1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of a geotechnical investigation conducted by GEOCONSUL LTEE
during September 27-29, 2012 for proposed wind turbine construction at Mare Aux Vacoas, Mauritius.
The consulting geotechnical engineering services of GEOCRUST LTD (Consulting Geotechnical
Engineers & Geoscientists) were retained by GEOCONSUL LTEE to carry out geotechnical
investigation field supervision and report preparation services for proposed turbine tower construction.
This factual report summarizes the results of the site investigations and in-situ testing carried out on
behalf of our client PAD & CO. LTD. This report is being written to provide guidelines for foundation
design.
The tests and terminologies used in this report are according to BS1377: 1990, BS 8004:1986 and
BS5930: 1999 plus A2 2010. The site investigation and recommendations generally follow accepted
practices for geotechnical engineering. The format and contents are guided by the client’s specific
needs as per agreed scope of work. Presented herein are the results of our findings (such as subsoil
conditions and groundwater condition from exploratory corehole drilling program at four different
locations, along with comments and recommendations are pertaining to guidelines for foundation
design aspects.
The purpose of these services is to determine subsurface ground conditions and geotechnical
engineering recommendations based on scope of work relative to:
In order to accomplish these objectives, the following scopes of work have been included in
accordance with client’s project requirements:
The project details and proposed constructions were not provided during the geotechnical site
investigation. It is our understanding that the proposed construction of turbine tower construction will
comply with standard design and specifications. It is assumed that the wind turbine tower facilities will
be of pre-fabrication construction material (structural steel, metal panel etc.)
The project site is located at Mare Aux Vacoas, Mauritius. The general location of the site is presented
in Figure 1 (Appendix A): Vicinity Map and Figure 2 (Appendix A): Land use Map.
The island of Mauritius is of volcanic origin and formed by several series of basaltic rock of volcanic
activities. Intermediate and more recent series of volcanic eruptions from several small emissions of
volcanic rock distributed over the whole island cover the ancient central volcanic plateau and the
deeply eroded valleys heading to the sea. Most of the island is now covered with the intermediate and
late flows which have in general a gentle dipping towards the sea from the interior of the island.
Isolated remnants of the initial ancient series occur in the highest peak of the island.
The lava flows consist of a sequence of massive basalt strata with vacuolar (vesicular) strata and
volcanic breccias on top. Volcanic tuff layers occurs in-between the lava flows. The prevailing rock is a
fine grained, dark to light grey, hard to very hard basalt often with intrusions of variable chemical
composition. The vacuolar strata have sometimes vesicles which are filled with calcite, zeolite or
aragonite.
Overburdens are in-situ residual soil or colluviums, i.e. transported hill wash of completely weathered
basaltic rock. Alluvial deposits which can be found rarely along some rivers are particular sand and
gravel of eroded and transported basalt fractures. Occasionally alluvial clayey soil is to be found in
some river valleys.
The project site under ground investigation belongs to recent to intermediate volcanic formation. The
geological map (Giorgi, Loicc-1999) presented in the Figure 3 (Appendix A), which shows location
of project site. The project site consists of Latosolic Brown Forest Soil & Humic Latsols (Published
Notes on the 1:100,000 soil map of Mauritius by parish et. al. 1965) is presented in Figure 4
(Appendix A).
Standard penetration tests were carried out (in accordance with the requirements of BS1377: Part
9:1990) by driving a 50mm split spoon by means of a 63.5kg hammer falling a distance of 760mm.
The SPT blow count N is the number of blows required to drive the spoon by 300mm after initially
seating the spoon by 150mm.The SPT tests where the full penetration of 450mm could not achieved
after 51 blows are termed as REFUSAL (RF). The details of SPT data are included in the Appendix B
(Corehole Logs and core photographs) and Table 1.
Groundwater affects many elements of the foundation design and construction, so that the ground
water level was generally extrapolated from end of corehole drilling. Groundwater observations are
presented on the corehole log in the Appendix B. It must be recognized that groundwater levels are
subject to seasonal and annual fluctuations depending on many factors such as precipitation, water
line break, surface drainage and hydrogeology of the area. A contingency amount should be included
in the construction budget to allow for the possibility of variations in groundwater conditions, which
may result in modification of the design, and/or changes in construction procedures. Therefore, the
actual groundwater levels recorded at this time of investigation may differ from those noted in the
Borehole Logs and Table 2 at the time of construction.
