Ground Investigations Ireland Ltd 3
1.0 Preamble
On the instructions of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) and Nicholas O’ Dwyer
Consulting Engineers, a site investigation was carried out by ABCO Marine and Ground Investigations
Ireland Ltd., between September and October 2016 at various locations within An Daingean Fisher Harbour
and the proposed navigation channel.
2.0 Overview
2.1. Background The works are proposed to provide geotechnical information required for the design for dredging works to
the channel and turning basin. The works comprise 26 marine boreholes (permanently immersed) together
with associated in-situ and laboratory testing.
The site is currently a busy fishery harbour and is situated in the Centre of An Daingean in Co. Kerry. A
significant dredging programme is also envisaged and a programme of environmental sampling and
analysis has been carried out to facilitate the disposal of any excavated material.
The ground investigation originally comprised 26 no. Marine Boreholes however was amended to comprise
an additional 3 no. Marine Boreholes completed using rotary core drilling only. A series of grab samples
were recovered from 9 no. locations within the harbour to collect sediment samples for environmental
analysis. The boreholes were drilled with Cable Percussion techniques with Rotary Core Follow-on from
the Jack-up barge provided by ABCO Marine.
2.2. Purpose and Scope
The purpose of the site investigation was to investigate subsurface conditions utilising a variety of
investigative methods in accordance with the project specification. The scope of the work undertaken for
this project included the following:
Visit project site to observe existing conditions
Mobilise Jack-up Barge and support vessels for the proposed investigation
Carry out 9 No. Surface Grab Samples to recover sediment samples
Carry out 26 No. Cable Percussion Boreholes to recover sediment samples & insitu testing
Carry out 29 No. Rotary Core Boreholes to recover rock core samples for logging & testing
Geotechnical, Environmental & Rock Laboratory testing

3.0 Subsurface Exploration
3.1. General
During the ground investigation a programme of intrusive investigation specified by the Consulting Engineer
was undertaken to determine the sub surface conditions at the proposed site. Regular sampling and in-
situ testing was undertaken in the exploratory holes to facilitate the geotechnical descriptions and to enable
laboratory testing to be carried out on the soil samples recovered during excavation and drilling.
The procedures used in this site investigation are in accordance with Eurocode 7 Part 2: Ground
Investigation and testing (ISEN 1997 – 2:2007) and B.S. 5930:2015.
3.2. Grab Sampling
The grab sampling was carried out at the locations shown in the location plan in Appendix 1 using a Van
Veen stainless steel grab sampler. Geotechnical or environmental soil samples can be recovered from each
of the samples following logging. The grab sample records are provided in Appendix 2 of this Report.
3.3. Cable Percussion Boreholes
The Cable Percussion Boreholes were drilled using a Dando 2000 drilling rig with regular in-situ testing and
sampling undertaken to facilitate the production of geotechnical logs and laboratory testing. Where bedrock
was shallow the Cable Percussion boring was completed utilising the winch on the T44 Beretta which
subsequently followed on down the same hole to complete the rotary core drilling.
The standard method of boring in soil for site investigation is known as the Cable Percussion method. It
consists of using a Shell in non cohesive soils and a clay cutter in cohesive soils, both operated on a wire
cable. Very hard soils, boulders and other hard obstructions are broken up by chiselling and the fragments
removed with the Shell. Where ground conditions made it necessary, the borehole was lined with 200mm
diameter steel casing. While the use of the Cable Percussion method of boring gives the maximum data
on soil conditions, some mixing of laminated soil is inevitable. For this reason, thin lenses of granular
material may not be noticed.
Disturbed samples were taken from the boring tools at suitable depths, so that there is a representative
sample at the top of each change in stratum and thereafter at regular intervals down the borehole until the
next stratum was encountered. The disturbed samples were then sealed and sent to the laboratory where
they were visually examined to confirm the description of the relevant strata.
Standard Penetration Tests were carried out in the boreholes. The results of these tests, together with the
depths at which the tests were taken are shown on the accompanying borehole records. The test consists
of a thick wall sampler tube, 50mm external diameter, being driven into the soil by a monkey weighing
63.5kg and with a free drop of 760mm. For gravels and glacial till the driving shoe was replaced by a solid
60º cone.
The Standard Penetration Test number referred to as the ‘N’ value is the number of blows required to drive
the tube 300mm, after an initial penetration of 150mm. The number gives a guide to the consistency of the

