1 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of a geotechnical investigation for a proposed Warehouse Z at 222
to 236 Parramatta Road, Homebush West, NSW. The investigation was commissioned by
Mr Martin Forster of Sydney Markets Limited, and was carried out in accordance with our proposal
dated 23 May 2016, Ref: P42515B.
As shown on the supplied architectural plans by Koturic and Co. Pty Ltd (Job No. 1602, Drawing
No. WS-01, 02 and 03, dated April 2016) the proposed development will comprise construction of
a new warehouse following demolition of the existing structures. The warehouse will extend to the
eastern, western and southern boundaries and will be setback 6m from its northern boundary. On
part of the southern side of the warehouse will be an external loading dock pavement, accessed off
Dalton Avenue. A basement car park is proposed below the main warehouse, with the basement
level at RL5.75m. This will require excavation ranging from about 0.5m at the western end to about
4m at the eastern end. The warehouse will contain a mezzanine office level.
We understand that an alternate development option is being considered with two basement levels
below the warehouse. We have assumed that this option would require excavation to maximum
depths of about 7m.
The purpose of the investigation was to obtain geotechnical information on subsurface conditions
as a basis for comments and recommendations on excavation, groundwater, retention, footings
and pavement design.
This geotechnical investigation was carried out in conjunction with a Stage 2 Environmental Site
Assessment by our specialist division, Environmental Investigation Services (EIS). Reference
should be made to the separate report by EIS, Ref: E26831Krpt2, for the results of the
environmental site assessment.
2 INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE
Boreholes BH101 to BH108 were auger drilled using our truck mounted JK350 rig to depths ranging
from 5.7m to 9m below the existing ground surface. The borehole locations, as shown on Figure 2,
were dictated to some extent by cars and other stored equipment throughout the site and were set
out using taped measurements from existing surface features. The approximate surface levels, as
shown on the borehole logs, were estimated by interpolation between spot levels and contours
26831SBrpt Page 2
shown on the supplied survey plan by CBD Surveying Services Pty Ltd (Ref: 357212, dated
23/10/12). The datum of the levels is Australian Height Datum (AHD).
The apparent compaction of the fill and the strength of the natural soils were assessed from
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) ‘N’ values, augmented by hand penetrometer readings on
cohesive samples recovered in the SPT split tube sampler. The strength of the underlying shale
bedrock was assessed by observation of the auger penetration resistance using a tungsten carbide
(TC) drill bit, together with examination of the recovered rock cuttings and subsequent correlations
with moisture content test results. It should be noted that strengths assessed in this way are
approximate and variances of one strength order should not be unexpected.
Groundwater observations were made during and on completion of auger drilling. Groundwater
monitoring wells were installed within BH102 and BH107 on completion and groundwater
measurements taken by EIS 7 days after drilling. No longer term groundwater monitoring has been
carried out.
Our geotechnical engineer, Mr Michael Serra, was present full time on site during the fieldwork and
set out the borehole locations, nominated the sampling and testing, and logged the subsurface
profile. The borehole logs are presented with this report, together with a set of explanatory notes,
which describe the investigation techniques, and their limitations, and define the logging terms and
symbols used.
Selected samples were returned to Soil Test Services Pty Ltd (STS) and Envirolab Services Pty
Ltd, both NATA accredited laboratories, for testing to determine moisture contents, Atterberg limits,
linear shrinkages, standard compaction properties, four day soaked CBR values, pH, sulphate
content, chloride content and resistivity. The results of the laboratory testing are summarised in
STS Tables A and B and Envirolab report No. 147992. Samples were also collected from the
boreholes for testing as part of the environmental site assessment by EIS.
3 RESULTS OF INVESTIGATION
3.1 Site Description
The site is located within gently undulating terrain, and itself slopes down towards the north-west
at about 2 to 5. The site consists of seven allotments, but is operating as four properties, 222,
232, 234 and 236 Parramatta Road, from east to west.
26831SBrpt Page 3
At the time of the investigation all four properties where trading as car yards and/or mechanics
workshops. The site was occupied by numerous metal and brick, one and two storey structures,
separated by concrete, asphaltic concrete (AC) and bituminous (sprayed seal) pavements. The
structures and pavement appeared in fair to good external condition based upon a cursory
inspection; with some cracking noted within the pavements.
The site is bound to the north by Parramatta Road and to the south by Dalton Avenue. On the
southern side of Dalton Avenue is a large metal clad warehouse, retained about 2m above Dalton
Avenue by a concrete retaining wall at its western end and level with Dalton Avenue at its eastern
end. To the west of the site is a service station consisting of a rendered brick and metal building
surrounded by concrete pavements, petrol tanks and bowsers and metal awnings; one of which
adjoins the western boundary of the subject site. The building appeared to be in good external
condition based upon a cursory inspection.
To the east is another caryard (218 to 220 Parramatta Road) and a vacant lot (Part of 1 to 9
Smallwood Avenue). No. 218 to 220 Parramatta Road comprises mainly concrete pavements with
a rendered brick structure located in its south-eastern corner. No. 1 to 9 Smallwood Avenue has a
gravel surface surrounded by colourbond fencing.
3.2 Subsurface Conditions
Reference to the Sydney 1:100,000 geological series sheet indicates that the site is underlain by
Ashfield Shale of the Wianamatta Group.
In summary, the boreholes encountered concrete, asphaltic concrete (AC) and bituminous
pavements and predominantly shallow fill covering residual silty clay that graded into weathered
shale. Further comments on the subsurface conditions encountered are provided below.
Reference should be made to the borehole logs for detailed descriptions of the subsurface
conditions encountered. A graphical summary of the borehole information is presented as Figure 3.