The detailed stratigraphy encountered in a borehole location of the subsoil is given on the attached
geotechnical borehole logs (Appendix B). These boundaries are intended to reflect transition zones
for the purposes of geotechnical design and should not be interpreted as exact planes of geological
change. A brief summary of the subsoil stratigraphy encountered in the borehole locations follows. For
ease of interpretation of exploratory test hole subsoil data, the subsoil of condition of each site has
been described below:
0.40-4.50m: Soft to firm Silty Gravel/Gravelly Silt (Residual soil) plus Completely weathered
very weak rock mixture, SPT (N-Value) varies from 3-Refusal;
4.50-6.00m: Moderately strong to strong with occasional thin weak layers BASALT,
moderately weathered with occasional highly weathered, RQD varies from 0-60%, estimated
unconfined compressive strength of 10-30Mpa.
0.0-3.10m: Stiff to firm Silty Gravel/Gravelly Silt (Residual soil) with slight weathered basalt
rock (? Boulder) in matrix of silty gravel / gravelly silt, SPT (N-Value) varies from 18-Refusal;
3.10-6.00m: Strong with occasional thin weak layers BASALT, moderately weathered with
occasional highly weathered, RQD varies from 50-60%, estimated unconfined compressive
strength of 10-50Mpa.
0.30-6.00m: Soft to stiff Silty Gravel/Gravelly Silt (Residual soil) plus Completely weathered
very weak rock mixture, SPT (N-Value) varies from 4-15;
0.40-1.80m: Medium dense to dense Soft to firm Silty Gravel/Gravelly Silt (Residual soil) plus
moderately weathered moderately basalt rock mixture (? Boulder), SPT (N-Value) Refusal;
1.80-6.00m: Strong to moderately strong with occasional thin weak layers BASALT plus
AGGLOMERATE Mixture Rock, slightly to moderately weathered with occasional highly
weathered, RQD varies from 30-90%, estimated unconfined compressive strength of 10-
50Mpa.
In general, the basalt / agglomerate volcanic bed rock has been classified according to Rock
Quality Designation (RQD): RQD less than 50% belongs to weak rock category and RQD
greater than >50% belongs to strong rock category. The rock quality designation (RQD) is an
indirect measure of the number of fractures and the amount of jointing in the rock mass. The RQD is
expressed as a percentage of the ratio of summed core lengths (greater than 100 mm) to the total
cored. The RQD index is used to provide a classification for the rock quality according to the following
limits.
The following recommendations are based on the information available on the proposed structure,
observations made at the subject site, interpretation of the data obtained from the subsurface
investigations, and our experience with similar soils and subsurface conditions encountered at project
site. Since the exploratory corehole drilling represent very limited subsurface conditions, subsurface
conditions could vary substantially during construction from those indicated by corehole log. In such
instances, adjustments to the design and construction of the proposed structures might be necessary,
depending on the actual conditions encountered.
The site appears suitable for the proposed construction. Evaluation and recommendation presented
are based on the interpretation of the subsoil conditions present in the test hole advanced within the
subject site. Comments and recommendations regarding foundations and other issues related to the
geotechnical aspects of the project are presented in the following sections.
Based on the results of the geotechnical investigation, the choice of foundation methods will be depend
on the column loads and whether excavation is required for the proposed development. The following
foundation options should be considered:
On basis of the engineering properties and sub-surface conditions, shallow (Mat foundation) as well as
deep foundation system would be appropriate for proposed structure. The foundation should be
buried / anchored into sound rock sufficiently to resist overturning forces. The minimum depth
at which a foundation should be placed depends on the soil profile, structural requirement, ground
water condition and so on. The design and construction of turbine tower foundation should
conform to applicable codes/standards. The following factors should generally be taken into
consideration in determining the depth of foundations.
If the subsoil near the ground surface consists of a heterogenous fill of uncertain properties or
compressible soil like peat, muck etc. then the foundation should preferably be taken below
the fill to a native dense undisturbed strata/dense undisturbed engineered fill
(compacted/consolidated earth)/strong rock.
The structure should be designed to resist stresses imposed by irregular displacements, the prediction
of differential settlement is often hazardous and it may be preferable to endeavor to reduce differential
settlement or to attain sensibly uniform settlement of all parts of the structure. The following methods
can be employed to reduce differential settlement.
The geotechnical engineering recommendations and design parameters of the above foundation
systems are provided in the following sections. The following engineering soil properties (Table 3)
may be used to design foundation at the project site:
Other design considerations: The site conditions can exclude any risk of ground sliding. There are
no visible signs of slope instabilities in the vicinity of the site. It must be noted that the above should
be considered as a guideline and the required analysis should be carried out by design engineer.
