4. Geotechnical Scope of Services

4.1 Objectives of the Investigations

Based on the information available for the geotechnical studies, the primary objective of this service
is to provide geotechnical investigations and reporting through the identification of any site-specific
geotechnical data required to develop ground improvement, geohazards, drainage and retaining
structures, earthwork, and any other geotechnical parameters related to the future design of
ancillary structure foundations. If it will be requested by the Designer the Consultant shall develop
all pertinent geotechnical parameters by appropriate field and laboratory investigations, testing and
analyses.
In principle the objectives of this campaign are about:
1. Studying the identified hazards whether below or on the ground,
2. Obtaining representative data on the engineering properties and characteristics of the founding
terrain,
3. Obtaining representative data on the physical soil properties for assessment of slope stability,
earthworks, excavation support, pavement subgrade, ground improvement,
4. Identification of concrete exposure class,
5. Assessing site seismic class,
6. Identification of groundwater conditions,
7. Identification of further studies to be conducted during the detailed design phase

4.2 Scope of Services

The scope of service is to produce a sufficiently detailed Factual Geotechnical report for the required
level of design (Stage 3B & 3C), containing field exploration and laboratory testing results (tests
and assessments as are necessary for physical, mechanical, and hydrological properties of soil
layers at the project site).
Information in the report shall include but is not limited to, prevailing geological conditions (e.g.
surface and subsurface), location of exploration points, identification of groundwater levels,
geotechnical cross-sections across the site, and description of the subsurface conditions on-site.
All geotechnical laboratory and field works shall be based on standards outlined in approved
normative and Employer Engineering Procedure for Geotechnical Investigations (NEOM-EN-PRC-
001) and Geotechnical specification (NEOM-NPR-SPC-GSS-001).

4.3 Geotechnical Assessment

For foundation design, ground improvement works, earthworks, and other geotechnical and
construction-related activities, the following properties and behavior of soil - rock shall be
assessed:

• Physical Properties

• Mechanical Properties and Soil – Rock Capacity

• Hydrological Properties

• Chemical Properties of Soil – Rock

• Mechanical behaviour of the mass when loaded

Laboratory and field methods that are appropriate for determining the physical properties of
subsurface material shall be conducted with the consideration of volumetric properties (moisture
content, specific gravity, unit weight), compaction properties (proctor and CBR), gradation
properties (mechanical sieve analysis and hydrometer analysis), plasticity properties (Atterberg
limits), mechanical properties (SPT, Unconfined Compression Strength, Direct Shear, point load,
triaxial, etc.), deformability properties (Uniaxial consolidation in Oedometer, swelling pressure) and
permeability properties of soil - rock samples.
Laboratory tests shall be conducted to identify the project site exposure class based on the
sulphate/chloride content and PH of soil/water that should be considered for the selection of
minimum compressive and tensile strength of Portland Cement Concrete for the drainage and
retaining structures at the project site, and the choice of subsurface concrete protection
requirements.
The expected field and laboratory work to be carried out are the following:

Description of All Geotechnical Investigation Works to be carried out Phase 1 and Phase 2:

PHASE 1
• 94 nos. boreholes to be drilled to depths of 30 - 40 meters (Blue colored boreholes). Figure 4
and Error! Reference source not found. Boreholes who have near trial pits CBR testing will be
executed both to the pit and down the hole.
• 4 nos. Geophysical MASW lines. The geophysical line results must cover a 50m depth. Figure
5 and Table 4
• ERT and TRT lines testing in the boreholes crossed by the proposed ERT lines.
• 8 nos. of Piezometers if water is encountering Error! Reference source not found..
• 30 nos. Trial pits up to the 3m depth Error! Reference source not found.. Load plate tests to be
executed in the trial pits
• 18 nos. PS Logging Down the holes Geophysical testing in selected positions as per Table 2.

Note: The coordinates of the geotechnical campaign Exploratory points will be adjusted according
to project changes if needed.

