M/s. BSNL LTD has proposal for the construction of Telecom Tower at site –SULTANPUR,
Sub-District -NAKUD, District- SAHARANPUR in UTTAR PRADESH. For the purpose of
construction, it is required to have the soil investigation data to identify the geology of the soil and
to identify the type of proposed foundation based on the reports. The work of geotechnical
investigation for the above said project was entrusted to M/s. E I H TeleinfraPvt Ltd, Aligarh,
Uttar Pradesh by M/s Dinesh Engineers Limited. The work of lab testing and report preparation
is entrusted to M/s Pranvi Infra Projects and Quality Control Pvt Ltd, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh
(An NABL accredited laboratory as per ISO/IEC 17025:2017)
The report presented herein deals with the analysis of field and laboratory test results, type and
depth of foundation and recommendations based on the type of soil and its safe bearing capacity of
soil.
2. OBJECTIVES OF INVESTIGATION
The purpose and objectives of investigation was to obtain the sub surface conditions at the site so
as to evaluate the soil parameter which are required for evaluating the safebearing capacity of soil
for the design and suitability of the foundation for the proposedstructure. The knowledge of
general geotechnical subsoil characteristics, compressibilityand information about ground water
table is an essential requirement for the geotechnical engineer, which would assist the designer to
design the foundation system.
3. SCOPE OF WORK
The detailed scope of work of geotechnical investigation for the project was limited to the
following:
Mobilization of equipment and personnel to the project site, setting up the equipment and carrying
out the field investigation and demobilization of the same after completion of fieldwork.
Drilling of one bore hole (BH-1) 150mm diameter of boring at specified location mentioned. As
per the work order it was requested to go with the manual boring upto a depth of 10.0 m bore or
N>100 achieved, whichever occurs earlier.
Conducting standard penetration test at regular depth intervals of 1.50m or at everychange of
strata whichever illustrates earlier and collect samples for further testing.
Laboratory testing for evaluating SBC as per latest IS codes. Submission of soil testing
reportwhich includes interpretation of test results and suggesting recommendations for net
safebearingcapacityofsoil.
4. GROUND WATER
Based on our measurement in the completed bore hole, water table was encountered a depth
of 9.0 m during exploration in the borehole. Fluctuations may take place due to surface
evaporation rates and variation in seasonal rainfall. So, water table rise is not adopted and
water table correction is not taken for the calculations of desired bearing capacity and
settlement criteria.
5. SEISMIC ZONE
District SAHARANPUR falls under high Risk Zone-IV as per IS-1893 (Part-I) : 2016.
6. SITE STRATIGRAPHY
Based on our investigation in field and laboratory, it is revealed that the soil at site is:
BH-1: Consists of Non-cohesive soil for up to 7.5 m from the borehole explored and
than followed by cohessive strata (Clayey Sand). Detailed soil description is presented
in the summery of test results report which is attached in the annexure.
Disturbed samples were collected from the split spoon after conducting SPT. Thesamples are
preserved in transparent polythene bags. UDS were collected by driving 75 mm dia meter
thin walled tubes using a 63.5kg hammer in accordance with IS:2132.
The tubes are sealed with wax at both ends to minimize loss of moisture. All samples were
transported to our laboratory for further examination and testing.

DECLARATION
1. The recommendations are based on the field investigation data results and laboratory tests results which are assumed by our
experience in this regards as there was no sample collected from the test locations because of refusal at that particular point
or location.
2. All the test results which are obtained by testing the samples collected in the laboratory and laboratory is not responsible if
any discrepancy is observed regarding the strata and properties of soil at the site in future.
3. Sample bearing capacity calculation and settlements are attached in Annexure-II
4. If the actual sub-soil conditions during excavation for the foundations differ from that has been reported, are ference should
be made to us for suggestions.
5. Further, the recommendations are based on the assumptions as mentioned in the report and the designer of the structure should
take into consideration all the factors required as per codes.
6. There commendations should be taken as guidelines for the designer.
7. All loosesoils/debris/human waste/chemical waste material should be removed and the exposed foundation bearing surface
should be watered and compacted properly using rammers/rollers.
