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

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.

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.

Where Mineral Oil or Fats, Oils and Grease is quoted, this refers to Total Aliphatics C10-C40.

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.

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.

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.

  Note 1:  Quartz particles >0.02mm. Note 2:  The quartz bearing matrix contains clay‐ and silt‐grade particles that may be of quartz or feldspar.   X‐ray 

diffraction analysis is recommended to measure the total quartz content of these samples.

Constituents / Estimated Vol. % 

Typical grain size, mm:  

Mode of occurrence 

Micaceous and chloritic matrix Note 1/37% 

<0.002  Occurs as irregular to elongate patches consisting of typically fibrous muscovite and chlorite crystals.  The patches often exhibit preferred orientation and are well and are evenly distributed throughout the rock. 

Quartz/25%  0.1‐0.5  Occurs as subangular to angular grains and are typically granular.  They commonly exhibit strain and in some places occur as small patches of interlocking crystals with intersutured grain boundaries.   

Opaque minerals/ 22% 

<0.005  Typically occurs as iron oxides often resembling hematite.  The majority of the iron oxides are present as irregular patches to very narrow elongate concentrations that exhibit a well‐defined preferred orientation.  Lesser amounts occur as sparsely distributed subangular iron oxide grains typically in the size range of 0.15‐0.2mm.   

Quartz matrix/ 10% 

<0.005  Occurs as irregular patches of interlocking strained crystals and sometimes resemble chert. 

Feldspar/5%  0.1‐0.15  Occur as sparse subangular to angular plagioclase grains and often contain minor to moderate amounts of sheet silicate inclusions. 

Mica/1%  0.15‐0.2  Occurs as very sparse flaky and elongate muscovite crystals.   

Summary description of texture 

The sample typically exhibits a faint metamorphic foliation consisting of abundant micaceous and chloritic matrix that has a preferred orientation.  Elongate concentrations of iron oxides are orientated parallel to the matrix and exhibit a preferred orientation.  Quartz and feldspar are evenly distributed granular crystals.  Small irregular patches of microcrystalline and very fine grained quartz matrix are sporadic throughout the sample. 

Porosity and microcracking 

The majority of the sample is of low porosity with small sporadic patches of micaceous and chloritic matrix that are sometimes porous.  Narrow microcracks often occur throughout the sample and are orientated parallel to the foliation. 

Weathering and alteration. 

The feldspar crystals often appear slightly altered. 

Note 1:  X‐ray diffraction would be recommended to fully identify the microcrystalline and clay‐grade minerals.

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.

(i)  Visual description 

A  photograph  illustrating  the  sample  as  received  is  given  in  Figure  A11  in  Appendix  A.    The macroscopic features of the sample are described as follows:  

 

Laboratory reference  K13081/11 

Client sample reference  BHB (8.85‐8.99m) 

Rock type  Phyllonite 

Strength classification Note 1 / characteristics 

The sample has an estimated strength of Strong (50‐100MPa) and has a tendency to break parallel to the foliation and along iron rich seams. 

Colour  Light brown to greenish grey 

Surfaces  The core ends are rough and exhibit parallel elongate areas of dark brownish orange staining. 

Typical grain size  Very fine 

Structure  The sample appears mostly homogeneous with unevenly distributed very narrow slightly undulating seams of iron rich material.  The seams are orientated parallel to the core axis and appear to be clustered in one localised area and sparse throughout the remainder of the core.  

Note 1: Strength terms as defined in BS EN ISO 14689‐1:2003.

Summary description of texture 

The sample exhibits a well‐defined preferred orientation consisting of abundant patches of micaceous and chloritic sheet silicate matrix.  Quartz granular crystals are typically well and evenly distributed throughout the matrix.  Irregular patches of very fine grained quartz matrix, micaceous and chloritic matrix and iron oxides are sporadic throughout the sample.  Slightly undulating seams composed of hydrated iron oxide minerals are unevenly distributed and are orientated parallel to the foliation.  An elongate cavity occurs oblique to the core axis and is 1mm wide and 7mm in length.   

Porosity and microcracking 

The sample has patchy porosity.  The majority of the sample is of typically low porosity with small patches of micaceous and chloritic matrix that are sometimes slightly porous.  Minor amounts of continuous microcracks occur parallel to the foliation. 

Weathering and alteration. 

Iron oxide compounds are often weathered and have resulted in dark brownish orange staining of adjacent crystals.  The majority of the mica crystals are partially altered to chlorite.