Phase 1 is consisted of 2 stages of works Priority A and Priority B. All works of Priority A will be
executed with immediate effect. Before Priority A completion the Consultant will report to the
Designer and Employer about the uniformity of the ground conditions obtained till that time. The
assessment will be based on the geology of the area and the data recorded regarding faults, big
cavities, extended shear zones and weathering factor severeness. Geophysical data will assist to
the Priority A data interpretation. If this will be regarded as satisfactory then Priority B works, and
Phase 2 works are automatically deleted and descoped. The GI Consultant will proceed
immediately with the data of Priority A for laboratory and final reporting (Factual report 1).

If the ground conditions indicate cast doubts on uniformity conditions the GI Consultant will proceed
with the priority B works.
All Phase 1 data will be delivered to the Designer who will decide if the works or part of the works
of Phase 2 are needed for his Design basis and risk assessment. Any part of the Phase 2 works
will be evaluated and in case will not be needed will be descoped from the Contract.

PHASE 2
• 92 nos. boreholes to be drilled to depths of 30 - 40 meters (Green colored boreholes).
• Tentative locations of the areas to be investigated are listed below in Table 2.

Note: The coordinates of the Exploratory points related with this campaign will be adjusted
according to project changes if needed.

suitable for transporting materials and equipment.

4.6 Setting Out

The Consultant is to provide Employer specifications and valid certificates of calibration for all
required equipment to be used before the commencement of the survey works.

A preliminary site visit to the site will be performed by the Consultant to validate the location of all
expected site activities. The proposed boreholes, test pits, and geophysical lines’ positions may
undergo relocations, based on the findings, so as to improve the site investigation effectiveness,
however, any change shall be submitted for the Employer’s revision and approval prior to starting
the activities.

The Consultant shall be responsible for setting up any permanent or temporary survey station
required to accurately set out the Works. The Consultant shall employ the services of an
experienced surveying specialist for this purpose if necessary.

The Consultant shall at the commencement of the Works check the consistency of existing survey
stations and report any discrepancies to the Employer. The Consultant shall then set up and protect
an adequate number of fixed survey stations. Each of these survey stations shall be visible from at
least two other stations and shall be referenced in such a way that they can be re-established if
disturbed. Location sketches and adjusted coordinates and levels will be supplied by the Consultant
for all Survey Stations.

The Consultant shall ensure that the actual positions are within 0.50 m of that specified and that all
exploratory holes are accurately surveyed. The coordinates shall also be recorded to within 0.50
m, referred to as the specified survey grid.

30 | P a g e
 Internal

The Consultant shall give Employer reasonable notice of any intention to set out or take levels for
any part of the work so that arrangements may be made for checking the work. The checking of
setting out or levelling by the Employer shall not relieve the Consultant of any duties or
responsibilities under the Contract. The Consultant shall be responsible for Setting Out works in
their entirety.

The Consultant shall be responsible for temporary drainage, security fencing, temporary roads, all
other necessary works, maintaining, clearing away, and reinstating the area when no longer
required.

The Consultant shall note that no temporary labor camps will be permitted at the site unless
otherwise specifically advised in advance and in writing, by the Employer.

The Consultant shall arrange for all water, electricity, and telecommunications services for the
performance of the Contract including the provision of any cables, pipes, valves, meters, storage
tanks, etc. The Consultant shall be responsible for obtaining all permissions and consents from the
relevant supply or service authorities for the use of their respective supplies or services.

In case that excavation works will take place before the Geotechnical works commence then all
drilling positions coordinates will not be modified but the drilling length will be adjusted to the in –
situ conditions.
4.7 Fieldwork
The fieldwork shall be performed based on Employer procedure “NEOM-NEN-PRC-001 Rev A” and
any previously accepted standard. The fieldwork may include borehole drilling, test pit excavation,
soil sampling and other in situ testing.
4.7.1 Boreholes
All boring/drilling in soils shall be carried out by a method which minimizes the disturbances to the
soil to be sampled or tested below the base of the borehole.