Pavements
The pavements at the site vary, with asphaltic concrete (AC) encountered in BH104 to BH106 of
and 40mm to 50mm thickness; concrete encountered below the AC in BH6 of 150mm thickness;
concrete encountered in BH102, BH107 and BH108 of 70mm to 150mm thickness; and a
bituminous sprayed seal encountered in BH101 and BH103.
26831SBrpt Page 4
Fill
Fill was encountered in all boreholes to depths ranging from 0.3m to 1.0m. This fill predominantly
comprised silty clay with igneous, sandstone and ironstone gravel. In general, the fill was assessed
to be moderately compacted.
Residual Silty Clay
The residual silty clay was assessed to be of high plasticity and generally of very stiff to hard
strength.
Weathered Shale
Weathered shale was encountered in all boreholes at depths ranging from 2.0m to 3.8m. Generally,
the shale was assessed to be extremely weathered and of extremely low strength on first contact
with bands of medium strength iron indurated shale. With depth the shale was assessed to be
distinctly weathered and then slightly weathered and of low strength and then medium strength.
Shale of at least low strength was encountered below depths ranging from 3.5m to 5.5m. BH102
to BH107 refused within high strength shale at depths ranging from 5.7m to 7.4m, with BH101 and
BH108 able to be drilled to depths of 9m.
Groundwater
Groundwater was measured on completion of BH101 to BH103 and BH106 to BH108 at variable
depths ranging from 2.7m to 8.5m. Within the monitoring wells installed in BH102 and BH107,
groundwater level were measured by EIS 7 days after drilling at depths of 0.9m and 3.14m,
respectively.
3.3 Laboratory Test Results
Based on the Atterberg limits and linear shrinkage test results, the silty clay samples tested are of
high plasticity and are assessed to have a moderate potential for shrink/swell reactivity with
changes in moisture content.
The four day soaked CBR tests on samples of the silty clay compacted to 98% of its Standard
Maximum Dry Density (SMDD) gave CBR values of 2.5% and 3.0%.
The moisture content test results on samples of the shale showed reasonably good correlation with
our field assessment of rock strength.
26831SBrpt Page 5
The soil pH values of the samples tested ranged from 5.0 to 7.2, indicating alkaline to acidic
conditions. The sulphate contents ranged from 48mg/kg to 98mg/kg, the chloride contents ranged
from <10mg/kg to 230mg/kg and the resistivity values ranged from 48ohm.m to 190ohm.m. Based
on these results the weathered shale would be classified as ‘non-aggressive’ and the silty clay
would be classified as ‘mild’ exposure classification for concrete piles in accordance with Table
6.4.2(C) of AS2159-2009 ‘Piling – Design and Installation’. For steel piles, both the silty clay and
weathered shale would be classified as ‘non-aggressive’ exposure classification in accordance with
Table 6.5.2(C) of AS2159-2009.
4 COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
As shown on the current architectural drawings the proposed warehouse will have one basement
level with excavations ranging from about 0.5m to 4m. However, we understand that the proposed
development may be revised to comprise two basement levels, where we assume excavation may
extend to depths of about 7m. The comments and recommendations provided herein are
predominantly relevant to the proposed one basement level, but include comments for the option
of a second basement level if that is to be pursued.
4.1 Excavation
Prior to the start of excavation, we recommend that it would be prudent to carry out dilapidation
surveys on the adjoining properties to the east and west, as these would help to guard against
opportunistic claims for damage that was present prior to the start of excavation. The dilapidation
surveys should comprise detailed inspections of the adjoining properties, both externally and
internally, with all defects rigorously described, i.e. defect type, defect location, crack width, crack
length, etc. The respective owners of the adjoining properties should be asked to confirm that the
dilapidation surveys represent a fair record of actual conditions.
Excavation to the required depths for one basement level of 0.5m to 4m will encounter surface fill,
residual silty clay and weathered shale of up to low strength. If deeper excavations are carried out
for two basement levels, shale of medium strength, or possibly high strength, may be encountered.
Excavation of the soils and possibly the upper extremely weathered shale, should be able to be
achieved using conventional excavation equipment, such as the buckets of hydraulic excavators.
Excavation of the shale of low or higher strength will require assistance with rock excavation
equipment, such as hydraulic rock hammers, ripping hooks, rotary grinder or rock saws.
26831SBrpt Page 6
Hydraulic rock hammers must be used with care, due to the risk of damage to adjacent structures
form vibrations transmitted by such equipment. However, given that most of the rock excavation
will be at the eastern end of the site and the structures within the adjoining property are located
away from the boundary this risk would be low. Nevertheless, we recommend that rock excavation
be commenced away from the site boundaries and the transmitted vibrations quantitatively
monitored to assess how close the rock hammer can operate to the adjoining structures while
maintaining transmitted vibrations within acceptable limits. Reference should be made to the
attached Vibration Emission Design Goals sheet for acceptable limits of transmitted vibrations.
Where the transmitted vibrations are excessive it would be necessary to change to alternative
excavation equipment, such as ripping hooks, rotary grinders or rock saws.
If two basement levels are proposed the excavation is likely to encounter shale of medium or high
strength and this may represent ‘hard rock’ excavation conditions and decreased productivity and
increased equipment wear should be expected.
4.2 Groundwater
Groundwater was encountered on completion of drilling at variable depths ranging from 2.7m to
8.5m and groundwater was measured within the monitoring wells at depths of 0.9m and 3.14m.
Due to the variable groundwater levels, we consider that the water is seepage within the residual
silty clays and weathered shale and not the long term standing groundwater level.
