24.2 Trenching and General Excavation near Trees
All Trenching and General Excavation shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of this Specification.
Trenching and General Excavation may only be carried out where designated by the Drawings, or where otherwise approved by the Superintendent in consultation with the Council’s Arborist.
Conduits shall be installed at all times, at or below a minimum depth of 600mm below the average permanent ground level at any point. EXCEPT THAT the boring depth within any part of a Tree Protection Zone or for the entire and continuous length of a Tree Avenue Tree Protection Zone, such that the conduit shall be a minimum of 900mm below the existing natural surface at any point. (The purpose of the vertical separation, in part, should a tree have to be removed in the future is to allow for the tree stump to be ‘ground-out’ without damaging the conduit, and another tree planted at that location.
Where General Excavation activities such as for pits and pole footings are specified, or are necessary within a Tree Protection Zone AND are approved of by the Superintendent, mechanical excavation is permitted only after or radar detection, or hand excavation to a depth of 400mm, over the area to be excavated, has revealed no structural tree roots greater than 50mm diameter . No excavation shall be greater than 1 sq. metre in area.
If the Superintendent approves of Trenching and General Excavation which is additional to that designated or anticipated by the Drawings, either within or outside of the Tree Protection Zones, he shall do so subject to such conditions as he deems appropriate including those applying to Trenching and General Excavation set out elsewhere in this Specification.
24.3 Tree Pruning
Tree root pruning shall be carried out in accordance with AS4970-2009.
The Contractor shall not remove any tree branches which protrude into the Works area. Tree branches assessed by the Contractor to directly conflict with the specified placement of light poles and/or luminaries shall be brought to the attention of the Superintendent. If possible, an alternate location of the lighting fixture, to the sole approval of the Superintendent, shall be determined. Only the Principal’s Tree Maintenance Contractor can carry out assessment and branch pruning works. No cost of tree branch pruning will be borne by the Contractor provided the procedure specified is followed. All pruning works to be completed before commencement of works.
24.4 Damage to Trees
Where damage occurs to trees during construction, the Superintendent shall be contacted immediately. Costs associated with any corrective pruning required must be borne directly by the responsible party. Only the Principal’s tree maintenance Contractor can carry out these Works.
If the Superintendent deems that a tree requires removal due to damage, the responsible party may be required to pay the amenity value of the tree as per the relevant council amenity valuation method, plus removal and replacement costs.
25 EXPLOSIVE TOOLS
The use of explosive tools for fixing to steel or concrete structure, etc., is prohibited.

iv. TERRAIN EVALUATION - continued
GEOLOGY: Quaternary Sediments Identification assisted by reference to appropriate geological survey
map. This report may contain a geology map obtained from the Department of Natural Resources Geovic website including the site under investigation. It is provided as a guide to mapping of the local geology only and not to be used as a basis for design.
SOIL TYPES: Sands VEGETATION WITHIN OR IN PROXIMITY TO BUILDING ENVELOPE: GRASSES: Thick SHRUBS: Numerous Medium TREES: Numerous Medium to Large INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN OR IN PROXIMITY TO BUILDING ENVELOPE: Yes. NOTE: The designing engineer should review available aerial mapping data and/or available site context information to assess the current or pre-existing conditions in respect to design considerations for Abnormal Moisture Condition’s.
v. TESTING PROGRAMME
Twenty Five (25) test sites were established and excavated using either a 100mm diameter direct drive drilling rig or a 100mm manual earth auger at the approximate locations shown on the appended Test Site Location Plan (Appendix i). Where soil conditions dictated investigation was assisted by the use of a penetrometer to confirm profile depth and condition. Where penetrometer testing is not undertaken the soil profile depth and conditions is extrapolated from our knowledge of the geology and soils in this area. Disturbed samples were collected and hand classified. A vane shear apparatus was used to determine the strength of all cohesive soils in conjunction with tactile assessment. Classification is based upon Section 2 Clauses 2.2 of AS2870-2011. The method adopted for clay sites primarily includes 2.2.1 (a). Clause 2.2.1 (b) can be adopted under instruction from the client. Site history: The client is advised that site classification can be altered by past activities on this site not known at the time of our site investigation and report preparation. The client is advised that failure to investigate and report past history may invalidate the report.

