locations using Total Station of two seconds accuracy and prepare Plans (Maps) on a scale of 1:1000
taking all physical features like existing trees, railway line, buildings, boundary wall, temples, well,
canal, pipeline, roads (pucca and kuccha) etc. The spacing between two spot levels was limited to 5.0
m over area. The Level Survey was used to shall generate: (a) The location, layout and levels of all
existing structures shall be presented (b) Spot levels at locations over area at an interval not
exceeding 5 m. (c) Contour maps at site. The grids for the survey work shall be established in N-S &
EW direction (Corresponding to magnetic North) and the survey reference was spheroid WGS 84 (d)
Carrying out the Bench Mark (GTS/any other reference Bench Mark as approved by AECOM) to
site/sites by double levelling, establishing and marking bench marks on existing structures in the field
over the entire survey area.
The nearest airport is located at Dabolim in Goa. The Latitude and Longitude of the nine locations for
the proposed jetties is provided in the Table 1-1. Locations of the proposed jetties are shown in
Figure 1.1.
The climate is tropical monsoon (summer max. at 32–33°C and winter min. at 19–20°C). The state's
three seasons are: Southwest monsoon period (June – September) and during this monsoon period
experiences 89% of annual rainfall, post monsoon period (October – January) and fair weather period
(February – May). Average rainfall in this area is about 2611.7 mm falling mostly between June and
September.

1.3 Methodology Adopted & Instruments Deployed for

Topographical Survey
1.3.1 Reconnaissance Survey
Reconnaissance of the proposed locations was carried out while conducting the main planimetric
control traverses and height control traverses. The reconnaissance team considered the basic trend
of the land, habitations and forest density. During reconnaissance survey the location of control
points were fixed.
1.3.2 Planimetric Control Survey
Two (2) control points were established using DGPS at each of the nine (9) locations. Due to the
limited size of the locations a close traverse was not required. The coordinate of the starting location
was based on the coordinates obtained from DGPS. The bearing was fixed based on the bearing
provided by the DGPS coordinates of a second station.
1.3.3 Height Control Survey
Height control traverse was run by connecting the local Bench Mark (BM) available at the nearest
railway station for each of the locations as provided in Table 1-2. The value of the BM was taken
equal to the value provided in the station board. Double tertiary levelling was carried out to find out
the closing error which was balanced and the error distributed as per standard practice. On
completion of the level traverse temporary Bench Marks were kept for further detailing in height
distribution and digital terrain modelling of the locations.

3.0 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS
3.1 Introduction
Geotechnical investigation works for the preparation of Detailed Project Report for Development of
Coastal Jetties at Goa was entrusted to Fargo Consultants Pvt. Ltd., CF-394 Sector-I, Salt Lake City,
Kolkata 700064 by AECOM India Pvt. Ltd., 5th Floor, Tower B, Building No. 10, DLF Cyber City, DLF
Phase II Gurgaon 122002, Haryana, India.
3.2 Scope of Work
The scope of the soil investigation work consisted of sinking three (3) boreholes in land and three (3)
boreholes in underwater location at each of the nine locations. The boreholes will be terminated at a
maximum depth of 30.00m or 5m in soft rock or 3m in hard rock. Soil borings included collection of
undisturbed / disturbed soil samples and conducting Standard Penetration Tests. Rock drilling
included collection of rock samples and determination of recovery and RQD.
The formation at the site is to be reported for various layers present at their respective depths along
with their thickness. As ground water table location influences the method of construction of
foundation at a site, its location also needs to be found out.
During sinking of boreholes soil samples both in disturbed and undisturbed conditions were to be
collected for laboratory tests. The disturbed samples would be subjected to tests to obtain soil index
properties. The undisturbed soil samples, however, would be used mainly for conducting tests to
obtain bulk density, shear strength parameters as well as consolidation characteristics of the soil
representing the strata. Rock samples are required to be tested for physical properties water
absorption, unit weight, porosity and uniaxial compressive strength (UCS).
3.3 Location
The nine sites are located in Goa along the Mandovi River, Mapusa River and Zuari River. The
nearest airport is located at Dabolim. The Latitude and Longitude of the nine locations for the
proposed jetties is provided in the Table 3-1. Locations of the proposed jetties are shown in
Figure 3.1.