Allowance should be made for seepage into the excavation and this would tend to occur along the
soil/rock interface and through joints and bedding partings within the shale, particularly during and
following rainfall. Given the low permeability of the clays and shale such seepage should be able
to be controlled using conventional sump and pump techniques. In the long term, drainage should
be provided behind all retaining walls and possibly below the basement slab. The completed
excavation should be inspected by the hydraulic consultant to confirm that the designed drainage
system is adequate for the actual seepage flows.
It is possible that approval for this development may be required from the NSW Department of
Primary Industries, Water, particularly if two basement levels are adopted. DPI Water may require
seepage analysis to assess the volume of water that will need to be removed during excavation
and in the long term. If this volume is above the DPI Water limit they may require a license for
extraction of the seepage during construction and may require a tanked basement to be designed.
The subsurface profile at this site does not necessitate a tanked basement as seepage inflows can
26831SBrpt Page 7
be managed with a normal drainage system, and any such requirement would be due to the DPI
Water.
4.3 Retention
The retention required will depend on the depth of excavation and the space available within the
site and may vary across the site. At the western end where excavations are limited, temporary
batters and cantilevered retaining walls may be appropriate, but at the eastern end where
excavations are deeper retention systems may need to be installed prior to the start of excavation.
If two basements are adopted, full depth retention systems installed prior to the start of excavation
are likely to be required for the entire basement perimeter.
Where space permits and excavations are limited to no more than about 3m, temporary batters
within the clays and weathered shale should be no steeper than 1 Vertical in 1 Horizontal (1V:1H).
Such batters should remain stable in the short term provided all surcharge loads, including
construction loads, are kept well clear of the crest of the batters. Permanent batters, if required,
should be no steeper than 1V:2H, but flatter batters of the order of 1V:3H may be preferred to allow
access for maintenance of vegetation. Permanent batters should be covered with topsoil and
planted with a deep rooted runner grass, or other suitable coverings, to reduce erosion. All
stormwater runoff should be directed away from all temporary and permanent batters to also reduce
erosion.
Where the batters cannot be accommodated, are not preferred, or where excavations are deeper
than about 3m, full depth retention systems should be installed prior to the start of excavation. As
no structures are present on the boundaries, such retention system may comprised soldier pile
walls with shotcrete infill panels. However, if two basements are proposed a closer spacing of
soldier piles may be preferred to limit the deflections adjacent to the awning within the adjoining
property to the west.
Bored piers may be used for the soldier piles, although some groundwater seepage may be
experienced requiring the use of pumps and tremie concreting techniques. The piles should be
founded at least 0.5m below the base of the proposed excavation, including local excavations for
footings and services. Even though shale will be encountered within the excavation, potentially of
medium to high strength if two basements are adopted, we do not recommend terminating the
retention systems above the base of the excavation due to the potential for inclined joints within the
shale, which are known to occur, and the long term durability of exposed shale.
26831SBrpt Page 8
Retaining walls of no more than about 3m in height may be designed as cantilevered walls based
on a triangular lateral pressure distribution. Where some resulting movement is acceptable, and
adjacent structures and movement sensitive services are located beyond a distance from the wall
of at least twice the retained height, an active earth pressure coefficient, Ka, of 0.33 and a bulk unit
weight of 20kN/m3 may be used.
Where walls retain more than about 3m additional lateral support would be required in the form of
external anchors or internal props, with each restraining point installed progressively as it is
exposed during excavation. Long term lateral support would be provided by the floor slabs within
the excavation and the toe socket of the piles. Permission would need to be obtained from the
owners of adjoining properties prior to the installation of anchors below their properties. Such
permission can take some time to obtain, which should be allowed for within the project program.
Propped or anchored retaining walls may be designed based on a trapezoidal lateral pressure
distribution of 6H kPa, where H is the retained height in metres, where structures and movement
sensitive services are located beyond 2H of the wall. Where structures or movement sensitive
services are located within 2H of the wall, a trapezoidal lateral pressure distribution of 8H kPa
should be used. These lateral pressures should be held constant for the central 50% of the
trapezoidal distribution.
The above coefficients and lateral pressures assume horizontal backfill surfaces and where inclined
backfill is proposed the coefficients or pressures would need to be increased or the inclined backfill
taken as a surcharge load. All surcharge loads should be allowed for in the design, plus full
hydrostatic pressures, unless measures are undertaken to provide complete and permanent
drainage behind the wall.
Anchors should have their bond within shale beyond a line drawn up at 45 from the base of the
excavation. Anchors may be preliminarily designed based on an allowable bond stress of 150kPa
for shale of at least low strength. Anchors should be proof loaded to at least 1.3 times their design
working load before locking off at about 80% of their working load. Lift-off tests should be carried
out on at least 10% of the anchors 24 to 48 hours following locking off to confirm that the anchors
are holding their load. Anchors are generally completed based on a design and construct basis to
avoid contractual disputes arising if the anchors fail to hold their design load.
Where the toe of the piles extend below the base of the excavation, including local footing and
service excavations, a maximum allowable lateral resistance of 200kPa may be used for shale of
26831SBrpt Page 9
at least low strength. The lateral resistance should be ignored for a depth of at least 0.3m below
the base of the excavation to allow for disturbance effects from the excavation.
Where batters are used, the space between the batters and the permanent retaining walls will need
to be carefully backfilled to reduce future settlement of the backfill. Only light compaction equipment
should be used for compaction behind retaining walls so that excessive lateral pressures are not
placed on the walls. This will require the backfill to be placed in thin layers, say 100mm loose
thickness, appropriate to the compaction equipment being used. The excavated clay and shale will
be difficult to properly compact within the limited space available behind the walls and consideration
should be given to the use of more readily compactable materials, such as ripped or crushed rock.