Boreholes shall be drilled using a rotary drilling machine facilitated with disturbed and undisturbed
soil sampling tools for laboratory testing required to assess and analyze the ground improvement
of loose soil, embankments and excavation analysis, major retaining (height more than 2m) and
drainage structure, in addition to foundation design.

The use of cable percussions rigs (in soft/medium soils), as well as other types of drilling rigs (i.e.,
rotary percussion rigs), must be duly justified in advance by the Consultant (including a Method
Statement of the drilling procedure and equipment used), for revision and approval of the Employer.

The drilling Consultant should have adequate experience dealing with Flowing Artesian if
encountered at the site. The Consultant’s driller must have competency in stopping or controlling
artesian flow and have the equipment required to deal with Flowing Artesian conditions. Controlling
artesian flow means that the entire flow:

• Must be conveyed through the borehole’s casing,

• Can be stopped indefinitely without leakage outside of the casing, and
• Must not pose a threat to property, public safety or the environment.

It is important for the Consultant to understand that neither the presence nor the absence of Flowing
Artesian conditions can be known with certainty prior to drilling. Therefore, it should always be
assumed that Flowing Artesian conditions will be present and assume a precautionary approach
(e.g., installing and sealing a surface casing of sufficient length). The Consultant shall be prepared
with the materials, expertise, and equipment needed to construct the boreholes to control or stop
any artesian flow.

 Internal

Borehole Spacing or Intervals

A minimum number of points of investigation per site are included in this SOS, and
Recommendations on “Employer procedure for geotechnical investigations” shall be followed,
unless otherwise indicated by the Employer.
The number of boreholes and their depth of investigation can vary after preliminary site supervision,
during drilling activities, and/or previous approval from the Employer.
Depths of boreholes can be updated during drilling, and length should be increased to reach dense
soil where the thickness of loose material may be high. If rock is encountered, continuous coring
shall be carried out.
The depth of investigation shall investigate the materials affected by the pressure bulb of the
expected foundations, considering also excavations and cuts. Recommendations included in
“Employer procedure for geotechnical investigations” shall be followed unless otherwise indicated
by the Employer.
In some cases, depending on the characteristics of the structure to be built, when competent
material is found (and only after the Employer approval), the borehole could be finished before
reaching the expected depth.

Consideration of “competent material” is as follows:

• in soil: when five consecutive SPT tests have a “refusal” result (more than 50 blows in 15
cm)
• In rock: when the borehole detects a minimum of 8.0 m of good quality rock, defined as
rock mass with an RQD value of more than 90% for core runs of 1.0 m and a core recovery
of less than 95%.
The Consultant's position of boreholes shall be determined and submitted to the Employer for
approval prior to starting the drilling. Locations of investigation points should be determined after
reconnaissance and a visit to the area.

Borehole Size and Drilling

All borings shall be done using a drilling machine with a minimum inner diameter of 100mm. If steel
casing is used due to stability problems or for deep boreholes (>100 m), the initial diameter of the
borehole must be adequate so the minimum diameter of the borehole at the bottom will not be
inferior to 75 mm.

All boring/drilling procedures must be clearly defined before the commencement of works in a
Method Statement for revision and approval of the Employer.

In rocky materials, core drilling shall generally be carried out with diamond or tungsten carbide-
tipped bits which shall be suitable for the percentage core recovery and diameter required. Drilling
shall be required within the weathered zones of strata, and the strata may be friable, soft, contain
softer lenses within the solid rock, or be other than solid continuous strata. The Consultant shall
bring to the site suitable well-maintained equipment for drilling to produce cores in such strata to
meet the recovery requirement. The equipment shall include double-tube core barrels (for the most
usual conditions) and triple-tube core barrels with transparent plastic liners (for situations with poor
core recovery). Wireline equipment is accepted when included in the Method Statement.

Rotary core drilling shall produce circular rock cores of a minimum of 75 mm; when using wire-line
systems, the minimum diameter accepted will be HQ.