3.5 Topography
Goa forms a part of the coastal tract of the mid-West coast of India. Physiographically, Goa is divided
into three broad zones namely the Coastal plain in the west, the Midland region in the centre and the
Western Ghats in the east (Figure 3.2). The Coastal plain consists of sandy beaches, sand dunes,
estuarine alluvium, tidal mudflats, saltpans, Khazan lands and marshes. The Coastal plain is often
interrupted by low dissected laterite capped tablelands. The central Midland region consists of
moderately high, elongated, denudational hills trending in NW-SE direction separated by undulate
tracts of deeply weathered etch-plain. Finally, the high imposing hills and steep escarpment of the
Western Ghats in the east runs in a general north-south direction. Further east, the Karnataka plateau
borders the State. The Coastal plain ranges between 2 m to 15 m above mean sea level (amsl) while
the flat tops of the coastal tablelands are elevated 50-80 m amsl. The ridges of the Midland vary in
elevation from 100 to 400 m while the intermountain etch-plain ranges between 30 to 60 m amsl. The
Western Ghats have an average elevation of about 800 m amsl in Goa (Figure 3.3).

FIGURE 3.3 A SCHEMATIC PROFILE OF GOA ALONG EAST-,.WEST DIRECTION SHOWING THE VARIOUS
PHYSIOGRAPHIC UNITS

and Survey Report
The two major rivers of Goa, namely the Mandovi and the Zuari River along with Kumbharjua Canal,
that links the two rivers naturally, are navigable up to 40 km inland and thus play an important role in
the export of the iron ore by providing efficient and economically cheaper means of transport. The
Mandovi River has been regarded as the lifeline of the State as its watershed covers about 42% of the
total area of the State and its water is extensively used for drinking, transportation, agriculture,
fisheries, etc. It has five main tributaries, namely Mhadei, Khandepar, Valvanti, Mapusa and
Sinquerim River.
3.6 Geology
The regional geology in general and local geology in particular is very important in understanding
hydrogeological characters of an area. The occurrence and movement of groundwater directly
depends on the openings within the rock formations. The nature of rock type, the degree of rock
deformation and the extent of weathering play a significant role in the formation of porosity.
The State of Goa is located on the Western Dharwar craton. It constitutes the north-westerly
extension of the greenstone-granitoid terrain of Karnataka, comprising rocks of the Peninsular
Gneissic Complex (PGC) and Dharwar Supergroup of Precambrian age. The PGC is well exposed
along the Western Ghats in North Goa and around Chauri and Quepem in the South Goa. The rocks
of the Dharwar Supergroup are represented by the northern extension of the Shimoga schist belt
locally classified as ‘Goa Group’ (Gokul et al, 1985). The rocks of the PGC and the Goa Group are
intruded by mafic-ultramafic complexes, younger granites and mafic intrusives. A narrow strip in the
north eastern corner of the State is covered by Deccan Traps of late Cretaceous-lower Eocene age
(Figure 3.4). Most of these rocks are often hidden below a thick weathered lateritic cap and/or a soil
cover of varying thickness.
The oldest known rock found in Goa is the Anmod Ghat Trondhjemitic Gneiss. The Peninsular
gneisses are grey, medium to coarse grained, banded or migmatitic and grade in composition from
Tonalite- Trondhjemite- Granodiorite. These gneisses form the basement for the Goa Group of rocks.
The Goa Group of rocks consists of meta-volcanic and meta-sedimentary rock assemblage
characterized by greywackes, argillites, tuffs, agglomerates, mafic lavas and banded iron formation. It
has undergone greenschist facies of regional metamorphism and is broadly comparable to the
Chitradurga Group of Karnataka (Gokul et al, 1985). The Goa Group is divided into four formations,
namely the Barcem, Sanvordem, Bicholim-Rivona and Vageri Formations in the ascending order of
superposition (Table 3-2).
The PGC and the Goa group of rocks have been intruded by Bondla mafic-ultramafic complex and
granites which occur as plutons, plugs and apophyses (GSI, 1996), the most important being the
porphyritic Canacona Granite and the Dudhsagar Granite. These are followed by mafic intrusives.
These rocks are overlain by Deccan Traps represented by horizontally disposed massive and
vesicular basaltic lava flows. During the late Cenozoic period the rocks were subjected to intense
chemical weathering resulting in a laterite cover of varying thickness (Widdowson, 2009). Beach
sands, sand dunes and alluvium occurring along the low lying coastal area and narrow alluvial strips
along rivers and streams are of sub-recent to recent age. Laterite constitutes the most widespread
and important water bearing formation in the State.