vi. FINDINGS
The soil profiles encountered are shown on the log sheet. The cohesion value obtained is quoted on the log sheet. The high Sand component of the soil indicates a low soil reactivity and seasonal heave potential. The client should recognise that the soil profiles encountered during our testing as deemed representative of the building envelope for the purpose of classifications. The client should be aware however that in some cases soil conditions can change dramatically over short distances and although all effort is made to determine possible soil profile variations, no responsibility is taken for any undetected variations. The most careful exploration programme may not locate all soil profile variations due to time and economic restraints. If footing excavations reveal soil conditions differing from those shown on the log sheet in this report, we recommend that Southern Geotechnical be contacted immediately to carry out further testing to confirm or revise our conclusions and recommendations.
vii. SITE CONSTRAINTS
EXCAVATION/CONSTRUCTION DIFFICULTIES SITE VEHICLE ACCESS: Fair. SITE VEHICLE MANEUVERABILITY: Fair. EXISTING STRUCTURE AROUND CONSTRUCTION AREA: Yes. VEGETATION AROUND CONSTRUCTION AREA: Yes. WET WEATHER IMPACT: Possible. Sites without good natural or installed drainage can be adversely impacted upon during construction. The client should be aware that the following impacts can occur after wet weather.
∗ Site may become slippery & boggy.
∗ Foundation soils may become inundated and unworkable.
∗ Site drainage may need to be installed.
∗ Construction delays.
∗ Deeper footings or additional earthworks may be required.

viii. CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
On the 11
th of May 2015 we visited the above-mentioned site to carry out a soil investigation for
proposed pathway lighting. A number of locations had been nominated by the client at which testing was to be carried out. Testing was carried out with either hand equipment or a vehicle mounted drilling rig depending on the following factors:
• Where the site was in close proximity to dangerous assets hand equipment testing was carried out.
• Where insufficient information was available as to the exact location of pipes and services, hand testing was carried out.
• Where vehicle access was not possible due to manoeuvrability issues, hand testing was carried out.
We obtained three result types overall:
• Filling less than 800mm then Natural Sands
• Filling greater than 800mm then Natural Sands
• Filling Greater than 2000mm in depth
• Filling of Unknown depth due to impenetrable (to hand equipment) rubble within the filling The area with the most results of impenetrable filling was the pathway between Graham Street and Beach Street. This area was restricted to hand testing due to the presence of High Voltage Power Lines, Power to existing street lighting and a deep (greater than 2700mm) sewer lines.
Filling Less than 800mm (predominantly test sites 1-9) We recommend an ENGINEER designed footing system for this site. All piers/pads should be founded a minimum of 100mm into the Natural Medium Dense Sand where a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 100kPa may be adopted. NOTE: While designing this system the ENGINEER should note that we consider this site to have a LOW soil reactivity (ie similar to CLASS A type).
Filling Greater than 800mm (test sites 10,14,17,25): Due to the depth of filling at these sites (between 800mm and 1300mm) we recommend an ENGINEER designed footing system founded in the filling at a depth of *700mm where a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 60kPa may be adopted. NOTE: While designing this system the ENGINEER should note that we consider this site to have a LOW soil reactivity (ie similar to CLASS A type).