The type and state of the drill bit, feed rates and management of the drill shall be such that where
the material condition permits (fresh rock with low fracture density), core recovery less than 90% in
any drill run will not usually be acceptable for the Employer. In any other cases (with
weathered/fractured rocks), the minimum acceptable recovery will be at least 95% in any single run
unless the Employer is satisfied that more than 95% recovery is impracticable under the prevailing
conditions,

32 | P a g e
 Internal

Where fractured rock or weak strata are encountered, the Consultant shall adopt such measures
as necessary to obtain cores, including (but not limited to) the use of mud or polymer flush, or triple
core barrel, as required. In very dense or weakly cemented sands, the Employer may instruct coring;
in such cases,>70% core recovery is expected. An alternative drilling method and diameter may be
acceptable if the Consultant fulfils the above requirements, and the procedure is defined in a Method
Statement. However, the diameter of the recovered core less than 75 mm (or HQ in wireline) is
unacceptable.

Drill runs shall not usually exceed 1.5 m in length unless 100% recovery is obtained, and the core
barrel shall be removed from the drill holes as often as required to get the best possible core
recovery. When recovery is less than 90% for an entire drill run, the next drill run shall be reduced
by 50% or a minimum of 0.5m.

Under the instruction of the Employer, measurements of the drilling parameters, including
penetration rate, torque, feed force, fluid pressure etc., per drill run shall be made and recorded on
the driller’s logs.

The Consultant shall select the drilling fluid (and indicated in the Method Statement) to ensure that
the objectives of the Investigation are met whilst also ensuring that contamination of samples,
groundwater and seawater does not occur. The drilling fluid shall be capable of supporting the walls
of the borehole and shall be suitable for use with specified in situ testing (i.e., down-hole testing,
Televiewer). The drilling fluid shall not affect future measurements of groundwater levels or
permeability tests. For this reason, bentonite is forbidden in areas where groundwater levels are
expected to be detected or where permeability tests are required. The Consultant shall propose
other materials (polymers) or drilling techniques (steel casing) in these cases.

After completion of the boreholes, they shall be backfilled according to the procedure accepted in
the Method Statement unless a piezometer or standpipe is installed.

Removal, Examination and Preservation of Core

Core barrels shall be held horizontally, so rock cores can be extracted carefully from the barrel
using appropriate tools which don’t cause further fractures in the material. Core shall be placed in
a core box such that the cores are retained in position. The core depth (drill run) shall be marked
on the core box with an indelible marker.

After that, the cores shall be examined and logged on-site by a suitably experienced
Geologist/Engineering Geologist provided by the Consultant (and approved by the Employer) and
total core recovery (TCR), solid core recovery (SCR), and rock quality designation (RQD)
measurements shall be made and recorded, in accordance with the Employer Procedure for
geotechnical investigations or other approved standards.

Following examination, core boxes shall be photographed (in colour), with an informative board that
represents the site, borehole number, drilling date, boring depth, location, etc.

Core boxes shall be soundly constructed of timber or other approved material, fitted with stout
carrying handles, fastenings, and hinged lids. The total weight of cores and box shall together not
exceed 60kg. Cores shall be placed in the box with the shallowest cores to the top left-hand corner,
the top being labelled such that the origin of the core can be readily identified. Core boxes shall be
stored secured from interference and protected from the weather in a temporary store on site.

Core boxes will be transported to an approved storage area or laboratory, where core samples can
be taken for laboratory testing purposes. This storage area shall be sufficient in size for examination
and storage of cores during the investigation. The store shall be secure and shall provide protection
from extremes of weather, with temperatures maintained between 5 and 30 degrees Celsius. The
Consultant shall maintain the store for the duration indicated below.

33 | P a g e
 Internal

During the period where any rock core has been removed from its core box for testing, a suitable
wooden or PVC marker should be temporarily placed in the core’s place. Information pertaining to
the missing core should be written on the marker and the marker should remain in place until the
core is returned from testing or permanently, if the core has been used in a destructive test (i.e.,
UCS).

