7.3 Compaction
If approved granular fill is used to build up the site, the material must be compacted using suitable compaction
equipmenttoachieveadrydensityratio(DDR)ofatleast95%MMDD(maximummodifieddrydensity)asdetermined
inaccordancewithAS12895.2.1.

750mm900mm:6(or750mm1050mm:12)
Note:UseofthePSPisnotappropriateforgravellysoilsandwherethefinescontentofthesandexceedsabout5%.
In such cases, density testing must be done using a nuclear density gauge in accordance with AS1289.5.8.12007.
Clayey soils must be compacted to a target dry density ratio of 95% SMDD (standard maximum dry density,
AS1289.5.1.1).
Overexcavation and replacement of loose materials must be carried out where the minimum density cannot be
achieved.
Fillmustbeplacedinhorizontallayersofnotgreaterthan0.3mloosethickness.Eachlayermustbecompactedby
suitablecompactionequipment,andcarefullycontrolledtoensureevencompactionoverthefullareaanddepthof
eachlayer.

7.4 ApprovedFill
Imported granular fill must comply with the material requirements as stated in AS37982007, Guidelines on
EarthworksforCommercialandResidentialDevelopments.Sandfillmustcomprisecleansandthatisfreeoforganic

siltysandsoilsatthetopofthesoilprofile(generallypresentfromsurfacetodepthsofbetween0.5mto1.9m)are
suitable for conventional effluent disposal systems. However, conventional effluent disposal is not recommended
within deeper soils due to the clayey nature of the soil. Additionally, conventional effluent disposal is not
recommendedinareasofshallowlaterite,generallylocatedtowardsthesouthwesternendofthesite.Intheseareas

WeunderstandthataPRIof20ormoreindicatesasoilhasacapacitytoadsorbphosphorousfromsewageeffluent.
The overall capacity is, however, dependant on the permeability and thickness of the strata through which the
effluentflows.
7.7 StormwaterDisposal
TheresultsofthepermeametertestscarriedoutatfourlocationsareshowninTable1:SummaryofPermeameter
TestResults.Theminimummeasuredpermeabilitiesrangebetween0.25m/day(P02inclayeysand)to26.5m/day
(P04incleansand).
WeconsiderthattheClassAareas(indicatedonFigure2)willbesuitableforonsitedisposalofstormwaterbythe
use of soak wells or soakage basins. This is applicable only where the ground surface is at least 1.2 m above the
maximumgroundwaterlevelandaboveaclayeyorlaterite(i.e.impermeable)layer.Apreliminarypermeabilityofno

Where possible, soak wells should not be placed within 3 m of footings (subject to local council regulations).
Discharge from soak wells has been known to cause densification of loose sandy soils, leading to settlements of
footingsandslabs.Wheresoakwellsareplacedclosertofootings,theymustbecarefullywrappedwithgeotextileto

GeotechnicalEngineeringReport
UNDERSTANDING YOUR GEOTECHNICAL

ENGINEERING REPORT
GALT FORM PMP11 Rev1
1. EXPECTATIONS OF A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT
This document has been prepared to clarify what is and is not provided in your geotechnical report. It is intended to inform you
of what your realistic expectations of this report should be and how to manage your risks associated with geotechnical
conditions.
Geotechnical engineering is a less exact science than other engineering disciplines. We include this information to help you
understand where our responsibilities as geotechnical engineers begin and end, to help the client recognise his responsibilities
and risks. You should read and understand this information. Please contact us if you do not understand the report or this
explanation. We have extensive experience in a wide variety of geotechnical problems and we can help you to manage your risk.
2. THIS REPORT RELATES TO PROJECT-SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
This report was developed for a unique set of project-specific conditions to meet the needs of the nominated client. It took into
account the following :
The project objectives as we understood them and as described in this report;

the specific site mentioned in this report; and
the current and proposed development at the site.
It should not be used for any purpose other than that indicated in the report. You should not rely on this geotechnical report if
any of the following conditions apply:
the report was not written for you;

the report was not written for the site specific to your development;
the report was not written for your project (including a development at the correct site but other than that listed in the
report); or
the report was written before significant changes occurred at the site (such as a development or a change in ground
conditions).
You should always inform us of changes in the proposed project (including minor changes) and request an assessment of their
impact.
Where we are not informed of developments relevant to your geotechnical engineering report, we cannot be held responsible
or liable for problems that may arise as a consequence.
Where design is to be carried out by others using information provided by us, we recommend that we be involved in the design
process by being engaged for consultation with other members of the design team and by being able to review work produced
by other members of the design team which relies on geotechnical information provided in our report.

3. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING LOGS
Our reports often include logs of intrusive and non-intrusive geotechnical investigation techniques. These logs are based on our
interpretation of field data and laboratory results. The logs should only be read in conjunction with the report they were issued
with and should not be re-drawn for inclusion in other documents not prepared by us.
4. THIRD PARTY RELIANCE
We have prepared this report for use by the client. This report must be regarded as confidential to the client and the clients
professional advisors. We do not accept any responsibility for contents of this document from any party other than the
nominated client. We take no responsibility for any damages suffered by a third party as a consequence of any decisions or
actions they may make based on this report. Any reliance or decisions made by a third party based on this report are the
responsibility of the third party and not of us.
5. CHANGE IN SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The geotechnical recommendations in this report are based on the ground conditions that existed at the time when the study
was undertaken. Changes in ground conditions can occur in numerous ways including as a result of anthropogenic events (such
as construction on or adjacent to the site) or natural events (such as floods, groundwater fluctuations or earthquakes). We
should be consulted prior to use of this report so that we can comment on its reliability. It is important to note that where
ground conditions have changed, additional sampling, testing or analysis may be required to fully assess the changed conditions.
6. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS DURING CONSTRUCTION
Practical constraints mean that we cannot know every minute detail about the subsurface conditions at a particular site. We use
engineering judgement to form an opinion about the subsurface conditions at the site. Some variation to our evaluated
conditions is likely and significant variation is possible. Accordingly, our report should not be considered as final as it is
developed from engineering judgement and opinion.
The most effective means of dealing with unanticipated ground conditions is to engage us for construction support. We can only
finalise our recommendations by observing actual subsurface conditions encountered during construction. We cannot accept
liability for a reports recommendations if we cannot observe construction.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Unless specifically mentioned otherwise in our report, environmental considerations are not included. The investigation
techniques used by us in developing our report differ from those for an environmental investigation. Our report was not
prepared with environmental considerations in mind and it is the clients responsibility to satisfy himself that environmental
considerations have been taken into account for the site. If you require guidance on how to proceed on evaluating
environmental risk at the site, we can provide further information and contacts.
