1. GENERAL
This document has been prepared as a financial offer for geotechnical investigation to be
undertaken for Libya Cold Storage Project at Misurata Free Zone. This offer was prepared up
on request of Alpayrak Tourism Company.

The site investigation will be carried out in accordance with ASTM and BS 5930 standards.
Rotech will be responsible for the site investigation, laboratory testing, and preparation of
factual and interpretative report.

2. SITE INVESTIGATION
2.1. SETTING OUT
Prior to commencement of investigation, location of boreholes will be marked on site by the
Rotech’s surveyors using hand GPS and agreed with the client’s engineer.

2.2. EXPLORATION POINTS LOCATIONS

Boreholes will be located within a 0.25 m radius of the positions shown on submitted drawing,
unless otherwise agreed with the Client, (this tolerance in position is intended to allow for any
local obstruction).

2.3. MINIMUM NUMBER, LOCATION AND DEPTH OF EXPLORATION POINTS

Total of 10 boreholes will be located within the area of building and cold storage area, and
taken to a maximum depth of 30 m in soil and 8 m in rock. the boreholes will be advanced
using rotary rig equipped with standard hummer in order to carry out SPT test. The rock strata
will be cored using double-tube core barrel NQ size. Bentonite-mud will be used during the
drilling in order to avoid water loss.

8 Trial pits will be excavated to maximum depth of 2 m along the roads and within open
storage area. the rial pit will be logged and by geologist and field density will be measured for
each layer using sand cone method. Bulk samples will be obtained from each trial pit for
laboratory test.

4 Plate loading tests will be carried out for calculation of subgrade reaction of the concrete
paved area.

3. LABORATORY TESTING
• As a minimum, the laboratory tests shall show the following information:
• Moisture content. (ASTM D2216)
• Soil grain size distribution. (ASTM D422)
• Atterberg limits. (ASTM D4318)
• Soil chemical analysis. (BS 1377-3)
• Direct shear test if required. (ASTM D3080)
• Rock point load. (ASTM D 5731)
• Unconfined compressive strength of rock core (ASTM D7012)

Project – Misurata Free Zone Date: 20/12/2021

• Compaction test (ASTM D1557)

• CBR test (ASTM D1883)

4. GEOTECHNICAL REPORTING
The geotechnical engineering report, needed for the detail engineering phase, shall be
indicated the following data about subsurface conditions, design parameters and foundations
recommendations:

• An introduction to describe the project to which the report applies, to the extent that it
has been defined. The introduction shall also include description of the existing site,
including the local geology, surficial features and existing facilities in the immediate
vicinity of the site
• A general description of the subsurface investigation, including the sampling methods
and number and type of samples and in-situ/laboratory testing, including corrosion
testing. Existing soil borings and associated laboratory test results shall also be
incorporated into the report
• A description of subsurface conditions including soil and bedrock stratification, soil and
rock type, groundwater conditions, depth of bedrock, and any unusual conditions such
as presence of loose soils, voids, perched water or contaminated soil
• Final typed boring logs and laboratory test results signed by the geotechnical firm’s
professional engineer
• Photographs of the on-site drilling equipment, soil and rock sample collection, and rock
cores
• Recommended geotechnical parameters
• Groundwater level at the time of drilling and daily reading of observation wells during
site investigation
• Recommend foundation type if necessary (i.e., shallow footings versus mat
foundations or piles)
• Allowable bearing capacity for footings, raft foundations or pile foundation
• Minimum depth of embedment of shallow foundations and corresponding allowable
bearing capacity
• Estimate of foundation settlement
• Coefficient of subgrade reaction for slab on grade and mat foundations (Derived from
SPT)
• Recommendation for deep excavation
• Evaluation of liquefaction potential of loose soils below groundwater table.
• Site Category for seismic design
• Recommendations for reuse of on-site soils
• Recommendations on corrosion potential of soil and groundwater on concrete and
steel and remedial measures.
• Recommendation for design CBR