Each foundation scheme should be considered during design stage from stability, feasibility,
economical and practical stand point. At present, the preference has not been given to any of the
foundation types, as a final selection of the foundation system should be determined in conjunction
with economic and structural design considerations. If soft ground with inadequate soil bearing
capacity condition/high water table condition is encountered during the excavation or from subsoil
investigation findings at study site, deep foundation will be preferable.
It is recommended that the mat foundation must be located below the uncontrolled fill/disturbed loose
soil /disturbed weak rock if encountered during construction. The maximum allowable bearing
pressure may be used for the design of mat foundation footings within the native stiff to very stiff
undisturbed residual soil/ strata/ within dense undisturbed engineered fill
(compacted/consolidated earth)/dense bed rock. Loose or disturbed materials or loose boulder
must be removed or compacted from the footing excavation prior to placement of concrete. Hand
cleaning may be required to prepare an acceptable bearing surface. We recommend the mat
foundation be designed to act as a rigid structure.
It is recommended that the mat foundation should be placed at minimum 2.5m below grade in
approved foundation subgrade and with sufficient depth to withstand the over turning moment of the
wind turbine tower. For the mat to resist the overturning moment, the weight of the concrete and any
soil vertically above the foundation can be used.
It is important that all bearing surfaces of foundation must be inspected and approved by our
geotechnical engineer prior to pouring concrete to confirm soil conditions/origin of soil and
bearing pressures as anticipated in design. Any existing disturbed native soil/ low bearing soil
(loose/ soft)/ uncontrolled fill / loose to disturbed boulders should be removed, and replaced with lean
concrete (Non-shrink) or crushed clean granular or granular fill prior to pour concrete. If residual soil
has high swelling and shrinkage potential (high plasticity clay) so that foundation must be placed below
the zone of moisture content fluctuations strata.
The extreme caution should be taken during construction to ensure that all footings bear in engineered
fill or native undisturbed stiff low plasticity silty clay/gravelly silt. It is recommended that under no
conditions the footing should be placed on old fill since the consolidation characteristics can
not be predicted and unacceptable settlements of footings may result. Loose or disturbed
materials should be removed from the footing excavation prior to placement of concrete. Hand
cleaning may be required to prepare an acceptable bearing surface.
The foundation sub-grade excavation should be protected from the ingress of free water, resulting in
the softening of the soil. The footing must not be placed on fill, organic, disturbed soil. Bearing soil
that becomes loose, or softened must be removed and replaced with concrete, or the foundation sub-
grade should be extended to reach soil in an unaffected condition.
It should be noted that the recommended bearing capacities have been calculated by GEOCRUST
from the in-situ standard penetration test for the design stage only.
Alternatively, various methods can be used to improve the bearing capacity of soil below foundation
level (Raft foundation/Spread footing). If soft/loose/wet conditions/inadequate bearing capacity of
foundation soil encountered at footing elevation of the proposed structure, it is recommended
improving the bearing capacity of soil below foundation level (mat foundation/Spread footing). Sub-
excavation excavation should be required at least 1.0m below design footing sub-grade and filled
with 50mm size crushed washed rock (free from fine material) to design footing sub-grade. It is
anticipated that the shallow foundation system using present recommended method to achieve
bearing capacity would be slightly expensive in comparison to conventional footing on native soil with
inadequate bearing capacity.
The above figures are conservatively based on a factor of safety 3 with usual settlement tolerances
(25mm). If residual soil encountered at foundation sub-grade has high swelling and shrinkage
potential (high plasticity materials) so that footing must be placed below the zone of high
moisture fluctuations strata. In our analysis, it is considered that the highly to moderately weathered
moderately strong to strong rock underlying the residual soil is relatively incompressible in comparison
to residual soil.
However, it is important to note that the allowable bearing pressure may be reduced by the presence
of weak layers, discontinuities, or where the rocks are weathered, decomposed, heavily shattered or
steeply dipping, subject to actual ground condition. Therefore, it is important that all bearing
surfaces must be inspected and approved by our geotechnical engineer prior to confirm soil
conditions/origin of soil and bearing pressures as anticipated in design.
Groundwater condition was observed in the end of borehole drilling below existing ground level. In all
cases, the excavation must comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations Act of the
Country. Adequate protection against sloughing of soils should be provided for worker and inspector
entering the excavation.
All surfaces to receive fill should be inspected prior to fill placement to verify that no pockets
loose/soft, or otherwise unsuitable material were left in place, and that the sub-grade is suitable
for structural fill placement.
All fill placement operations should be monitored by this office. Field compaction control testing
should be performed regularly and in accordance with the applicable specification to be issued by
the geotechnical engineer.
The shallow/deep foundation (pile) should be inspected by professional registered geotechnical
engineer for adequate design bearing surfaces material prior to concrete placement.
