These new specifications are not only aimed at keeping abreast with current technologies but also in helping to improve the quality of constructed product. In unison, these new specifications have a significant positive impact on the construction industry especially with the incorporation of new products and technologies. Standard Specification for Road Works is an essential component in the road infrastructure construction industry. This Specification provides an improved guidance in the material selection and the production of good quality workmanship and products, based on current best practices. The purpose of this standard specification is to establish uniformity in road works to be used by road designers, road authorities, manufacturers and suppliers of road related products. This document “Standard Specification for Road Works - Section 17: Site Investigation” is a new section to the Standard Specification for Road Works. The compilation of this document was carried out through many discussions by the technical committee members. Additionally it has been presented at a technical workshop held on 16" — 17" October 2012. Feedbacks and comments received were carefully considered and incorporated in the specification where appropriate. This Specification had also been presented in the Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Spesifikasi Piawai JKR bagi Kerja-kerja Jalan Bil. 2/2013 on 6" February 2013 and finally approved in the Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pemandu Pengurusan Bil. 17/2013 on 21" August 2013. The importance of site investigation cannot be over emphasised in civil engineering works be it new development, upgrading works or geotechnical forensic investigations. Specification for site investigation works is very crucial because it gives clear requirements and expectations of the project owners or the clients. Clear specifications can result in more accurate and representative site investigation works carried out with the right tools and instruments. Although this Specification was intended to form part of the Standard Specifications for Road Works, it can also be used for buildings and other civil engineering works necessary additions according to the design engineer's needs. st7iThis document will be reviewed and updated from time to time to cater for any changes on policies and current requirements. In this respect, any comments and feedback regarding this Specification should be forwarded to Unit Standard & Spesifikasi, Cawangan Kejuruteraan Jalan & Geoteknik.

The upper end shall be tapered with the s17-10(JKRISPJ/2013-817) upper edge curved slightly inwards to prevent fouling the side of the borehole on withdrawal of the core barrel. Triple tube core barrels shall be equipped with built in ball check pistons to ensure that the core is not subjected to water flushing when extracting the inner barrel containing the core. Casing shall be used to prevent collapse of the sides of the hole. The size of casing and drill rods shall be appropriate for the size of core barrel in use. All casing and drill rods shall be straight and in good condition, and shall be cleaned thoroughly before use to ensure that all scale, dirt, and other loose materials are removed. All drill rods shall be of standard lengths e.g. 3.0, 1.5, 0.75m. Short lengths of drill rods and casing shall be available to enable continuous coring to be carried out. Refer to Table 17.2.2 - Size of commonly used core barrels, casings and drill rods (same table can be referred at MS 2038: 2006: Clause 4.2.7.3 - Tablet). 17.2.11 Drilling Method ‘The method and equipment used shall be such that: - (2) The soil encountered and the levels of strata boundaries can be accurately identified. (b) Truly representative disturbed and undisturbed sample can be obtained and field installations incorporated at any depth in the borehole. Drilling shall be carried out in such a manner and using such sizes of bits including any required modification to the drill bit, such that the maximum amount of core is recovered. This requires close surveillance of drilling fluid, drilling pressures, lengths of runs and all other factors relevant to the nature of the material being drilled. The core barrel shall be withdrawn and the core removed as often as may be necessary to secure the maximum possible amount of core. Coring runs shall be limited to a maximum length of 1.5m. When less than 95% of the core is recovered from a run the length of the following run shall be reduced by 50% unless otherwise directed by the S.O. If less than 50% recovery is achieved the following run shall not exceed 0.5m until full recovery is achieved from two consecutive runs. sit(JKRISPJ/2013-S17) The core barrel shall be removed from the borehole immediately if blocking of the bit or grinding of the core is apparent regardless of the length of run which has been made. The Contractor shall in general use no driling lubricants in the borehole other than clean water, air or air with an approved drilling foam additive. Additives shall only be used in the flushing medium upon approval by the S.0. 17.212 Record of Drilling Equipment On the daily record sheet the driller shall record the type of core barrel and coring bit used. This information shall be recorded for each core run. 17.2.13 Extraction of Cores Core shall be extracted from double tube barrels using a hydraulic or similar approved extruder. The extruder shall apply a continuous pressure to one end of the core whilst the barrel is in a horizontal posi Drilling shall not be allowed to commence unless a suitable approved extruder is available on Site. No standing time shall be approved by the S.0. in respect of delays resulting from this requirement. Cores from triple tube barrels with continuous inner liners shall be carefully removed from the core barrel, sealed and labeled as specified. Cores from split-tube or triple tube shall be carefully removed from the core barrels using hydraulic pressure and be carefully transferred into split plastic tubes of the same internal diameter. The S.O. may instruct certain core lengths to be sealed in aluminium foil and waxed before sealing inside the plastic tube. Where airfoam is used as the flushing medium, a water supply with complete by-pass shall also be available and used for the extrusion of the split inner tubes form the core barrel. Under no circumstances shall air pressure be used for the extrusion of cores. The Contractor shall submit a detailed method statement explaining how the core shall be extracted from the core barrel. The Works shall not proceed until this method statement has been agreed with the S.O. 17.2.4 Gore Recovery Ratio (GRR) and Rock Quality Designation (RQD) The Core Recovery Ratio (CRR), Rock Quality Designation (RQD) and the Fracture Index (Fl) as described below shall be reported for each core run. Good quality core is defined as intact core having a fully circular circumference. The CRR shall mean the ratio of the total length of the good 817-12