The compaction specification for the backfill will depend on whether paving or structures are to be
supported on the fill. If the fill is to support paved areas it should be compacted to a density of at
least 98% of Standard Maximum Dry Density (SMDD) for granular fill materials, but if it is only to
support landscaped areas a lower compaction specification, say 95% of SMDD, may be
appropriate, provided the risk of future settlement and maintenance can be accepted. If clay and
shale fill is to be used a greater control of fill compaction and moisture control will be required and
further geotechnical advice on the use of such material should be obtained. An alternative for
backfill would also be to use a uniform granular material, such as crushed concrete of 30mm to
70mm in size, surrounded in a geofabric and a capping layer of low permeability material.
4.4 Footings
Since shale will be encountered within the deeper excavations, the proposed building should be
supported entirely on footings founded within the shale to provide uniform support and reduce the
risk of differential settlements. For the one basement proposed we expect that shale will be
exposed at the bulk excavation level for about the eastern half of the site, with the shale ranging in
strength from extremely low to low strength. If two basements are adopted shale would be
encountered for the majority of the site, with shale of medium or high strength encountered within
the deeper excavations.
Where shale is exposed or is at depths of less than about 1m pad or strip footings would be
appropriate. Where the depth to the shale is more than about 1m bored piers would be more
appropriate.
Footings founded within the shale may be designed based on allowable bearing pressure of 700kPa
for shale of extremely low strength, 1000kPa for shale of very low strength and 1200kPa for shale
of low or higher strength. Where piers are adopted, an allowable shaft adhesion of 10% of these
26831SBrpt Page 10
allowable bearing pressures for compression loads and 5% for uplift loads may be used, provided
socket cleanliness and roughness is maintained.
At least the initial stages of footing excavation or pier drilling should be inspected by a geotechnical
engineer to confirm that the appropriate foundation material has been encountered. The need for
additional inspections should be assessed following the initial inspection depending on the bearing
pressure adopted and any variations between the borehole locations.
Higher bearing pressures would be appropriate within the shale of medium to high strength, say of
the order of 3500kPa, but additional cored boreholes would be required to confirm the quality of the
shale and allow the use of such bearing pressures. Piers would be required to reach the medium
to high strength shale, however, if two basements are adopted pad footings may be appropriate
within the deeper excavations. If higher bearing pressures are required the structural engineer
should advise where the higher loads will be so that the cored boreholes can be targeted to those
locations.
4.5 Pavements and Floor Slabs
For the one basement level the basement slab will be cast on residual silty clay at the western end
and weathered shale at the eastern end. If two basement levels are adopted, weathered shale is
expected to be encountered within the majority of the excavation. The external pavement proposed
on the southern side of the building will be cast on a predominantly residual silty clay subgrade.
The soil subgrade areas, both for the external pavement and the basement slab, should be proof
rolled with a least 7 passes of a minimum 8 tonne deadweight, smooth drum, vibratory roller. The
final pass of the roller should be carried out without vibration and in the presence of a geotechnical
engineer to detect any weak subgrade areas. Any weak areas detected should be locally excavated
to a sound base and the excavated material replaced with engineered fill. Any additional fill required
should also be placed and compacted as engineered fill.
Engineered fill should preferably comprise well graded granular materials, such as ripped rock or
crushed sandstone, free of deleterious substances and having a maximum particle size not
exceeding 75mm. Such fill should be compacted in horizontal layers of not greater than 200mm
loose thickness, to a density of at least 98% of Standard Maximum Dry Density (SMDD). For
backfilling confined excavations such as service trenches, a similar compaction to engineered fill
should be adhered to, but if light compaction equipment is used then the layer thickness should be
limited to 100mm loose thickness.
26831SBrpt Page 11
The excavated clay and weathered shale may be reused as engineered fill provided it is free of
deleterious materials and particles in excess of 75mm in size. Any clay fill should be compacted
strictly between 98% and 102% of SMDD at moisture contents within 2% of Standard Optimum
Moisture Content (SOMC).
Density tests should be regularly carried out on the fill to confirm the above specifications are
achieved. The frequency of density testing should be at least one test per layer per 500m2 or three
tests per visit, whichever requires the most tests. Preferably the geotechnical testing authority
should be engaged directly on behalf of the client and not by the earthworks subcontractor.
Provided the subgrade is prepared as detailed above it may be designed based on a soaked CBR
value of 2.5%, or an estimated modulus of subgrade reaction of 20kPa/mm (750mm plate). Where
fill is used to raise site levels, or replace unsuitable subgrade by the appropriate depth, pavement
design may reflect the thickness and four day soaked CBR value of the imported material.
Surface and subsoil drainage should be provided on the high side of the pavements to prevent
moisture ingress into the subgrade and pavement. The subsoil drains should have an invert level
at least 300mm below the adjacent subgrade level and be excavated with a uniform longitudinal fall
to appropriate discharge points so as to reduce the risk of ponding in the base of the drain. In
addition, the surface of the adjacent pavement subgrade should be provided with a uniform cross
fall towards the subsoil drain to assist with drainage.
Concrete pavements should have a subbase layer of at least 100mm thickness of crushed rock to
RMS QA specification 3051 (2013) unbound base material (or similar good quality and durable fine
crushed rock), which is compacted to at least 100% of SMDD. Concrete pavements should be
designed with an effective shear transmission at all joints by way of either doweled or keyed joints.