Core boxes and other samples retrieved in the boreholes shall be stored in an approved area for at
least 12 months after approval of the final interpretative report. After this period, the Consultant shall
inform the Employer by written notice and proceed to deliver the core boxes to the Employer or
dispose of them, according to the Employer’s’ instruction.

Soil Sampling from Boreholes

All sampling procedures must follow “Employer procedure for geotechnical investigation” or other
previously accepted standards and shall be detailed in the Method Statement.

Depending on the rig type used in the geotechnical investigation, the sampling procedure must
comply with the following minimum requirements.

• For rotary rigs:

Undisturbed soil samples shall be obtained by a thin wall tube where cohesive soils are
encountered. The undisturbed soil sampling shall be performed based on the soil property change
method, with at least one sample alternating with SPT tests every meter.

Disturbed soil samples shall be obtained from the boring based on material change property aspects
but with at least one sample every 5.0m bgl and every 1.5m after that. Disturbed, representative
examples of soil are satisfactory for specific laboratory tests, including classification, water content
determination, index properties, gradation, specific gravity, etc.

The sample shall have enough weight or size for performing of soil physical and mechanical
properties as required for the design. All soil samples shall be properly transferred to the laboratory
for required testing.

Undisturbed samples in cohesive soils shall be taken using open drive sampling equipment or push
in “Shelby tubes” according to accepted standards, except where an alternative method of pushing
or driving the sampling tubes is approved by the Employer. The alternative method shall be such
that the sampling tube is driven smoothly into the ground without deviating from a straight line. The
open drive sampling tubes shall have a minimum internal diameter of 75 mm and a length of 450mm
or as specified by the Employer. The cutting shoes shall be clean, sharp and without burred edges.
The number of blows, weight of drop hammer, height of drop and length driven shall be recorded
when percussion boring is used. Shelby tubes shall be clean, straight and with sharp cutting edges.

All soil samples shall be sealed to preserve their natural moisture content, stored in a cold box and
shall be protected from extremes of weather, with the temperature of the cold box to be maintained
between 5 and 25 degrees Celsius.

Samples shall be transported to the laboratory for testing at the end of each day unless agreed with
the Employer that they will be held in an appropriate temporary store. Special precautions shall be
taken when transporting undisturbed samples to the laboratory or permanent storage to avoid
sample disturbance.

All soil samples shall be stored under controlled temperatures under shade, to prevent loss of
moisture content or disintegration of the sample.

34 | P a g e
 Internal

Rock core sample core boxes shall be stored in the shade (not be exposed to direct sunlight) on-
site and transported to the Consultant’s site office or laboratory the very same day after the
completion of the day’s work, where they shall be stored under controlled conditions.

Standard Penetration Test (SPT)

The Consultant shall perform SPT testing in compliance with the Employer procedures. SPT testing
shall be done in every borehole at 1.0m intervals of soil depth up to 10m, and at 1.5m intervals of
soil depth beyond 10m and at every identifiable change of soil stratum. In case cohesive soil is
encountered, undisturbed soil samples shall be extracted, as set out in the previous section.

The test shall be conducted after driving the casing to the bottom of the borehole and after cleaning
it with drill bits and other tools, to ensure the stability of the tested soil at the targeted depth.

In the case of rock material, continuous coring shall be performed.

The N-values as observed shall be reported in the borehole logs without any correction for the
overburden or water table. The disturbed samples shall be taken from the SPT tube and sealed in
air-tight containers, labelled with the following details:
• Borehole ID
• Dates of test performed in the borehole
• Location of borehole
• Depth of SPT test
• Number of SPT blows

Immediately after completion of the SPT, the open split spoon should be photographed with a digital
camera capable of saving metadata. The Consultant should ensure the following criteria are fulfilled:
• a clearly legible label identifying the project title, exploratory hole number, date and time,
and depth range of the sample shall be included in each photograph.
• both the open split spoon and shoe (placed vertically to show the material within) should
be included in the photo.
• the features being photographed shall reasonably fill the frame to show the details clearly.
• at least 5 million pixels in resolution.
• in JPG format.