soil and can also be used to estimate the relative strength/density at the depth of the test and also to
estimate the bearing capacity and compressibility of the soil.
The cable percussion borehole logs are provided in Appendix 3 of this Report.
3.4. Rotary Boreholes
The rotary coring was carried out by a track mounted T44 Beretta rig at the locations shown on the location
plan in Appendix 1. The rotary boreholes were completed from the base of the cable percussion borehole
where the casing was left as a temporary liner to facilitate follow-on rotary coring.
The T44 Beretta is equipped with rubber tracks which allow for short travel on pavement surfaces avoiding
any damage to the surface. The T44 Beretta utilises a triple tube core barrel system operated using a
wireline drilling process. The outer barrel is rotated by the drill rods and at its lower end, carries the coring
bit. The inner barrel is mounted on a swivel so that it does not rotate during the process. The third barrel or
liner is placed within the second one to retain the core intact and to preserve as much as possible the fabric
of the drilling stratum. The core is cut by the coring bit and passes to the inner liner. The core is brought
up to the surface within the inner barrel on a small diameter wire rope or line attached to the “overshoot”
recovery tool which is then placed into a core box in order of recovery. A drilling fluid, typically air mist or
water flush is passed from the surface through hollow drill rods to the drill bit, and is used to cool the drill
bit. Temporary casing is used in some situations to support unstable ground or to seal off fissures or voids.
It should be noted that the rotary coring can only achieve limited recovery in overburden, particularly
granular or weakly cemented strata due to the flushing medium washing away the cohesive fraction during
coring. The recovery achieved, where required is noted on the borehole logs and core photographs are
provided to allow assessment of the core recovered. The rotary borehole logs are provided in Appendix 4
of this Report.
3.5. Surveying
Each of the exploratory hole locations have been set out and recorded using a Trimble R10 GNSS System
which records the coordinates and elevation of the locations to ITM or Irish National Grid as required by the
project specification. The coordinates and elevations are provided on the exploratory hole logs in the
appendices of this Report.
3.6. Laboratory Testing
Samples were selected from the exploratory holes for a range of geotechnical and environmental testing to
assist in the classification of soils and to provide information for the proposed design.
Environmental testing which consisted of a suite specified by the Marine Institute. The testing was carried
out by Jones Environmental Laboratory in the UK.
Geotechnical testing consisting of moisture content, Atterberg limits, Particle Size Distribution (PSD),
hydrometer, have been schedule with NMTL’s Geotechnical Laboratory in Carlow.

DEVIATING SAMPLES
SURROGATES
DILUTIONS
NOTE
Samples must be received in a condition appropriate to the requested analyses. All samples should be submitted to the laboratory in suitable
containers with sufficient ice packs to sustain an appropriate temperature for the requested analysis. If this is not the case you will be informed and
any test results that may be compromised highlighted on your deviating samples report.
NOTES TO ACCOMPANY ALL SCHEDULES AND REPORTS
Please note we are only MCERTS accredited (UK soils only) for sand, loam and clay and any other matrix is outside our scope of accreditation.
Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40.
16/14232
WATERS
Where an MCERTS report has been requested, you will be notified within 48 hours of any samples that have been identified as being outside our
MCERTS scope. As validation has been performed on clay, sand and loam, only samples that are predominantly these matrices, or combinations
of them will be within our MCERTS scope. If samples are not one of a combination of the above matrices they will not be marked as MCERTS
accredited.
Negative Neutralization Potential (NP) values are obtained when the volume of NaOH (0.1N) titrated (pH 8.3) is greater than the volume of HCl (1N)
to reduce the pH of the sample to 2.0 - 2.5. Any negative NP values are corrected to 0.
Where a CEN 10:1 ZERO Headspace VOC test has been carried out, a 10:1 ratio of water to wet (as received) soil has been used.
All samples will be discarded one month after the date of reporting, unless we are instructed to the contrary.
% Asbestos in Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) is determined by reference to HSG 264 The Survey Guide - Appendix 2 : ACMs in buildings
listed in order of ease of fibre release.
All analysis is reported on a dry weight basis unless stated otherwise. Results are not surrogate corrected. Samples are dried at 35°C ±5°C unless
otherwise stated. Moisture content for CEN Leachate tests are dried at 105°C ±5°C.
It is assumed that you have taken representative samples on site and require analysis on a representative subsample. Stones will generally be
included unless we are requested to remove them.
ISO17025 (UKAS) accreditation applies to surface water and groundwater and one other matrix which is analysis specific, any other liquids are
outside our scope of accreditation.
As surface waters require different sample preparation to groundwaters the laboratory must be informed of the water type when submitting samples.
Where appropriate please make sure that our detection limits are suitable for your needs, if they are not, please notify us immediately.
Surrogate compounds are added during the preparation process to monitor recovery of analytes. However low recovery in soils is often due to peat,
clay or other organic rich matrices. For waters this can be due to oxidants, surfactants, organic rich sediments or remediation fluids. Acceptable
limits for most organic methods are 70 - 130% and for VOCs are 50 - 150%. When surrogate recoveries are outside the performance criteria but
the associated AQC passes this is assumed to be due to matrix effect. Results are not surrogate corrected.
A dilution suffix indicates a dilution has been performed and the reported result takes this into account. No further calculation is required.
If you have not already done so, please send us a purchase order if this is required by your company.
Data is only reported if the laboratory is confident that the data is a true reflection of the samples analysed. Data is only reported as accredited when
all the requirements of our Quality System have been met. In certain circumstances where all the requirements of the Quality System have not been
met, for instance if the associated AQC has failed, the reason is fully investigated and documented. The sample data is then evaluated alongside
the other quality control checks performed during analysis to determine its suitability. Following this evaluation, provided the sample results have not
been effected, the data is reported but accreditation is removed. It is a UKAS requirement for data not reported as accredited to be considered
indicative only, but this does not mean the data is not valid.
Where possible, and if requested, samples will be re-extracted and a revised report issued with accredited results. Please do not hesitate to contact
the laboratory if further details are required of the circumstances which have led to the removal of accreditation.