5 GENERAL COMMENTS
The recommendations presented in this report include specific issues to be addressed during the
construction phase of the project. In the event that any of the construction phase recommendations
presented in this report are not implemented, the general recommendations may become
inapplicable and JK Geotechnics accept no responsibility whatsoever for the performance of the
structure where recommendations are not implemented in full and properly tested, inspected and
documented.
26831SBrpt Page 12
The long term successful performance of floor slabs and pavements is dependent on the
satisfactory completion of the earthworks. In order to achieve this, the quality assurance program
should not be limited to routine compaction density testing only. Other critical factors associated
with the earthworks may include subgrade preparation, selection of fill materials, control of moisture
content and drainage, etc. The satisfactory control and assessment of these items may require
judgment from an experienced engineer. Such judgment often cannot be made by a technician
who may not have formal engineering qualifications and experience. In order to identify potential
problems, we recommend that a pre-construction meeting be held so that all parties involved
understand the earthworks requirements and potential difficulties. This meeting should clearly
define the lines of communication and responsibility.
Occasionally, the subsurface conditions between the completed boreholes may be found to be
different (or may be interpreted to be different) from those expected. Variation can also occur with
groundwater conditions, especially after climatic changes. If such differences appear to exist, we
recommend that you immediately contact this office.
This report provides advice on geotechnical aspects for the proposed civil and structural design.
As part of the documentation stage of this project, Contract Documents and Specifications may be
prepared based on our report. However, there may be design features we are not aware of or have
not commented on for a variety of reasons. The designers should satisfy themselves that all the
necessary advice has been obtained. If required, we could be commissioned to review the
geotechnical aspects of contract documents to confirm the intent of our recommendations has been
correctly implemented.

Method ID Methodology Summary
Inorg-001 pH - Measured using pH meter and electrode in accordance with APHA latest edition, 4500-H+. Please note
that the results for water analyses are indicative only, as analysis outside of the APHA storage times.
Inorg-081 Anions - a range of Anions are determined by Ion Chromatography, in accordance with APHA latest edition,
4110-B. Alternatively determined by colourimetry/turbidity using Discrete Analyer.
Inorg-002 Conductivity and Salinity - measured using a conductivity cell at 25oC in accordance with APHA 22nd ED 2510
and Rayment & Lyons. Resistivity is calculated from Conductivity.

Quality Control Definitions
Blank: This is the component of the analytical signal which is not derived from the sample but from reagents,
glassware etc, can be determined by processing solvents and reagents in exactly the same manner as for samples.
Duplicate : This is the complete duplicate analysis of a sample from the process batch. If possible, the sample
selected should be one where the analyte concentration is easily measurable.
Matrix Spike : A portion of the sample is spiked with a known concentration of target analyte. The purpose of the matrix
spike is to monitor the performance of the analytical method used and to determine whether matrix interferences exist.
LCS (Laboratory Control Sample) : This comprises either a standard reference material or a control matrix (such as a blank
sand or water) fortified with analytes representative of the analyte class. It is simply a check sample.
Surrogate Spike: Surrogates are known additions to each sample, blank, matrix spike and LCS in a batch, of compounds
which are similar to the analyte of interest, however are not expected to be found in real samples.
Laboratory Acceptance Criteria
Duplicate sample and matrix spike recoveries may not be reported on smaller jobs, however, were analysed at a frequency
to meet or exceed NEPM requirements. All samples are tested in batches of 20. The duplicate sample RPD and matrix
spike recoveries for the batch were within the laboratory acceptance criteria.
Filters, swabs, wipes, tubes and badges will not have duplicate data as the whole sample is generally extracted
during sample extraction.
Spikes for Physical and Aggregate Tests are not applicable.
For VOCs in water samples, three vials are required for duplicate or spike analysis.
Duplicates: <5xPQL - any RPD is acceptable; >5xPQL - 0-50% RPD is acceptable.
Matrix Spikes, LCS and Surrogate recoveries: Generally 70-130% for inorganics/metals; 60-140%
for organics (+/-50% surrogates) and 10-140% for labile SVOCs (including labile surrogates), ultra trace organics
and speciated phenols is acceptable.
In circumstances where no duplicate and/or sample spike has been reported at 1 in 10 and/or 1 in 20 samples
respectively, the sample volume submitted was insufficient in order to satisfy laboratory QA/QC protocols.
When samples are received where certain analytes are outside of recommended technical holding times (THTs),
the analysis has proceeded. Where analytes are on the verge of breaching THTs, every effort will be made to analyse
within the THT or as soon as practicable.
Where sampling dates are not provided, Envirolab are not in a position to comment on the validity
of the analysis where recommended technical holding times may have been breached.

VIBRATION EMISSION DESIGN GOALS German Standard DIN 4150 – Part 3: 1999 provides guideline levels of vibration velocity for evaluating the effects of vibration in structures. The limits presented in this standard are generally recognised to be conservative.
The DIN 4150 values (maximum levels measured in any direction at the foundation, OR, maximum levels measured in (x) or (y) horizontal directions, in the plane of the uppermost floor), are summarised in Table 1 below.
It should be noted that peak vibration velocities higher than the minimum figures in Table 1 for low frequencies may be quite ‘safe’, depending on the frequency content of the vibration and the actual condition of the structure.
It should also be noted that these levels are ‘safe limits’, up to which no damage due to vibration effects has been observed for the particular class of building. ‘Damage’ is defined by DIN 4150 to include even minor non-structural effects such as superficial cracking in cement render, the enlargement of cracks already present, and the separation of partitions or intermediate walls from load bearing walls. Should damage be observed at vibration levels lower than the ‘safe limits’, then it may be attributed to other causes. DIN 4150 also states that when vibration levels higher than the ‘safe limits’ are present, it does not necessarily follow that damage will occur. Values given are only a broad guide.