A photograph of each separate sample shall be included with the factual report. In addition, a digital
copy of each photograph shall be submitted with the report. The digital photograph shall contain the
following Metadata:
• GPS location
• Time and Date when image was taken.

Installation of pipes and piezometers

Standpipes and permanent piezometers for monitoring changes in groundwater levels shall be
installed in selected exploratory holes, as mentioned in this SOS Error! Reference source not
found.. They shall be designated in form and detail, and appropriate dimensions and depths shall
be recorded at the time of installation.

The Consultant to produce the installation detail upon review of the relevant driller’s logs. The
Consultant is to reproduce installation detail prior to the construction of the monitoring well.

The Consultant shall install piezometers or standpipes as indicated in a Method Statement. This
document shall be submitted by the Consultant in advance of the drilling works and approved by
the Employer.

Measurement of Groundwater Level

35 | P a g e
 Internal

When groundwater is encountered in exploratory holes, the depth from the ground level of the point
of entry shall be recorded together with the depth of any casing. Exploratory hole operations shall
be stopped and the depth from ground level to water level recorded with an approved instrument at
5-minute intervals for a period of 20 minutes. If at the end of the period of 20 minutes the water level
is still rising, this shall be recorded together with the depth to the water below ground level, unless
otherwise instructed by the Employer. The exploratory hole shall then be continued. If the casing is
used and this forms a seal against the entry of groundwater, the Consultant shall record the depth
of casing at which no further entry or only insignificant infiltration of water occurs.

Water levels shall be recorded as required by the Contract and at the beginning and end of each
shift. On each occasion when groundwater levels are recorded, the depth of the exploratory hole,
the depth of any casing and the time shall also be recorded. Where artesian conditions are
encountered, the Consultant shall immediately inform the Employer and agree on a method for
dealing with the conditions.

Other in – situ testing.

For the determination and assessment of hydraulic, environmental and mechanical properties of
soil, in some cases, permeability tests are required to be performed on soils or rock masses.

Prior to the commencement of these tests, the Consultant shall submit a Method Statement with
the procedure to be followed during the tests. Permeability tests cannot start until the Employer has
approved this Method Statement.

In-situ constant or falling permeability tests shall be performed in soils in accordance with NEOM
procedures and approved standards at selected locations. Material thickness to be tested shall be
indicated in the MS.

Packer Testing is to be conducted in rock masses as per NEOM procedures and approved
standards. Usually, the thickness of materials tested is 5 m, but it could be modified (as indicated
in the MS), due to site geology restrictions. In any case, the tests shall be performed on a
representative area, to obtain reasonable results.

When several tests shall be performed, they shall be conducted in different lithologies, for the
assessment of the hydrology of the site. Therefore, depending on the lithology will be recorded from
the drilling of the first 10 boreholes it will be determined the exact position of the 10 Exploratory
points will be conducted down the holes permeability tests.

Permeability draft results shall be submitted to the Employer on a weekly basis.

Borehole Logs
Standard log forms shall be filled based on the field sampling, exploration and observations. The
log’s material shall be visually described based on Employer procedures and approved standards.
A borehole log template will be included in the Method Statement.

4.7.2 Geotechnical Surveys

In some cases, the geometric distribution of the subsoil cannot be addressed with traditional
methods such as boreholes or trial pits, since they provide only local and punctual information. In
these cases, the use of geophysical surveys will be recommendable to spatially extend all local
information obtained from the boreholes and laboratory tests to find anomalies, discontinuities and
cavities.

