       SECTION 3 - FIELDWORK
       3.1       Drilling and Sampling Methods

       The current investigation comprised the drilling and sampling of six bores (Bores 7 to 12, which have been
       numbered sequentially from the bores carried out for the previous ASS assessment). The current bores
       were drilled using a Jacro 350 drilling rig operating solid flight augers to 3m depth and wash bore drilling
       from 3m to the termination depth of the bores. Strata identification was from material returned to the surface
       by the augers and in the wash bore fluid, supplemented by inspection of Standard penetration test (SPT)
       samples, taken at selected depth intervals.

       3.2       Bore Locations

       Bore locations were limited by existing site development, were determined in the field by direct measurement
       from existing site features and are indicated approximately on the attached Drawing No. 1. The ground
       surface levels at the bore locations have been interpolated from contours given on PMM’s Combined Detail
       Survey Plan (Drawing No. 7328-03, dated 18 April 2007).

       A geotechnical engineer set out the test locations, logged the stratigraphy encountered in the bores and
       directed the in-situ sampling and testing program.