SOILS
DEVIATING SAMPLES
SURROGATES
DILUTIONS
NOTE
It is assumed that you have taken representative samples on site and require analysis on a representative subsample. Stones will generally be
included unless we are requested to remove them.
ISO17025 (UKAS) accreditation applies to surface water and groundwater and one other matrix which is analysis specific, any other liquids are
outside our scope of accreditation.
As surface waters require different sample preparation to groundwaters the laboratory must be informed of the water type when submitting samples.
Where appropriate please make sure that our detection limits are suitable for your needs, if they are not, please notify us immediately.
Surrogate compounds are added during the preparation process to monitor recovery of analytes. However low recovery in soils is often due to peat,
clay or other organic rich matrices. For waters this can be due to oxidants, surfactants, organic rich sediments or remediation fluids. Acceptable
limits for most organic methods are 70 - 130% and for VOCs are 50 - 150%. When surrogate recoveries are outside the performance criteria but
the associated AQC passes this is assumed to be due to matrix effect. Results are not surrogate corrected.
A dilution suffix indicates a dilution has been performed and the reported result takes this into account. No further calculation is required.
If you have not already done so, please send us a purchase order if this is required by your company.
Data is only reported if the laboratory is confident that the data is a true reflection of the samples analysed. Data is only reported as accredited when

Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40.
Please note we are not a UK Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) Approved Laboratory .
NOTES TO ACCOMPANY ALL SCHEDULES AND REPORTS
Please note we are only MCERTS accredited (UK soils only) for sand, loam and clay and any other matrix is outside our scope of accreditation.
Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40.
16/14232
WATERS
Where an MCERTS report has been requested, you will be notified within 48 hours of any samples that have been identified as being outside our
MCERTS scope. As validation has been performed on clay, sand and loam, only samples that are predominantly these matrices, or combinations
of them will be within our MCERTS scope. If samples are not one of a combination of the above matrices they will not be marked as MCERTS
accredited.
Negative Neutralization Potential (NP) values are obtained when the volume of NaOH (0.1N) titrated (pH 8.3) is greater than the volume of HCl (1N)
to reduce the pH of the sample to 2.0 - 2.5. Any negative NP values are corrected to 0.
Where a CEN 10:1 ZERO Headspace VOC test has been carried out, a 10:1 ratio of water to wet (as received) soil has been used.
All samples will be discarded one month after the date of reporting, unless we are instructed to the contrary.
% Asbestos in Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) is determined by reference to HSG 264 The Survey Guide - Appendix 2 : ACMs in buildings
listed in order of ease of fibre release.
All analysis is reported on a dry weight basis unless stated otherwise. Results are not surrogate corrected. Samples are dried at 35°C ±5°C unless
otherwise stated. Moisture content for CEN Leachate tests are dried at 105°C ±5°C.
Samples must be received in a condition appropriate to the requested analyses. All samples should be submitted to the laboratory in suitable
containers with sufficient ice packs to sustain an appropriate temperature for the requested analysis. If this is not the case you will be informed and
any test results that may be compromised highlighted on your deviating samples report.