The type of survey to be used depends on the soil parameter to be obtained and the purpose of the
survey. Below there is a list of the most common types of geophysical surveys carried out in
geotechnical investigations, which can be performed directly over the ground surface or inside a
borehole:

36 | P a g e
 Internal

Over the ground surface:

• ERT
• ER tomography
• Seismic refraction
• Seismic reflection
• REMI, CSW
• Electromagnetic (GPR-radar)
• MASW

The Consultant is required to undertake MASW, ERT and ER Tomography survey lines across the
site as shown in the ground investigation plan drawing Figure 4. The results should indicate
variation in shear wave velocity to a depth of 50m below ground level and be presented in a clear
graphical output showing profiles in both vertical and horizontal format. Reference ISRM (2007).
The data shall be processed to produce separate long sections along each line for each geophysical
method. These shall be in color and show the variation of response both laterally and vertically. The
chainage shall be shown clearly along the ‘x-axis, the depth shown on the ‘y’ axis and a legend
color-coded to show the range corresponding to each color. An interpretative report shall be
produced that shall identify the sequence of geological strata, identify areas of anomaly, and
suggest further works to establish the nature and extent of the anomaly.
Inside a borehole:
• Downhole
• Cross-hole (requires two boreholes)
• Televiewer
• Electrical resistivity
• Gamma natural
• PS suspension Logging
Any preliminary work required to perform the survey (except the activity of drilling the borehole,
whenever the geophysical tests in done inside) will be responsibility of the Consultant, so no
additional cost will be invoiced to the Employer.

Prior to site mobilization, the Consultant is responsible of evaluate all possible issues that can affect
to the survey (for example, traffic that can affect the seismic refraction surveys) and propose
solutions or alternatives to the Employer, for revision and approval.

After the surveys, the site shall be restored to a condition similar to before site works. Special
precautions shall be taken when performing tests inside a borehole to avoid damage or loss of
equipment. In case of this situation, the Consultant shall recover the equipment at his own cost.

Before starting any geophysical survey, the Consultant shall submit a Method Statement indicating
as a minimum:
• The method/s to be used, equipment and staff involved.
• The procedure to do the survey and how the data is going to be acquired.
• The parameters obtained by direct measurement and the ones obtained by correlation
(indirect).
• How the results are going to be presented.

The geophysical survey is not to start until this method statement is reviewed and approved by the
Employer.

During the site survey, the Consultant shall submit to the Employer, on a weekly basis, draft results
of the surveys, in the form of interpreted 1D or 2D scaled sections/profiles in color, with a clear
distribution of the ranges measured against the depth investigated. In case that the interpretation
shows important differences with other site works (like boreholes), the Employer may ask for
additional information, like the raw data obtained directly from the equipment (before interpretation).

37 | P a g e
 Internal

This SOS makes reference to some of the geophysical surveys listed above, according to an initial
estimation of materials present on site and the requirements of the geotechnical study. However,
the Consultant can propose other geophysical surveys based on partial results obtained from site
investigation, for Employer technical and economical revision and, if considered necessary,
approval.

4.7.3 Site Photographs

Required photos shall be taken from the site during drilling/excavating of boreholes/test pits and
soil sampling. The photos shall be taken in a manner that each photo will represent the required
information regarding boring/test pit locations, boring/test pit number, soil sampling and their date,
sample depth, soil type and soil strata’s physical view in the test pits. Each photo will have an
informative label in the lower-left corner that represents the above-mentioned information. The site
photo log will be part of the geotechnical investigation report.
Photos shall be taken to provide consistent lighting conditions without areas of light contrast (e.g.,
part shade).

SPT spoon photographs to be taken and submitted within 48 hours of drilling with the draft borehole
logs

4.8 Laboratory Tests

Laboratory tests shall be performed based on approved standards. The laboratory work includes
tests that are necessary for the determination of physical, mechanical, and hydrological properties.
An estimated number of tests is included for pricing purposes. The Consultant shall allow for a 10%
contingency on testing costs. The Consultant is to issue a schedule of testing rates.

Prior to the commencement of the laboratory tests, a table with the available samples (indicating
their identification and origin) and requested laboratory works shall be submitted to the Employer,
in an excel spreadsheet format. This table shall be updated and sent to the Employer, on a weekly
basis, indicating new samples retrieved during the week period, as well as the state of the requested
tests (finished, cancelled, in progress, not started, etc.).