REPORT EXPLANATION NOTES
INTRODUCTION
These notes have been provided to amplify the geotechnicalreport in regard to classification methods, field proceduresand certain matters relating to the Comments andRecommendations section. Not all notes are necessarilyrelevant to all reports.
The ground is a product of continuing natural and man-made processes and therefore exhibits a variety ofcharacteristics and properties which vary from place to placeand can change with time. Geotechnical engineeringinvolves gathering and assimilating limited facts about thesecharacteristics and properties in order to understand orpredict the behaviour of the ground on a particular site undercertain conditions. This report may contain such factsobtained by inspection, excavation, probing, sampling,testing or other means of investigation. If so, they aredirectly relevant only to the ground at the place where andtime when the investigation was carried out.
DESCRIPTION AND CLASSIFICATION METHODS
The methods of description and classification of soils androcks used in this report are based on Australian Standard1726, the SAA Site Investigation Code. In general,descriptions cover the following properties – soil or rock type,colour, structure, strength or density, and inclusions.Identification and classification of soil and rock involvesjudgement and the Company infers accuracy only to theextent that is common in current geotechnical practice.
Soil types are described according to the predominatingparticle size and behaviour as set out in the attached UnifiedSoil Classification Table qualified by the grading of otherparticles present (e.g. sandy clay) as set out below:
Soil Classification Particle Size
Clay
Silt
Sand
Gravel
less than 0.002mm
0.002 to 0.075mm
0.075 to 2mm
2 to 60mm
Non-cohesive soils are classified on the basis of relativedensity, generally from the results of Standard PenetrationTest (SPT) as below:
Relative DensitySPT ‘N’ Value(blows/300mm)
Very loose
Loose
Medium dense
Dense
Very Dense
less than 4
4 – 10
10 – 30
30 – 50
greater than 50
Cohesive soils are classified on the basis of strength(consistency) either by use of hand penetrometer, laboratorytesting or engineering examination. The strength terms aredefined as follows.

Very Soft
Soft

25 – 50
50 – 100
100 – 200
200 – 400
Greater than 400
Strength not attainable
– soil crumbles
Rock types are classified by their geological names,together with descriptive terms regarding weathering,strength, defects, etc. Where relevant, further informationregarding rock classification is given in the text of the report.In the Sydney Basin, ‘Shale’ is used to describe thinlybedded to laminated siltstone.
SAMPLING
Sampling is carried out during drilling or from otherexcavations to allow engineering examination (andlaboratory testing where required) of the soil or rock.
Disturbed samples taken during drilling provide informationon plasticity, grain size, colour, moisture content, minorconstituents and, depending upon the degree of disturbance,some information on strength and structure. Bulk samplesare similar but of greater volume required for some testprocedures.
Undisturbed samples are taken by pushing a thin-walledsample tube, usually 50mm diameter (known as a U50), intothe soil and withdrawing it with a sample of the soilcontained in a relatively undisturbed state. Such samplesyield information on structure and strength, and arenecessary for laboratory determination of shear strengthand compressibility. Undisturbed sampling is generallyeffective only in cohesive soils.
Details of the type and method of sampling used are givenon the attached logs.
INVESTIGATION METHODS
The following is a brief summary of investigation methodscurrently adopted by the Company and some comments ontheir use and application. All except test pits, hand augerdrilling and portable dynamic cone penetrometers requirethe use of a mechanical drilling rig which is commonlymounted on a truck chassis.
JK GeotechnicsGEOTECHNICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS
JKG Report Explanation Notes Rev2 May 2013 Page 2 of 4
Test Pits: These are normally excavated with a backhoe ora tracked excavator, allowing close examination of the insitusoils if it is safe to descend into the pit. The depth ofpenetration is limited to about 3m for a backhoe and up to6m for an excavator. Limitations of test pits are the problemsassociated with disturbance and difficulty of reinstatementand the consequent effects on close-by structures. Caremust be taken if construction is to be carried out near test pitlocations to either properly recompact the backfill duringconstruction or to design and construct the structure so asnot to be adversely affected by poorly compacted backfill atthe test pit location.
Hand Auger Drilling: A borehole of 50mm to 100mmdiameter is advanced by manually operated equipment.Premature refusal of the hand augers can occur on a varietyof materials such as hard clay, gravel or ironstone, and doesnot necessarily indicate rock level.
Continuous Spiral Flight Augers: The borehole isadvanced using 75mm to 115mm diameter continuousspiral flight augers, which are withdrawn at intervals to allowsampling and insitu testing. This is a relatively economicalmeans of drilling in clays and in sands above the water table.Samples are returned to the surface by the flights or may becollected after withdrawal of the auger flights, but they canbe very disturbed and layers may become mixed.Information from the auger sampling (as distinct fromspecific sampling by SPTs or undisturbed samples) is ofrelatively lower reliability due to mixing or softening ofsamples by groundwater, or uncertainties as to the originaldepth of the samples. Augering below the groundwatertable is of even lesser reliability than augering above thewater table.
Rock Augering: Use can be made of a Tungsten Carbide(TC) bit for auger drilling into rock to indicate rock qualityand continuity by variation in drilling resistance and fromexamination of recovered rock fragments. This method ofinvestigation is quick and relatively inexpensive but providesonly an indication of the likely rock strength and predictedvalues may be in error by a strength order. Where rockstrengths may have a significant impact on constructionfeasibility or costs, then further investigation by means ofcored boreholes may be warranted.