and Survey Report
The Dharwarian rocks were folded, fractured and faulted in several episodes of tectonic activity.
Gokul, et al (1985) has noted three phases of folding in the rocks of the Goa Group. The first fold
movement, F1, resulted in a general WNW-ESE trend preserved in the south western part of Goa.
The second cycle of folding, F2, which was the most powerful movement imparted the NW-SE
Dharwarian trend to these rocks. The third fold movement, F3, which was relatively milder and is
noticed only in the north-eastern part of the State, has resulted in a northwest plunging broad open
synclinal fold. In the eastern margin of the territory, along the Western Ghats, rocks exhibit evidences
of intense shearing and mylonitisation which are related to the upliftment of Karnataka plateau on the
east.
3.6.1 Laterite
The laterites of Goa constitute a significant geological formation as it forms the most important aquifer
in the State covering a large geographical area. One of the most remarkable aspects of laterites in
Goa is their ubiquitous development on a wide range of rock types. They have developed upon the
variety of Dharwar schists and metasediments, the more mafic gneisses, the mafic- ultramafic
intrusives and the Deccan basalts. However, laterite is often absent in those areas where granite is
exposed and is sparsely developed over most Peninsular gneisses. Laterites are either developed
insitu (autochthonous) on crystalline rocks and on alluvial valley fills or of detrital origin
(allochthonous) which are generally occupying hill slopes and valley portions.
Laterite is a manifestation of intense tropical deep weathering of rocks that occurs when favourable
climatic conditions exist. The degree of weathering typically diminishes with depth producing a
weathering profile. The top of the weathering profile is characterised by hard, massive, highly
indurated iron-rich material called ‘duricrust’, followed downward by a semi-indurated mottled zone
comprising iron segregations. These zones have vermiform or tubular texture that promotes a good
vertical drainage of percolating water. These zones are followed downward by lithomarge clay called
‘saprolite’ in which structures and/or individual crystal pseudomorphs from the parent rock may still be
recognised. It is dominantly composed of kaolinite along with unaltered core-stones of the protolith.
The saprolite is generally devoid of voids, conduits or fissures and therefore has a poor permeability.
However, occasionally it contains sand mixed clays which are porous and permeable. The lithomarge
clay gradually progresses into the unaltered basement rock.
The coastal tablelands which are an important geomorphic feature of the State are invariably made up
of a thick sequence of autochthonous laterite. They are generally capped by a hard duricrust of
typically 5-10 m thickness followed downward by the less indurated lower layer of the weathering
profile which is susceptible to preferential erosion when exposed. The faster erosion of this lower
layer at the edges of the tablelands results in topographic cambering and subsequent sliding of the
overlying duricrust fragments which get accumulated at the foot and steep slopes of the tablelands.
The steep slopes of the tablelands are mantled with detrital lateritized debris and clays resulting in the
development of allochthonous laterite. The denudational ridges and the intermountain etch-plains of
the Midland region of Goa are also covered by a thick layer of laterite. However, the high hills of the
Western Ghats are often devoid of laterite cover. The laterites and the crystalline rocks are often
covered by a thin soil cover.

3.7 Seismic History
A series of minor tremors were felt in towns in Canacona taluka in the district of South Goa in January
2004 beginning 7 January 2004. The exact location of the epicentre of this earthquake is unknown at
this point though it does seem to be somewhere in the Canacona region in southern Goa. Goa is
listed in Zone-III as per IS 1893 (Part 1) 2002.