Tests for Physical Properties

The following tests shall be performed in the laboratory for the determination of physical properties
of soil:
• Moisture Content
• Mechanical Sieve Analysis
• Atterberg Limits
• Hydrometer Analysis
• Dry and bulk density
• Modified Proctor Compaction

Tests for Mechanical Properties

The tests required for the determination of the physical properties of soil shall be conducted on
selected samples collected from the test pits and boreholes and identified by the Geotechnical
Engineer. The hydrometer test will be performed on the samples that were obtained from natural
strata, especially on fine-grain soil and its frequency will be based on the project site’s geological
conditions.

The following tests are recommended for the determination of the mechanical properties of soil:
• Shear Strength – Direct Shear Test
• Elastic Modulus
• Unconfined Compressive Strength
• Point Load Index (rock)
• Uniaxial Consolidation of soils – when required

38 | P a g e
 Internal

• Triaxial tests – when required

• Swelling pressure on soils – when required
• Other tests listed in bill of quantities
.
The direct shear and unconfined compressive strength tests shall be performed for the mechanical
properties assessment for foundation soil. A required number of tests will be performed that satisfy
the design requirements and design needs.

Uniaxial consolidation tests and Swelling pressure tests shall be performed whenever cohesive
soils are detected, specifically when soft soils or soils with high plasticity index are detected.

The point load index, unconfined compressive strength, bulk density, and any other required test
will be performed for rock coring samples to identify their mechanical properties. A required number
of tests will be performed that satisfy the design requirements and design needs. Testing shall be
conducted on selected samples to be identified by the Geotechnical Engineer.

Tests for Chemical Properties

The following tests are required for the determination of chemical properties of soil and water if
encountered in the test pits or boreholes:
• Sulphate Content
• Chloride Content
• Calcium Carbonate Content
• pH
• Organic Content

The above-mentioned tests shall be performed in the same frequency of field density to classify the
project site based on the exposure of severity.

Note: The Consultant is required to conduct (based on the encountered subsurface material) other
tests that are not mentioned above for the provision of geotechnical aspects and properties of sub-
surface strata. These tests are mainly dependent on encountered subsurface materials. In all cases,
a program of laboratory tests should be prepared based on the encountered subsurface material
and submitted for approval of the Geotechnical Engineer and amended according to the material
encountered.

5. Geotechnical Plan
The Consultant is required to conduct a geotechnical reconnaissance survey before starting the actual
geotechnical work to determine site conditions including potential geohazards.

Furthermore, the site visit is carried out to identify the location of boreholes and test pits. The Consultant
is required to prepare a geotechnical plan that consists of boring/pitting coordinates, location, depth,
spacing and the required number of tests for each borehole and test pit. The Consultant shall submit
the plan to the Employer for approval. After approval, the Consultant is required to stake out the defined
location with help of the total station machine and start working as per the given time schedule.

shall be previously approved by the Employer.

16. Baseline Schedule and General Requirements

The Consultant shall provide all necessary staff and equipment to deliver all required activities within
this proposed timeframe period. This assumption is based on the initial mobilization of 8 No. Drilling
Rigs. The number of rigs to achieve the proposed performance will be adjusted to the in – situ
conditions.

However, based on availability, the overall duration may decrease with additional rigs being made
available in the region to increase productivity and accelerating the schedule. The Employer
expects the site works to conclude as soon as possible.

The specifications of the proposed geotechnical investigations along with associated in-situ and
laboratory testing are presented in this SOS, with minimum requirements.

The Consultant may propose alternative international standards, obtaining written approval from
Employer or such departures. Any work not in compliance with approved standards shall be
repeated at the Consultant expense in each instance. A compressed schedule where possible and
an aggressive approach to the durations is to be considered.

The field exploration points shall be confirmed by the Consultant in coordination with the Employer’s
Representative after Contract Award. The Consultant shall maintain copies of all relevant
standards, on site, digitally, for the duration of the works.
