“anusry 20151 Introduction
Tonkin & Taylor Pty Ltd (T&T) was engaged by Sunland Developments No. 11 Pty Ltd to conduct a
field investigation with the purpose of assigning a Site Classification for Lot 158 in accordance
with Australian Standard 2870 2011 - Residential Slabs and Footings, and to recommend founding
depths for slab-on-ground footings, and strip/stump footings, if appropriate.
‘We understand that the proposed construction is to be one or two storey residential dwellings
within the Stage 1 Adresse Estate subdivision Point Cook, however, no drawings have been
provided of the proposed structure to be built, nor of its approximate location (footprint) on the
site.
This report isa site classification for Lot 158 in Stage 1 Adresse Estate, Point Cook
2 Regional Geology
The Department of State Development, Business and Innovation online geology indicates that the
site is underlain by Quaternary Newer Volcanics Formation consisting of basalt, minor scoria and
ash. This geology was generally confirmed during the site investigation.
‘As part of the subdivision works, controlled fill has been placed extensively within the broader
development site under level one supervision undertaken by T&T (refer to report T&T Ref.
3949,001 dated November 2014)
At the time of the investigation, the site was currently unoccupied and the ground surface was
essentially level. A nominal layer of topsoil was to be placed after the completion of the soil
testing
3 Field Investigation
Fieldwork was carried out on 3" December 2014. The fieldwork comprised:
‘+ Two (2) boreholes drilled by mechanical auger to 1.7m and 2.2m bgl (below ground level),
+ Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) test performed to effective refusal of the DCP or 1.5m.
bl whichever was the lesser, and
‘+ Hand Shear Vane (SV) tests performed on cohesive soil layers.
All fieldwork was carried out under the direction and full time presence of a T&T geotechnical
engineer who was responsible for: positioning the test locations; directing the extent of sampling
and testing; performing the dynamic cone penetrometer and hand shear vane tests; and logging
the conditions encountered. The locations of the field tests are shown on Appendix A. The
location of the fieldwork was recorded using a hand-held GPS unit and the accuracy of the survey
data is to within 5.0m tolerance.
The soil profile encountered in the boreholes consisted of gravelly clay CONTROLLED FILL to
depths ranging from 1.5m to 1.7m. In one of the boreholes, refusal on Basalt floater was
encountered directly under the CONTROLLED FILL at 1.7m bgl. In the other borehole, silty CLAY
‘was found underlying the CONTROLLED FILL to termination depth at 2.2m bgl where refusal on
Basalt floater was encountered. No ground water or perched water table was observed in the
boreholes drilled at this site.
‘The engineering field logs are presented in Appendix B. Material classification and logging
techniques were carried out in accordance with the attached explanatory notes and wherever