viii. CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS - continued
Impenetrable Filling and Deep Filling: (test sites 10-13 and 18-24): Due to the unknown depth of filling at these sites we recommend an ENGINEER designed footing system founded in the filling at a depth of *700mm where a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 50kPa may be adopted. NOTE: While designing this system the ENGINEER should note that we consider this site to have a LOW soil reactivity (ie similar to CLASS A type).
General Notes: For ease of construction it may be prudent to found all footings at a depth of at least *700mm in either the Filling or Natural Sands. Notwithstanding the above recommendations, some footing settlement may be encountered where the footing is over an existing easement or adjacent to an easement such that the angle of repose of 30 degrees is exceeded. * Subject to other Engineering Considerations (minimum depths)

GENERAL NOTES APPENDIX iii 1. The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on:-
(i) the building specifications and site treatment indicated to us by the client; (ii) the results of our investigation at the nominated Test Site Locations; (iii) the present “state of the art” in both testing and design.
2. Notwithstanding the recommendations made in this report, we also recommend that wherever footings are close to an excavation or easement and are founded in soil, they should be deepened so that the projection from the underside of the excavation to the underside of the footings makes an angle not exceeding 40 degrees to the horizontal. We do not recommend using a steeper angle unless sufficient testing is carried out to indicate otherwise or unless the footings in that area are founded on or almost on solid rock. Service excavations adjacent to the existing footings must also comply with the above guideline. 3. Grub holes should be clear of all significant vegetation and organic matter then be back-filled with suitable material to the proper degree of compaction. 4. Material to be used in controlled compaction should be free of all significant vegetation and/or organic material. 5. If the removal of a pre-existing structure of vegetation disturbs the natural soil profile at the recommended foundation depths, we recommend deepening of the footings at least 200mm below this level. 6. The attached site sketch is not to scale and ground slopes indicated are approximate. As such no calculation should be undertaken with these values. 7. The client should recognise that on cut and fill site, slab edge beam depths may require deepening of the minimum requirements to ensure a natural foundation. 8. Clients are advised to refer to the CSIRO document BTF 18-2011 “Foundation Maintenance and Footing Performance: A Homeowner’s Guide”. Copies of this leaflet can be obtained from this office or other relevant building agencies. All parties must recognise that this leaflet is to be regarded as an integral part of AS2870-2011 and its recommendations are to be applied to all sites investigated where relevant.
9. The client should recognise that the soil profiles encountered during our testing as deemed representative of the building envelope for the purpose of classifications. The client should be aware however that in some cases soil conditions can change dramatically over short distances and although all effort is made to determine possible soil profile variations, no responsibility is taken for any undetected variations. The most careful exploration programme may not locate all soil profile variations due to time and economic restraints.
If footing excavations reveal soil conditions differing from those shown on the log sheet in this report, we recommend that Southern Geotechnical be contacted immediately to carry out further testing to confirm or revise our conclusions and recommendations.

DRAINAGE:
Clients must ensure that close attention is given to site drainage. Excessive build up of water under footings can create a moisture differential in clay soils which in turn can cause heave or settlement in the footing system. Cracked brickwork and/or structural damage of the dwelling may be the result of such movement. On cut and fill site, sealed open surface drains should be used to divert water from the house site. Dish drains may be required on the high side of the batter if the face is likely to scour. On some sloping sites where permeable silty clays and sands overly impermeable clays a perched water table can develop adjacent to the footing on the high side of the site. This moisture build up can create localised swelling of the clay which in turn may cause footing movement with cracked brickwork and/or structural damage resulting. Where this occurs it is recommended that an agricultural drain be installed to divert the flow of water around the house site. Any such drain should penetrate the impermeable clay by approximately 200mm. Further discussion of site drainage maintenance is contained in the CSIRO document BTF 18-2011 “Foundation Maintenance and Footing Performance: A Homeowner’s Guide”.
ARTICULATION:
Although the weight and stiffness of solid masonry buildings reduces expansive clay movement, the sensitivity of this form of construction to small distortions can create special problems. It is recommended on REACTIVE CLAY SOILS that structures be articulated to allow flexibility of the building in response to footing movements that may occur. Provision for articulation should be considered during the design stage of dwellings and from aesthetic viewpoint, clients should consult architects and/or building designers. As such it is not our responsibility to provide spacing and location information. It is recommended that the client consult the Cement and Concrete Association of Australia; Construction Note TN61 titled, “Articulated Walling”, 1992. this leaflet provides a more comprehensive discussion of the necessity of articulation on reactive sites than the advisory note above.
SERVICE TRENCHES:
Past investigations of distressed dwellings indicates that incorrectly backfilled service trenches within proximity to a building can cause substantial soil movement. Loose clay backfill can become inundated resulting in localised soil swelling and heave. All service trenches should be properly backfilled with the excavated soils at the optimum moisture content to ensure that sub-surface inundation does not occur. On reactive clay sites, effort should be made to locate service trenches away from the building to eliminate the potential of movement that can be caused by surface trench inundation. The excavation of surface trenches should also be undertaken with regard to a footings angle of repose - See Note 2 of the Appendix.