Wash Boring: The borehole is usually advanced by arotary bit, with water being pumped down the drill rods andreturned up the annulus, carrying the drill cuttings.Only major changes in stratification can be determined fromthe cuttings, together with some information from “feel” andrate of penetration.
Mud Stabilised Drilling: Either Wash Boring orContinuous Core Drilling can use drilling mud as acirculating fluid to stabilise the borehole. The term ‘mud’encompasses a range of products ranging from bentonite topolymers such as Revert or Biogel. The mud tends to maskthe cuttings and reliable identification is only possible fromintermittent intact sampling (eg from SPT and U50 samples)or from rock coring, etc.
Continuous Core Drilling: A continuous core sample isobtained using a diamond tipped core barrel. Provided fullcore recovery is achieved (which is not always possible invery low strength rocks and granular soils), this techniqueprovides a very reliable (but relatively expensive) method ofinvestigation. In rocks, an NMLC triple tube core barrel,which gives a core of about 50mm diameter, is usually usedwith water flush. The length of core recovered is comparedto the length drilled and any length not recovered is shownas CORE LOSS. The location of losses are determined onsite by the supervising engineer; where the location isuncertain, the loss is placed at the top end of the drill run.
Standard Penetration Tests: Standard Penetration Tests(SPT) are used mainly in non-cohesive soils, but can alsobe used in cohesive soils as a means of indicating density orstrength and also of obtaining a relatively undisturbedsample. The test procedure is described in AustralianStandard 1289, “Methods of Testing Soils for EngineeringPurposes” – Test F3.1.
The test is carried out in a borehole by driving a 50mmdiameter split sample tube with a tapered shoe, under theimpact of a 63kg hammer with a free fall of 760mm. It isnormal for the tube to be driven in three successive 150mmincrements and the ‘N’ value is taken as the number ofblows for the last 300mm. In dense sands, very hard claysor weak rock, the full 450mm penetration may not bepracticable and the test is discontinued.
The test results are reported in the following form:
In the case where full penetration is obtained withsuccessive blow counts for each 150mm of, say, 4, 6and 7 blows, as
N = 134, 6, 7
In a case where the test is discontinued short of fullpenetration, say after 15 blows for the first 150mm and30 blows for the next 40mm, as
N>3015, 30/40mm
The results of the test can be related empirically to theengineering properties of the soil.
Occasionally, the drop hammer is used to drive 50mmdiameter thin walled sample tubes (U50) in clays. In suchcircumstances, the test results are shown on the boreholelogs in brackets.
A modification to the SPT test is where the same drivingsystem is used with a solid 60 tipped steel cone of thesame diameter as the SPT hollow sampler. The solid conecan be continuously driven for some distance in soft clays orloose sands, or may be used where damage wouldotherwise occur to the SPT. The results of this Solid ConePenetration Test (SCPT) are shown as "N c” on the boreholelogs, together with the number of blows per 150mmpenetration.
JKG Report Explanation Notes Rev2 May 2013 Page 3 of 4
Static Cone Penetrometer Testing and Interpretation:Cone penetrometer testing (sometimes referred to as aDutch Cone) described in this report has been carried outusing an Electronic Friction Cone Penetrometer (EFCP).The test is described in Australian Standard 1289, Test F5.1.
In the tests, a 35mm diameter rod with a conical tip ispushed continuously into the soil, the reaction beingprovided by a specially designed truck or rig which is fittedwith an hydraulic ram system. Measurements are made ofthe end bearing resistance on the cone and the frictionalresistance on a separate 134mm long sleeve, immediatelybehind the cone. Transducers in the tip of the assembly areelectrically connected by wires passing through the centre ofthe push rods to an amplifier and recorder unit mounted onthe control truck.
As penetration occurs (at a rate of approximately 20mm persecond) the information is output as incremental digitalrecords every 10mm. The results given in this report havebeen plotted from the digital data.
The information provided on the charts comprise:
Cone resistance – the actual end bearing force dividedby the cross sectional area of the cone – expressed inMPa.
Sleeve friction – the frictional force on the sleeve dividedby the surface area – expressed in kPa.
Friction ratio – the ratio of sleeve friction to coneresistance, expressed as a percentage.
The ratios of the sleeve resistance to cone resistancewill vary with the type of soil encountered, with higherrelative friction in clays than in sands. Friction ratios of1% to 2% are commonly encountered in sands andoccasionally very soft clays, rising to 4% to 10% in stiffclays and peats. Soil descriptions based on coneresistance and friction ratios are only inferred and mustnot be considered as exact.
Correlations between EFCP and SPT values can bedeveloped for both sands and clays but may be site specific.
Interpretation of EFCP values can be made to empiricallyderive modulus or compressibility values to allow calculationof foundation settlements.
Stratification can be inferred from the cone and frictiontraces and from experience and information from nearbyboreholes etc. Where shown, this information is presentedfor general guidance, but must be regarded as interpretive.The test method provides a continuous profile ofengineering properties but, where precise information on soilclassification is required, direct drilling and sampling may bepreferable.
Portable Dynamic Cone Penetrometers: PortableDynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests are carried out bydriving a rod into the ground with a sliding hammer andcounting the blows for successive 100mm increments ofpenetration.
Two relatively similar tests are used:
Cone penetrometer (commonly known as the ScalaPenetrometer) – a 16mm rod with a 20mm diametercone end is driven with a 9kg hammer dropping 510mm(AS1289, Test F3.2). The test was developed initiallyfor pavement subgrade investigations, and correlationsof the test results with California Bearing Ratio havebeen published by various Road Authorities.
