WORK PROCEDURE OF SITE INVESTIGATION

Essential Information contained In Site Investigation: Evidence involving design as compression shear strength of the soil and others. Description regarding the condition of the earth's water, including the level and change in level with the seasons, ground water pressure, permeability and other soil. Description of the construction site and environmental suitability of the proposed construction. Description of the impact of the changes in the specifications or in identifying changes that may occur either naturally or impact from construction. Initial impression of the suitability of the selected site or other suitable alternative

PRELIMINARY AND SITE EXPLORATION

PURPOSE OF PRELIMINARY AND SITE EXPLORATION To test substance found (on site or taken to the laboratory).

Analyzing the results.

Captures data accumulating.

Make an assessment of the proposed construction site.

SURFACE

UNDERGROUND

PRELIMINARY AND SITE EXPLORATION

The information to be obtained during preliminary and site exploration on surface.


related to local geological conditions for site investigation. can be obtained from the Department of Minerals & Geoscience Malaysia.

GEOLOGICAL MAP

Used to find out basic information such as location of the river, lakes, swampy areas, residential areas, road cemetery, agriculture and so TOPO MAP on. can be obtained from the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (JUPEM) in either scale 1: 10 000, 1: 25 000 and 1: 50 000.

AERIAL PICTURES

The information can not be obtained from topo map .


Large area of the project such as the construction of highways and dams to know phenomena such as the effects of landslides, the effects of seasonal streams.

need to get the current mining records, past and future.


Mining Records.

Moisture plays an important role in the problem of land by the data climatic change can be extremely important discovery.
Meteorological can be obtained from the Meteorological Department of records.

Malaysia.

The work involves the beach, the sea, rivers and lakes must be the tidal information to enable planning work smoothly.
Tidal levels

can be obtained from the Marine Department of Malaysia.

Construction area plan past

it shows the existing buildings and surrounding soil conditions / earthworks carried out.

Main facilities

Mains facilities available in the site investigation as electrical cable, phone, water pipes, gas must be known so that damage to the channel can be avoided as well as avoid unwanted tragedy. can be obtained from the travel agent concerned and the Local Council.

History of site use

Information about damage, failure of existing buildings or previously associated with an underlying condition.

UNDERGROUND INVESTIGATION

Among the goals why the initial site investigation was carried out to: -

Number of testing for the rough surface strata must be sufficient so that a more detailed site investigation can be planned.

General information about the state of the surface layer of the soil profile at site.

Roughly identify strata and drilling can be identified.

PROGRAMME PLANNING AND SCOPE OF SITE INVESTIGATION

PROGRAMME PLANNING
select the appropriate method based on the relevant standards - the number and types of tests, sample type, sample quality, site conditions.
estimating the cost and time required.
determine the amount, depth, distance and location of the tests. determine the number of samples at a particular depth

level of accuracy required.


determine the scope of work in the laboratory

any observations or warning

Scope of site investigation costs may vary depending on the : project size. the depth of investigation of the earth's surface. soil conditions whether complex or not. the amount of information available for a particular area.

Soil investigation, sampling and lab testing.

Process detailed investigation of the geology and soil conditions below the surface by surface survey of a trial pit ', borehole and others. Also survey of ground water, inspection of the damage to the building nearby (e.g. ; sediment) structure and process of sampling locations.

DISTURBED SAMPLE

UNDISTURBED SAMPLE

Land taken regardless of the actual condition of the land at site.

The land taken by the most minimal state interference in order to maintain the actual condition of the site

For the purpose of soil classification and soil density.

Used for the shear test, permeability test and consolidation test.

Testing of disturbed and undisturbed samples

Testing on the ground: Classification, quality, permeability, shear strength, compressibility.

Testing on the rocks: Strength & endurance.


Testing on site: CBR.

Groundwater testing: Chemistry permeability,

Preparation the report for site investigation

SI reports or 'Soil Investigation Report' is a report of investigation aimed at obtaining information site geotechnical engineering project site so as to be used by clients and consultants in designing the foundation. The information obtained can also be used: - for the purposes of the budget - make the right decisions in the overall level of design, construction and maintenance by the customer.

Design and review during construction and monitoring.

include study design through data collection or monitoring visits to sites and meetings with project supervisors and project engineers either on site or at the office site.

through these meetings, monitoring of ground rules will be identified and kept in the land records in the office of the site will be available

The following information will also be available: 1. compression method 2. the tests carried out on site 3. that is due to be carried out tests on materials reclaimed 4. construction methods 5. road design