The client is advised to recognise that due to some contamination of the existing fill soils, the deeper pile option may lead to increased tipping costs. During our investigations we encountered areas of impenetrable filling on this site. As such final founding depths for some areas cannot be determined. We do however note that similar natural soil profiles are encountered at either end of the project and at locations in between. Based on this we make the following recommendations:
Pier Footing Recommendations: We recommend an ENGINEER designed footing system for this site. At depths in excess of 300mm into the Natural Medium Dense Sand or at 1000mm – WHICHEVER IS DEEPER. At these depths a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 100kPa may be adopted.

* Engineering Considerations may require greater foundation depths than
recommended above.
Skin friction of 30kPa may be adopted for depths in excess of for both the Filling and Natural Sands.
An angle of internal friction of 30 degrees may be adopted for the Filling and Natural Sands on this site.
NOTE: While designing this system the ENGINEER should note that we consider this site to have a LOW soil reactivity (ie similar to CLASS A type).
NOTE: We recommend that the client pay particular attention to the information, notes & appendices contained in our original report.
We hope this information meets with your requirements. If you have any queries regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact myself at the abovementioned office.

Southern Geotechnical Pty Ltd has been commissioned to provide a Site Classification pursuant to AS2870-2011 Residential Slabs & Footings for the nominated address.
The site classification hereby reported has been carried out with regard to the information supplied to us by our client or client’s agents at the date of our commission. Should the client or his agent have omitted to supply us with relevant information or make significant changes to the building type, building envelope, or site our report may be irrelevant and/or inappropriate. No responsibility will be accepted by us for the consequences of such action. The client should acknowledge that this is a Site Classification report specifically prepared for the proposed building development at the identified location and does not extend beyond that brief. All site works related to the building project must be undertaken to comply with the relevant Codes and Standards and must not potentially adversely impact upon the building envelope. Southern Geotechnical Pty Ltd accepts no liability or responsibility for any site works outside of our specific commission.

ii. CLASSIFICATION AS2870-2011: RESIDENTIAL SLABS & FOOTINGS
CLASS P (Problem Site – Filled) This classification is appropriate for the site pursuant to the existing site conditions. The following site characteristics may or will lead to footing design in excess of the standard minimum requirements within AS2870-2011: Residential Slabs & Footings.
iii. SITE SOIL CHARACTERISTICS
SITE FILLING: Depths in excess of 2000mm encountered. UNSUITABLE FOUNDATION CONDITIONS: The fill present is not considered a suitable foundation material. GROUND (PERCHED) WATER INFLUENCE: No potential problem evidenced during our investigation. SITE CUTS: None proposed at time of testing. BEDROCK/SHALLOW FLOATER: None encountered. ABNORMAL MOISTURE CONDITIONS: No existing vegetation on this or adjoining allotments within influence distance. CLIMATIC ZONE: CZ 2
iv. TERRAIN EVALUATION
LOCATION: Refer attached site sketch. SLOPE: Virtually flat over much of site. DRAINAGE: SURFACE: Good SUB-SURFACE: Good

