 REPORT ON SOIL INVESTIGATION CARRIED OUT FOR
THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF SOLAR PANEL
FOUNDATION AT THRIPPUNITHURA, ERNAKULAM.

1. SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of the project envisages sub-surface investigation carried
out for the purpose of the design of foundation for the proposed project. The
scope of the work also involves executing Six Bore Holes with related field tests,
collection of disturbed SPT Soil Samples.

2. CODES AND STANDARDS

All works were carried our as per given specification. Where not
specified, the latest relevant IS codes were followed.

3. PURPOSE
The purpose of the proposed Geo-Technical Investigation was to obtain
the following:-

a. To perform the required field investigation including soil boring with

related field tests within the bore hole, collecting samples.

b. To determine the type, extent to the sub-surface material upto 8.70m &
10.50m depth.

4. FIELD WORKS / TESTS

The Field work consists of:-
a. Executing Six Bore Holes upto 8.70m & 10.50m depth.

b. Obtaining disturbed soil samples and finding out SPT ‘N’ values.
 5 . PROGRAMME OF INVESTIGATION
Keeping in view of the type of structure and loading pattern Six Bore
Holes were proposed. The details of the boreholes are attached duly showing
the approximate dimensions with respect to the site. (Site Plan).

6. PROCEDURE
The Boreholes were executed using Auger Drilling method. Circulation
of bentonite slurry was used for advancing the boreholes and stabilizing the
side. Casing pipes were introduced to protect the first few meters. Standard
penetration tests were conducted at regular intervals and also at points where
change of strata was observed. Representative samples were collected and
sent all BH’s for laboratory analysis. Foundation recommendation obtained
from structural consultant.

7. LABORATORY INVESTIGATION

Laboratory tests consists of the following:-

a) Physical identification of soil

b) Determination of natural water content.

c) Specific Gravity

d) Atterberg’s limit (Liquid limit and plastic limit)

e) Mechanical analysis of finding sand, clay and soil fractions.

Borehole Details

In BH-3, From ground level to 2.6 m slightly clayey silty fine sand having N value 1
is found. Below this layer slightly sandy clayey silt with N value 0 is available
between 2.6 m to 5.6 m. Following the above layer 5.6 m to 8.5 m is found to be
clayey gravelly silty sand with N value varying 8 to 13. From 8.5 m to 10.5 m slightly
gravelly clayey sandy silt having N value varying from 9 to 12 was noted. Water table
was noted at a depth of 0.1 m from ground level in the borehole during the time of
investigation.

Recommendation

1.BH 1 & 2: For medium structures, tractor bored pile resting in slightly sandy clayey
silt with N Value > 50 at a depth of 8.7 m, can be provided with the following
capacities. Ensure the same strata is available up to a depth of 4 m from the pile tip.

2.BH 3 & 4: For medium structures, tractor bored pile resting in slightly gravelly
clayey sandy silt with N Value > 12 at a depth of 10.5 m, can be provided with the
following capacities. Ensure the same strata is available up to a depth of 4 m from the
pile tip.

3.BH 5 & 6: For medium structures, tractor bored pile resting in slightly gravelly
clayey silty sand / clayey gravelly silty sand with N Value > 17 at a depth of 7.5 m,
can be provided with the following capacities. Ensure the same strata is available
throughout the site.

4. Load test recommended.

5. Foundation to be constructed as per latest IS codes and to be certified by a

qualified site engineer.

6. Above recommendations are based on the soil investigation report and lab report.
Any difference in soil profile to be emailed to the consultant to modify the
recommendation or to the designer to change the design.