and Survey Report
The boreholes of 150mm diameter were explored with the help of auger and mud rotary circulation as
per IS 1892 - 1979. Here the auger was turned in the bottom of the hole through auger pipes. Due to
this the soil cuttings were held in the auger and were drawn to the surface by pulling the auger out of
the hole each time the auger was filled. In continuation to auger boring mud rotary boring method was
employed. In this method the boring was advanced by a cutter fixed to drill pipes, which were rotated
by means of pipe wrenches. Bentonite was pushed simultaneously by a mechanical pump. The slurry
flowing out of cutter bottom mixes up with the cut soil and flows up to the ground surface and slurry
tank after passing through setting pits and back to the slurry tank. The process was continuous and
the same slurry can be used several times. The cutting tool was lowered slowly with the help of a
double pulley system fixed on a tripod. This method of boring was followed upto the explored depth in
each borehole.
Seamless flush jointed steel casing of 150mm internal diameter was used to prevent any caving of
boreholes and it was inserted simultaneously with the advancement of boring operation whenever
required.
The undisturbed samples were collected from the boreholes wherever possible, with the help of a thin
walled sampler, as per the IS: 2132-1986 “Code of practice for thin walled tube sampling of soils”. The
area ratio of the sampler was of the order of twelve percent and the inside clearance was around two
percent. The sample tube about 450mm long and 100mm inner diameter, was coupled with the
sampler with a drive head, vent holes and ball check valve to complete the sampling assembly. While
sampling below the water table inside the borehole, the entrapped water has the opportunity to
escape through this valve at the top. The sampling assembly was then lowered inside the boreholes
by connecting a string of ‘A’ / ‘AW’ size drill rods to it. The assembly was driven to a predetermined
depth with the help of jarring link. On completion of sampling operation, the sampler was first rotated
(so that the soil would shear off on a horizontal plane at the cutting shoe edge) and then raised to the
surface. The undisturbed sample was waxed at both ends with proper identification mark on the tube
sampler. Undisturbed samples were not collected from hard cohesive soils.
Standard Penetration Tests were conducted inside the boreholes at 3.0m intervals as per IS: 2131-
1981 “Method of Standard Penetration Tests for soils”. The split spoon sampler used was of standard
design and dimension. The spoon was advanced by driving with a drop hammer weighing 63.5 kg
falling freely through a height of 75cm. A record of the number of blows required to penetrate every
15cm. to a depth of 45cm. was kept. The number of blows required for the last 30cm penetration of
the split spoon sampler was recorded as ‘N’ – value. On completion of the test, the sampler was lifted
to the ground, opened and the specimen of the soil sample was stored in double polythene bags with
the proper identification mark. The penetration number, ‘N’, has been shown against the
corresponding depths in the field bore logs. The distributions of field ‘N’ values with RL at different
locations are shown in the attached figures.
Representative disturbed samples were collected regularly and wherever the stratum changed. These
samples were taken from the cutting edge of the cutter and the split spoon samplers after standard
penetration tests. These samples were labelled depth wise and used in the preparation of borehole
log and for general identification and classification purposes.
The boreholes were then extended to the termination depth by rotary core drilling technique using
diamond bits. Drilling was done with standard G.O. type rotary drilling machine as per IS: 6926-1973.

and Survey Report
In this method the hole is advanced by rotating a system consisting of a series of hollow drill roads to
the bottom of which is attached a double tube core barrel with diamond coring bit, by means of a
diesel operated engine. When the rod with the coring bit is rotated, downward pressure is applied to
the system for penetration in the rocky strata and water under pressure is introduced into the bottom
of the hole through the hollow drill rods. Water comes up through the annular space between the drill
rods the borehole and is collected in the water sump, from where it is re-circulated. Water served the
dual function of cooling the bit as it enters the hole and carrying the cuttings from the bottom of the
hole on its return journey to the surface.
Seamless flush jointed steel casing of NX sizes were used to prevent any caving and water loss from
holes and they were inserted simultaneously with the advancement of drilling operation. Rocky core
samples were collected in standard NX size barrel and stored as per IS: 4464-1967 and IS: 4078-
1967.
The depth of water level in the boreholes was determined 24 hours after the completion of boring so
that the water in the boreholes could come to equilibrium with the water table. No artesian condition
was encountered in any borehole.
The completed boreholes were backfilled with excavated material with all the safety precaution in
order to avoid any mishap.
The field investigation work commenced on 13th December 2017. Field work is expected to be
th
completed by 28 February 2018.

3.10 Observations
During boring in land locations at four locations it was observed that hard dessicated lateritic layer
was underlain by a soft soil layer in almost all the boreholes. The thickness of the soft layer is limited
to a thickness of approximately 3m-4m. In some of the boreholes the depth at which the soft layer
encountered varied between 2.70m to 5.2m. Underlying the soft layer is very stiff to hard lateritic/silty
clay/lateritic rock layer. For light structures with foundation width not exceeding 1.0m at a founding
depth of 1.0m below existing ground level the safe bearing capacity can be adopted as 8t/m².
However, if heavy structures are proposed foundations will have to be rested in the layer underlying
the soft layer. Open foundations at higher depths may not be economically feasible due to dewatering
costs if permeability of the soil is high. If deep foundation is to be adopted then small diameter piles
should be adopted to limit the depth requirement to satisfy the criteria for long pile. Investigation for
underwater locations has not been initiated. Recommendations for safe bearing capacity for open
foundations and pile load carrying capacity will be provided separately alongwith the engineering
designs.
The ground water level has been found to exist at a depth of 1.00m to 3.00mbelow existing ground
level during the period of fieldwork. The borehole location plans are provided in Annexure B.