iv. TERRAIN EVALUATION - continued
GEOLOGY: Quaternary Sediments Identification assisted by reference to appropriate geological survey
map. This report may contain a geology map obtained from the Department of Natural Resources Geovic website including the site under investigation. It is provided as a guide to mapping of the local geology only and not to be used as a basis for design.
SOIL TYPES: Sands VEGETATION WITHIN OR IN PROXIMITY TO BUILDING ENVELOPE: GRASSES: Thick SHRUBS: Numerous Medium TREES: Numerous Medium to Large INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN OR IN PROXIMITY TO BUILDING ENVELOPE: Yes. NOTE: The designing engineer should review available aerial mapping data and/or available site context information to assess the current or pre-existing conditions in respect to design considerations for Abnormal Moisture Condition’s.
v. TESTING PROGRAMME
Twenty Five (25) test sites were established and excavated using either a 100mm diameter direct drive drilling rig or a 100mm manual earth auger at the approximate locations shown on the appended Test Site Location Plan (Appendix i). Where soil conditions dictated investigation was assisted by the use of a penetrometer to confirm profile depth and condition. Where penetrometer testing is not undertaken the soil profile depth and conditions is extrapolated from our knowledge of the geology and soils in this area. Disturbed samples were collected and hand classified. A vane shear apparatus was used to determine the strength of all cohesive soils in conjunction with tactile assessment. Classification is based upon Section 2 Clauses 2.2 of AS2870-2011. The method adopted for clay sites primarily includes 2.2.1 (a). Clause 2.2.1 (b) can be adopted under instruction from the client. Site history: The client is advised that site classification can be altered by past activities on this site not known at the time of our site investigation and report preparation. The client is advised that failure to investigate and report past history may invalidate the report.

vi. FINDINGS
The soil profiles encountered are shown on the log sheet. The cohesion value obtained is quoted on the log sheet. The high Sand component of the soil indicates a low soil reactivity and seasonal heave potential. The client should recognise that the soil profiles encountered during our testing as deemed representative of the building envelope for the purpose of classifications. The client should be aware however that in some cases soil conditions can change dramatically over short distances and although all effort is made to determine possible soil profile variations, no responsibility is taken for any undetected variations. The most careful exploration programme may not locate all soil profile variations due to time and economic restraints. If footing excavations reveal soil conditions differing from those shown on the log sheet in this report, we recommend that Southern Geotechnical be contacted immediately to carry out further testing to confirm or revise our conclusions and recommendations.
vii. SITE CONSTRAINTS
EXCAVATION/CONSTRUCTION DIFFICULTIES SITE VEHICLE ACCESS: Fair. SITE VEHICLE MANEUVERABILITY: Fair. EXISTING STRUCTURE AROUND CONSTRUCTION AREA: Yes. VEGETATION AROUND CONSTRUCTION AREA: Yes. WET WEATHER IMPACT: Possible. Sites without good natural or installed drainage can be adversely impacted upon during construction. The client should be aware that the following impacts can occur after wet weather.
∗ Site may become slippery & boggy.
∗ Foundation soils may become inundated and unworkable.
∗ Site drainage may need to be installed.
∗ Construction delays.
∗ Deeper footings or additional earthworks may be required.

