Dear Sir,
Before the structural work commence it is important that a soil study is
undertaking as to determine the condition of the soil. This will allow us to design the
right foundation for the building and in turn it would save money. What we will
require is geotechnical investigation of the soil which will be carried out by
experienced geotechnical engineer and his team. The results of the investigation
should be based on tests carried out in specialized laboratory on soil examples from
at least four bore holes took from the site, as showed in the attached drawing.
The tests should at least include the following:
1. Weight density of the each soil layer (if any),
2. Angle of shearing resistance,
3. Max. level of the underground water,
4. Corrosive hazard due to salt in the water,
5. Calculation of the bearing capacity of the soil in foundation depth for type of
foundation used in design,
6. Calculation of the foundation settlement.
After all tests are done, the results should be presented in technical report,
together with geological profile of the terrain drawing with type and thickness of
each soil layer (if any), level of underground water, place of bore holes. Also, in the
report should be attached all diagrams and data which are the result of the tests.
In the attachment you will find a CAD drawing in PDF format showing the
positions of where the bore holes should be taken. We recommend no less than four
bore holes are taken for this size of a site, at each corner of the site as to try and get
as much diverse data as possible. We recommend a depth of 15 meters to get a
clear data and good understanding of the soil condition.
