8. BORING
8.1 PLANT
The Plant which the SUBCONTRACTOR proposes to use in the work shall be modern and the latest most
suitable equipment in good working condition. Boring in soil and in rock shall be carried out using a rotary
core drill. The use of light percussion drills with the percussion carefully controlled by cables and drum,
and employing the "shell and auger" technique, may be permitted at the discretion of CONTRACTOR. The
SUBCONTRACTOR shall not claim for extra payment, other than what is already provided for in the Price
Schedule if the SUBCONTRACTOR subsequently has to mobilize a rotary core drill for coring into hard
material inside the borehole first bored by the light percussion drill.
If SUBCONTRACTOR is instructed by CONTRACTOR to use additional equipment or additional boring

rigs to ensure completion of the Works within the specified completion time (including extensions thereto
which may be authorized by CONTRACTOR), SUBCONTRACTOR shall not be reimbursed for bringing
additional plant to the Site. SUBCONTRACTOR shall employ the most expeditious measures and act with
the utmost promptness to comply with CONTRACTOR 's instructions.
SUBCONTRACTOR shall provide such platforms as may be necessary to keep drill rigs level when putting
down vertical borings on sloped land or when boring in a body of water.

SUBCONTRACTOR shall provide suitable means for generating water pressure for jetting. Water pressure
shall be adequate to provide a minimum jet nozzle discharge pressure of 10.55 kg/sq.cm (150 lb/sq.in).
The boring equipment and supplies used shall be such that boring to a maximum depth of 90m below ground.
If necessary when a given size of casing cannot be advanced further, smaller and nesting string of casing
shall be used during continued advance of the borehole so that the maximum depth specified in this clause
can be reached when required. The size of the smallest casing shall not be less than that required by Clause
8.4 of this Specification.
8.2 ADVANCE OF BOREHOLES
SUBCONTRACTOR shall use a method for advancing the boreholes strictly complying with the provisions
of this Specification and of other parts of the Subcontract.
Prior to carrying out any boring or penetration into the ground, hand digging up to 1.5m deep is required to
check for underground facility or interference. This pilot digging is essential to avoid any accidental harm
to underground utilities. Thickness of top soil shall be measured and recorded in the bore log.
Boring without casing may be permitted provided that there is no collapse to the wall of the uncased
borehole. A collapse is considered to have occurred when there is a mingling of soil or rock from different
depths inside the borehole. The size of the cased or uncased boreholes shall be such that the requirements
as described in the following sections in respect of sampling, ground water observations, field test and
records are satisfied.
Casing shall be provided as soon as there are signs that the walls of the boreholes are collapsing. Cased
boring shall conform to Clause 8.4 of this Specification.
The method of advance of boreholes shall be such that an accurate and continuous observation of the
borehole material is possible throughout the boring process and no mingling of borehole materials from
various depths is allowed to occur.
Where undisturbed samples are required, the boring procedure to be used shall be such that a reasonably
clean hole is provided and the soil to be sampled is not unduly disturbed.
When boring through formations (e.g. fine sand) which are subject to heave, the water level in the borehole
shall be maintained so that there is no difference in water head between inside and outside the borehole.
8.3 DEPTH OF BORING
The number and locations of boreholes shall be specified by CONTRACTOR.
The depth of boring may vary from that shown for a typical borehole and it shall be understood that the
variations shall not affect the rate in the pricing.
In general, the SUBCONTRACTOR shall be required to penetrate at least 10.5 m into material with N values
in the Standard Penetration Test of 50 blows for penetration 300 mm or less.
If rock is encountered before reaching the provisional borehole depths indicated, rotary coring with a
diamond drill bit shall be made at least 3.0m into rock unless otherwise specified and approved by
CONTRACTOR. These minimum borehole termination criteria shall be assessed and determined by
CONTRACTOR based on the purposed of the supplementary soil investigation works.