viii. CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
On the 11
th of May 2015 we visited the above-mentioned site to carry out a soil investigation for
proposed pathway lighting. A number of locations had been nominated by the client at which testing was to be carried out. Testing was carried out with either hand equipment or a vehicle mounted drilling rig depending on the following factors:
• Where the site was in close proximity to dangerous assets hand equipment testing was carried out.
• Where insufficient information was available as to the exact location of pipes and services, hand testing was carried out.
• Where vehicle access was not possible due to manoeuvrability issues, hand testing was carried out.
We obtained three result types overall:
• Filling less than 800mm then Natural Sands
• Filling greater than 800mm then Natural Sands
• Filling Greater than 2000mm in depth
• Filling of Unknown depth due to impenetrable (to hand equipment) rubble within the filling The area with the most results of impenetrable filling was the pathway between Graham Street and Beach Street. This area was restricted to hand testing due to the presence of High Voltage Power Lines, Power to existing street lighting and a deep (greater than 2700mm) sewer lines.
Filling Less than 800mm (predominantly test sites 1-9) We recommend an ENGINEER designed footing system for this site. All piers/pads should be founded a minimum of 100mm into the Natural Medium Dense Sand where a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 100kPa may be adopted. NOTE: While designing this system the ENGINEER should note that we consider this site to have a LOW soil reactivity (ie similar to CLASS A type).
Filling Greater than 800mm (test sites 10,14,17,25): Due to the depth of filling at these sites (between 800mm and 1300mm) we recommend an ENGINEER designed footing system founded in the filling at a depth of *700mm where a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 60kPa may be adopted. NOTE: While designing this system the ENGINEER should note that we consider this site to have a LOW soil reactivity (ie similar to CLASS A type).

viii. CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS - continued
Impenetrable Filling and Deep Filling: (test sites 10-13 and 18-24): Due to the unknown depth of filling at these sites we recommend an ENGINEER designed footing system founded in the filling at a depth of *700mm where a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 50kPa may be adopted. NOTE: While designing this system the ENGINEER should note that we consider this site to have a LOW soil reactivity (ie similar to CLASS A type).
General Notes: For ease of construction it may be prudent to found all footings at a depth of at least *700mm in either the Filling or Natural Sands. Notwithstanding the above recommendations, some footing settlement may be encountered where the footing is over an existing easement or adjacent to an easement such that the angle of repose of 30 degrees is exceeded. * Subject to other Engineering Considerations (minimum depths)

GENERAL NOTES APPENDIX iii 1. The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on:-
(i) the building specifications and site treatment indicated to us by the client; (ii) the results of our investigation at the nominated Test Site Locations; (iii) the present “state of the art” in both testing and design.
2. Notwithstanding the recommendations made in this report, we also recommend that wherever footings are close to an excavation or easement and are founded in soil, they should be deepened so that the projection from the underside of the excavation to the underside of the footings makes an angle not exceeding 40 degrees to the horizontal. We do not recommend using a steeper angle unless sufficient testing is carried out to indicate otherwise or unless the footings in that area are founded on or almost on solid rock. Service excavations adjacent to the existing footings must also comply with the above guideline. 3. Grub holes should be clear of all significant vegetation and organic matter then be back-filled with suitable material to the proper degree of compaction. 4. Material to be used in controlled compaction should be free of all significant vegetation and/or organic material. 5. If the removal of a pre-existing structure of vegetation disturbs the natural soil profile at the recommended foundation depths, we recommend deepening of the footings at least 200mm below this level. 6. The attached site sketch is not to scale and ground slopes indicated are approximate. As such no calculation should be undertaken with these values. 7. The client should recognise that on cut and fill site, slab edge beam depths may require deepening of the minimum requirements to ensure a natural foundation. 8. Clients are advised to refer to the CSIRO document BTF 18-2011 “Foundation Maintenance and Footing Performance: A Homeowner’s Guide”. Copies of this leaflet can be obtained from this office or other relevant building agencies. All parties must recognise that this leaflet is to be regarded as an integral part of AS2870-2011 and its recommendations are to be applied to all sites investigated where relevant.
9. The client should recognise that the soil profiles encountered during our testing as deemed representative of the building envelope for the purpose of classifications. The client should be aware however that in some cases soil conditions can change dramatically over short distances and although all effort is made to determine possible soil profile variations, no responsibility is taken for any undetected variations. The most careful exploration programme may not locate all soil profile variations due to time and economic restraints.
If footing excavations reveal soil conditions differing from those shown on the log sheet in this report, we recommend that Southern Geotechnical be contacted immediately to carry out further testing to confirm or revise our conclusions and recommendations.

