carried out in general
accordance with the following Australian Standards:-

          AS 1726                            Geotechnical Site Investigations
          AS 1289                            Methods of Testing Soils for Engineering Purposes

Notes relating to this report, borehole records and a site plan showing the location of the
boreholes are included in the Appendices.

    3.2 Site Location
The site is located at 24 Arakon Crescent, Sunshine Beach, also known as Lot 794 on
RP48111 (refer Figure 2). Access to the site is off Arakon Crescent (refer Figure 3).