Perth sand penetrometer – a 16mm diameter flat endedrod is driven with a 9kg hammer, dropping 600mm(AS1289, Test F3.3). This test was developed fortesting the density of sands (originating in Perth) and ismainly used in granular soils and filling.
LOGS
The borehole or test pit logs presented herein are anengineering and/or geological interpretation of the sub-surface conditions, and their reliability will depend to someextent on the frequency of sampling and the method ofdrilling or excavation. Ideally, continuous undisturbedsampling or core drilling will enable the most reliableassessment, but is not always practicable or possible tojustify on economic grounds. In any case, the boreholes ortest pits represent only a very small sample of the totalsubsurface conditions.
The attached explanatory notes define the terms andsymbols used in preparation of the logs.
Interpretation of the information shown on the logs, and itsapplication to design and construction, should therefore takeinto account the spacing of boreholes or test pits, themethod of drilling or excavation, the frequency of samplingand testing and the possibility of other than “straight line”variations between the boreholes or test pits. Subsurfaceconditions between boreholes or test pits may varysignificantly from conditions encountered at the borehole ortest pit locations.
GROUNDWATER
Where groundwater levels are measured in boreholes, thereare several potential problems:
Although groundwater may be present, in lowpermeability soils it may enter the hole slowly or perhapsnot at all during the time it is left open.
A localised perched water table may lead to anerroneous indication of the true water table.
Water table levels will vary from time to time withseasons or recent weather changes and may not be thesame at the time of construction.
The use of water or mud as a drilling fluid will mask anygroundwater inflow. Water has to be blown out of thehole and drilling mud must be washed out of the hole or‘reverted’ chemically if water observations are to bemade.
JKG Report Explanation Notes Rev2 May 2013 Page 4 of 4
More reliable measurements can be made by installingstandpipes which are read after stabilising at intervalsranging from several days to perhaps weeks for lowpermeability soils. Piezometers, sealed in a particularstratum, may be advisable in low permeability soils or wherethere may be interference from perched water tables orsurface water.
FILL
The presence of fill materials can often be determined onlyby the inclusion of foreign objects (eg bricks, steel etc) or bydistinctly unusual colour, texture or fabric. Identification ofthe extent of fill materials will also depend on investigationmethods and frequency. Where natural soils similar tothose at the site are used for fill, it may be difficult withlimited testing and sampling to reliably determine the extentof the fill.
The presence of fill materials is usually regarded withcaution as the possible variation in density, strength andmaterial type is much greater than with natural soil deposits.Consequently, there is an increased risk of adverseengineering characteristics or behaviour. If the volume andquality of fill is of importance to a project, then frequent testpit excavations are preferable to boreholes.
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory testing is normally carried out in accordance withAustralian Standard 1289 ‘Methods of Testing Soil forEngineering Purposes’. Details of the test procedure usedare given on the individual report forms.
ENGINEERING REPORTS
Engineering reports are prepared by qualified personnel andare based on the information obtained and on currentengineering standards of interpretation and analysis. Wherethe report has been prepared for a specific design proposal(eg. a three storey building) the information andinterpretation may not be relevant if the design proposal ischanged (eg to a twenty storey building). If this happens,the company will be pleased to review the report and thesufficiency of the investigation work.
Every care is taken with the report as it relates tointerpretation of subsurface conditions, discussion ofgeotechnical aspects and recommendations or suggestionsfor design and construction. However, the Company cannotalways anticipate or assume responsibility for:
Unexpected variations in ground conditions – thepotential for this will be partially dependent on boreholespacing and sampling frequency as well as investigationtechnique.
Changes in policy or interpretation of policy by statutoryauthorities.
The actions of persons or contractors responding tocommercial pressures.
If these occur, the company will be pleased to assist withinvestigation or advice to resolve any problems occurring.
SITE ANOMALIES
In the event that conditions encountered on site duringconstruction appear to vary from those which were expectedfrom the information contained in the report, the companyrequests that it immediately be notified. Most problems aremuch more readily resolved when conditions are exposedthat at some later stage, well after the event.
REPRODUCTION OF INFORMATION FORCONTRACTUAL PURPOSES
Attention is drawn to the document ‘Guidelines for theProvision of Geotechnical Information in Tender Documents’ ,published by the Institution of Engineers, Australia. Whereinformation obtained from this investigation is provided fortendering purposes, it is recommended that all information,including the written report and discussion, be madeavailable. In circumstances where the discussion orcomments section is not relevant to the contractual situation,it may be appropriate to prepare a specially editeddocument. The company would be pleased to assist in thisregard and/or to make additional report copies available forcontract purposes at a nominal charge.
Copyright in all documents (such as drawings, borehole ortest pit logs, reports and specifications) provided by theCompany shall remain the property of Jeffery andKatauskas Pty Ltd. Subject to the payment of all fees due,the Client alone shall have a licence to use the documentsprovided for the sole purpose of completing the project towhich they relate. License to use the documents may berevoked without notice if the Client is in breach of anyobjection to make a payment to us.
REVIEW OF DESIGN
Where major civil or structural developments are proposedor where only a limited investigation has been completed orwhere the geotechnical conditions/ constraints are quitecomplex, it is prudent to have a joint design review whichinvolves a senior geotechnical engineer.
SITE INSPECTION
The company will always be pleased to provide engineeringinspection services for geotechnical aspects of work towhich this report is related.
Requirements could range from:
i) a site visit to confirm that conditions exposed are noworse than those interpreted, to
ii) a visit to assist the contractor or other site personnel inidentifying various soil/rock types such as appropriatefooting or pier founding depths, or
iii) full time engineering presence on site.