8.4 CASED BORINGS

In the event that casing is required as described in Clause 8.2 of this Specification, the casing shall not be
inferior to that specified in [B3] and shall be used in lengths not greater than 2.0m.
Water may be used to facilitate advancing the casing only when, in the opinion of SUBCONTRACTOR,
difficult driving requires the use of water. Where such use of water is permitted, a record must be kept of
the elevations between which the water was used in driving the casing.
Cleaning out the casing between samples with water will generally be allowed, but when the moisture content
of the material below the casing, of which a sample is desired, may be altered by introducing a head of water
in the hole, the casing must be cleaned dry by means of augers or a drive pipe. If water is used to clean out
the casing no washing shall be permitted below the bottom of the casing except as provided hereinabove.
When boring in soil, the casing shall not be driven until the soil has washed out below the casing for the
depth that the casing is necessary, to prevent the collapse of borehole material at the bottom of the borehole.
Drilling from the surface with flush-coupled casing may also be permitted provided the specified sampling
operation is not jeopardized.
8.5 ROCK DRILLING
Procedure for rock drilling shall be in accordance with [B5] and using a triple tube core barrel.
The Core diameters shall be minimum 54mm dia.
8.6 CORE RECOVERY RATIO (CRR) AND ROCK QUALITY DESIGNATION (RQD)
Coring runs shall be limited to 1.5m.
The Core Recovery Ratio (CRR) and Rock Quality Designation (RQD) 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 quality cores over the drilling run, expressed to the
nearest 5%. The RQD is the percentage of the total length of good quality cores each exceeding 100 mm in
length over the drilling run, expressed to the nearest 5%. Any length of core containing breaks caused during
drilling or handling shall be considered as solid when computing the RQD.
8.7 DRILLING OBSTRUCTIONS
It shall be SUBCONTRACTOR 's responsibilities when boulders or other obstacles are encountered to
advance the borehole using chisel or similar approved tool for a minimum time of 1 hour in an attempt to
penetrate the hard strata or obstructions. Upon completion of the above requirement, SUBCONTRACTOR
may either continue chiseling or to change to a rotary drilling or to terminate the borehole.
8.8 ABANDONED BORINGS
No measurement or payment will be made for borings abandoned or lost before reaching the specified depths
except as otherwise provided hereinafter for false starts, or so abandoned are acceptable. Except with the
permission of CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTOR shall not abandon or complete any boring or remove
any casing or drilling equipment without first affording CONTRACTOR the opportunity of obtaining the
position and depth of the boring prior to abandonment or completion, and any other information which may
require. No allowance or payment whatsoever will be made for any boring abandoned or completed without

compliance with these stipulations. In addition, in order to receive consideration for payment for abandoned
borings, SUBCONTRACTOR shall furnish CONTRACTOR with complete records and samples for the
depths penetrated in the manner prescribed for completed borings.

For boreholes advanced without use of drilling fluid and when water is first encountered,
the depth of water level shall be recorded and exploratory hole operations stopped. The
depth from existing ground to water level shall again be recorded at five (5) minutes
intervals until no further rise is observed. However, if at the end of a period of 20 minutes
the water level is still rising, the monitoring shall continue until no further rise is recorded.
If casing is used and this forms a seal against the entry of ground water, the CONTRACTOR
shall record the depth at which no further entry or insignificant infiltration of water occurs.
Where applicable, every effort shall be made to seal off each water strike.
Where ground water occurs as a slow seepage into the exploratory hole, the point of entry
of the seepage shall be recorded and water levels monitored as specified above.
11.1.3 Subsequent Encounter
When further changes in water levels occur such as when lower water tables are found after
upper water tables have been sealed off by the casing, they shall be recorded as in Sub-
clause 10.1.1 above.

11.1.4 Beginning and End of Shift
For all types of cased boreholes, before a day's work is completed, the casing shall be pulled
up by about 0.3m and left in such a position overnight. The ground water level shall be
recorded as the last operation of the day and the first operation on the following day's boring.
