ADDENDUM SITE INVESTIGATION REPORT
FOR THE PROPOSED ALTERATIONS & ADDITION AT
116 MCILWRAITH STREET
PRINCES HILL
FOR TONY PEDA & ASSOCIATES PTY LTD
FILE NO: 15H22106-1
DATE: 18 OCTOBER 2013
This addendum report should be read in conjunction with Apex Soil Testing
Australia’s original report dated 25 August 2015, file number 15H22106.
Itis understood that the proposed structure may be supported on bored piles, which
are likely to be embedded at least 500mm into the extremely weathered siltstone. An
undrained shear strength value for the extremely weathered siltstone is required.
DISCUSSIONS
Bored piers or piles must penetrate through any fill material, the natural clayey silt
and silty clay and be embedded at least 100mm into extremely weathered siltstone. A
maximum allowable bearing pressure of 350kPa is available beneath bored piles. An
undrained shear strength value of 150kPa may be adopted for the extremely
weathered siltstone.
Based on the borehole results of the initial site investigation undertaken on 19 August.
2015, the following founding depths are applicable:
Bore Hole No. Founding Depth ‘Founding Material
1 2000 mm, Silty CLAY
2 2000 mm, Silty CLAY
3 2000 mm, ilty CLAY.
The founding depths presented above are relative to the surface level at the time of the
field investigation.
In the absence of piling data in the site geological formation, an approximate skin
friction value 35kPa may be adopied for bored piles embedded into the extremely
weathered siltstone, For accurate design skin friction values advice from a piling
contractor should be sought.