DRAINAGE:
Clients must ensure that close attention is given to site drainage. Excessive build up of water under footings can create a moisture differential in clay soils which in turn can cause heave or settlement in the footing system. Cracked brickwork and/or structural damage of the dwelling may be the result of such movement. On cut and fill site, sealed open surface drains should be used to divert water from the house site. Dish drains may be required on the high side of the batter if the face is likely to scour. On some sloping sites where permeable silty clays and sands overly impermeable clays a perched water table can develop adjacent to the footing on the high side of the site. This moisture build up can create localised swelling of the clay which in turn may cause footing movement with cracked brickwork and/or structural damage resulting. Where this occurs it is recommended that an agricultural drain be installed to divert the flow of water around the house site. Any such drain should penetrate the impermeable clay by approximately 200mm. Further discussion of site drainage maintenance is contained in the CSIRO document BTF 18-2011 “Foundation Maintenance and Footing Performance: A Homeowner’s Guide”.
ARTICULATION:
Although the weight and stiffness of solid masonry buildings reduces expansive clay movement, the sensitivity of this form of construction to small distortions can create special problems. It is recommended on REACTIVE CLAY SOILS that structures be articulated to allow flexibility of the building in response to footing movements that may occur. Provision for articulation should be considered during the design stage of dwellings and from aesthetic viewpoint, clients should consult architects and/or building designers. As such it is not our responsibility to provide spacing and location information. It is recommended that the client consult the Cement and Concrete Association of Australia; Construction Note TN61 titled, “Articulated Walling”, 1992. this leaflet provides a more comprehensive discussion of the necessity of articulation on reactive sites than the advisory note above.
SERVICE TRENCHES:
Past investigations of distressed dwellings indicates that incorrectly backfilled service trenches within proximity to a building can cause substantial soil movement. Loose clay backfill can become inundated resulting in localised soil swelling and heave. All service trenches should be properly backfilled with the excavated soils at the optimum moisture content to ensure that sub-surface inundation does not occur. On reactive clay sites, effort should be made to locate service trenches away from the building to eliminate the potential of movement that can be caused by surface trench inundation. The excavation of surface trenches should also be undertaken with regard to a footings angle of repose - See Note 2 of the Appendix.

DATE: 19 June 2015 CLIENT: WEBB AUSTRALIA GROUP (VIC) PTY LTD ATTN: MR R HAMILTON LEVEL 9 128 EXHIBITION STREET MELBOURNE VIC 3000 SITE: Shared Path PORT MELBOURNE VIC REF No.: 15D027 We have been requested to supply design parameters for a pier footings on this site. The client is advised to recognise that due to some contamination of the existing fill soils, the deeper pile option may lead to increased tipping costs. During our investigations we encountered areas of impenetrable filling on this site. As such final founding depths for some areas cannot be determined. We do however note that similar natural soil profiles are encountered at either end of the project and at locations in between. Based on this we make the following recommendations:
Pier Footing Recommendations: We recommend an ENGINEER designed footing system for this site. At depths in excess of 300mm into the Natural Medium Dense Sand or at 1000mm – WHICHEVER IS DEEPER. At these depths a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 100kPa may be adopted.

22 ≥1000mm
23 ≥2300mm
24 ≥1100mm
25 1300mm
* Engineering Considerations may require greater foundation depths than
recommended above.
Skin friction of 30kPa may be adopted for depths in excess of for both the Filling and Natural Sands.
An angle of internal friction of 30 degrees may be adopted for the Filling and Natural Sands on this site.
NOTE: While designing this system the ENGINEER should note that we consider this site to have a LOW soil reactivity (ie similar to CLASS A type).
NOTE: We recommend that the client pay particular attention to the information, notes & appendices contained in our original report.
We hope this information meets with your requirements. If you have any queries regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact myself at the abovementioned office.
