Recommendations Following recommendations are made for the proposed Ground + two floors building based on the Geophysical

resistivity survey and the geotechnical analysis reports provided by the client. Geophysical resistivity survey results are considered for the generalized soil profile of the study area and the geotechnical investigation results are adopted in the foundation recommendation.

1. The generalized soil profile of the area is Bore Hole No: H4 Depth From To 0.00 4.25 4.25 9.75 10.75 12.75 17.50 9.75 10.75 12.75 17.50 18.00 Layer Type of soil thickness 4.25 Silty sand 5.50 1.00 2.00 4.75 0.50 Clay Clayey sand Clay Sand Clay Bore Hole No: S1 Depth Layer To From thickness 0.00 17.0 17.00 0 Type of soil Clay

4. It is recommended to do pile load for each locations (H4 & S1) to confirm the safe

load carrying capacity of the individual pile. Necessary changes shall be made based on the outcome of the pile load test.