3 TEST METHODS
3.1 Petrographic examination
The petrographic testing was carried out in accordance with the ISRM Suggested Method for Petrographic Examination of Rocks1 using descriptive terminology where possible as defined in BS 5930 and BS EN ISO14689‐1 2003. In brief the following work was carried out. (i) The samples were examined as received, photographed and described visually.
(ii) A fluorescent resin impregnated thin section was prepared from each sample. The thin sections were orientated parallel with the core axis and were taken from a selected representative portion of the samples. The thin sections measured about 50x75mm. The thin section preparation was carried out without the use of water using an oil‐based cutting fluid to ensure the preservation of water‐soluble materials.
(iii) The thin sections were examined with a Zeiss petrological photomicroscope and the distribution of porosity and microcracking was assessed from an examination of the thin sections in fluorescent light using the petrological microscope.
(iv) The quartz content of each sample was determined by point counting of the thin sections using a Zeiss petrological photomicroscope. The quartz was counted based on grain size; crystals coarser than 0.02mm across were counted as individual grains and were easily distinguished from feldspar. Quartz crystals less than 0.02mm across were counted as matrix and were not readily distinguishable from feldspar. The results are given in the table below.

A continuous narrow vein typically 0.1‐0.15mm and is composed of abundant altered mica, chlorite and hydrated iron oxides. The vein occurs in one area of the sample and is orientated perpendicular to the core axis. A lense shape cavity approximately 0.9mm wide and 14mm long occurs in one area of the rock and is orientated oblique to the core axis.
Porosity and microcracking
The majority of the sample is of very low porosity. Patches of micaceous and chloritic matrix are sometimes porous. No microcracking has been seen in the thin section.
Weathering and alteration.
Weathered iron compounds often occur along seams. The mica is typically partially altered to chlorite.
Note 1: X‐ray diffraction would be recommended to fully identify the microcrystalline and clay‐grade minerals.

Typical grain size, mm:
Mode of occurrence
Micaceous and chloritic matrix Note 1/33%
<0.002 Occur as abundant small patches of fibrous crystals of muscovite and chlorite. They are well and evenly distributed throughout the sample and commonly exhibit a well‐defined preferred orientation.
Mica/26% 0.03‐0.05 Occurs as flaky elongate muscovite that exhibit a well‐defined preferred orientation. They are occasionally deformed and occur as lenticular crystals. They are often partially altered to chlorite.
Quartz matrix/26% <0.02 Occurs as sporadic irregular patches of very fine grained strained and interlocking crystals.
Quartz/13% 0.03‐0.05 Occurs as subangular to angular strained crystals that are granular and well and evenly distributed throughout the sample.
Iron oxides/2% <0.002‐0.05 Typically occur as sporadic anhedral crystals and sometimes as small concentrations along very narrow seams that have a well‐defined preferred orientation. Iron staining sometimes occurs in some areas adjacent to the seams and sometimes occurs along crystal grain boundaries.
Feldspar/<1% 0.05‐0.1 Occurs as subangular crystals of plagioclase that often contain minor amounts of sheet silicate inclusions.
Summary description of texture
The sample exhibits a well‐defined metamorphic foliation consisting of elongate concentrations of flaky muscovite crystals. Intermittent elongate planar areas consisting of granular quartz crystals with lesser amounts of muscovite are orientated parallel to the concentrations of mica. Narrow and mainly continuous cracks are unevenly distributed throughout the core and are orientated parallel to the core axis. The cracks are mostly filled and consist of interlocking fine grained quartz crystals and small amounts of altered mica resembling chlorite. Slightly undulating discontinuous seams of iron oxides occur perpendicular to the cracks and in some places cross‐cut the cracks.
Porosity and microcracking
The sample has patchy porosity. The majority of the sample is of low porosity. Small sporadic patches of micaceous and chloritic matrix are frequently porous. Minor amounts of small microcracks occur parallel to the foliation.
Weathering and alteration.
Localised areas of the sample are weathered and exhibit weathered iron compounds. The majority of mica crystals are partially altered to chlorite.
Note 1: X‐ray diffraction would be recommended to fully identify the microcrystalline and clay‐grade minerals.
