boring or rock coring, trial pits, soil sampling, in-situ testing or measurements, laboratory
testing on soil samples or rock cores, etc.
o The procedures for the assessment of all results of the soil investigation tests and
measurements, to define the soil characteristics and geotechnical parameters required to
design the foundations and/or earth works as related to the laying of the pipeline, as well
as the presentation of the results, and the reporting to be provided by Contractor.
5) The SURVEY CONTRACTOR may elect, with explicit indication, to execute complete or
partial sections of the above objective in his response.
6) SURVEY CONTRACTOR shall provide everything, including design, engineering, materials
(other than that supplied by COMPANY), services, project management, procurement and

provides summary details of the specific project requirements for the Kolo Creek - Soku
Pipeline Project. Selection to perform partial sections of the work does not preclude
considerations of all tasks associated for partial completion such as:
the data acquisitions for bottom topography, shallow seabed soils, underwater and
seabed obstructions, existing installations or facilities
metocean criteria like river current profile, tidal effects, depths based on lowest
astronomical tide, river floor bathymetry along laying corridor, etc for marine
surveys
the topographic survey, soils sampling and testing at specified points on the right-of
way, datum identification, location, etc for onshore surveys
River profiling, under River survey, existing pipeline landfalls, etc for near shore
survey
and the buildings intended for human occupancy, separate or multiple dwellings,
barriers or limiting factors to human density growth along pipeline, location and
class determination, etc for human occupancy survey.
8) The SURVEY CONTRACTOR can perform the survey in any direction and in any order to
meet the objective.

sections.
1.3 Route Description
The Kolo Creek field is situated in the southern part of OML-28 in the seasonal flooding fresh-
water swamp area, some 18 km southeast of the Gbaran CPF and about 90 km west of Port
Harcourt. It is one of SPDC’s Eastern Division fields considered as part of the Gbaran Ubie
nodal development to provide feed stock gas for the NLNG Trains 1 to 6.
The Kolo Creek NAG manifold to Soku gas plant pipeline traverses a wide geographical area.
Although land-take and width of ROWs have been reduced with the philosophy of option for
utilising existing routes (where possible), footprints on the environment are still unavoidable.
Environmental, social and safety factors have therefore been analysed as documented in K2S-
TPEF-GEN-LA6958-00001-000 to establish route corridors with the least potential negative
impact on the natural and human ecology, and also ensure public safety during construction and
operation of the pipelines.

liquefaction.
When ground water is first encountered in trial pits, the depth from ground level to point of entry
shall be recorded, as well as the flow and static condition in the excavation, with tidal variation (if
any).
A trial pit shall be considered as completed when it has reached the target depth, and when all
sampling and in-situ testing has been performed satisfactorily.
The soil sampling and coring equipment and procedures shall be capable of sampling operations
in all soil conditions likely to be encountered, including: soft and very soft clays, stiff to hard clays,
silts, loose to very dense sands, gravel, weakly to hardly cemented limestone, rock formations,
etc.
The general procedures for deep sampling in soil borings shall comply with the following
requirements:
a. Driven split-barrel sampling and SPT testing: The equipment and procedure shall comply
with the ASTM standard practice D1586 for split-barrel sampling and SPT testing of soils,
regarding in particular the sample diameter which shall be equal to a minimum of 38 mm
(1.5 inch), the weight and free-fall height of the striking ram, and the recording of
blowcounts (N-values to travel the last 300 mm) to measure the resistance to penetration
for estimating the in-situ soil density or strength.
b. Rotary coring: The equipment and procedure for rotary coring of cemented soils and rock
formations shall comply with the ASTM standard practice D2113 for diamond core
drilling. The drill rods used with retrievable inner-tube core barrels shall be those
manufactured by the core-barrel manufacturer specifically for the core barrel. The
minimum core diameter shall be equal to 55 mm (NW/NQ size), except in weak rocks
where the minimum core diameter shall be increased to 75 or 85 mm (HQ to PQ size).
In soft to stiff cohesive soils, and loose to medium dense non-cohesive soils, thin-walled push
sampling shall be used for recovering relatively undisturbed samples. Driven split-barrel sampling
shall be used in very stiff to hard cohesive soils and in non-cohesive soils, when refusal has
occurred with thin-walled push sampling.
Typically, the soil sampling interval shall not be greater than 1 metre in the upper formations,
down to about 10 metres below the ground level. Below 10 metres of penetration, and particularly
in homogeneous or uniform soil strata, the sampling interval can be increased to 1.5 to 2 metres.
However, at every change of soil strata, and in heterogeneous soil conditions, the sampling
interval shall be equal to 1 metre or less.
In rock formations, the type of drill bit and the length of core runs shall be adapted to maximize
core recovery. In every coring, the initial core run shall be 0.5 metre in length. If the recovery
obtained is greater than 80%, the subsequent core run can then be increased in length by 0.5
metre. In all cases, the length of core runs shall be limited to a maximum of 1.5 metre. When
recovery falls below 80%, the next core run shall be reduced in length by 0.5 metre.
shall be possible during penetration into the soil, or while penetration is interrupted for a
dissipation test.
The test cones shall be checked at regular intervals, at least twice a year, for signs of wear of the
cone tip and friction sleeve, as well as for the general electronics and sensitivity of the sensors
(with respect to accuracy and sensitivity of the measurements). Additional checks on the
sensitivity of the sensors may be required before, during, and/or after the soil investigation field
works.
b. Disturbed and bulk soil samples: Disturbed and bulk soil samples shall be stored
inside two plastic bags, and collected into robust containers until arrival at the office
laboratory.
c. Rock cores: Cores shall be extruded from their linings or split inner tube using a piston-
type extruder, and extrusion shall be in the same direction as the rock core entered the
core barrel. The entire length of core shall be supported during this process. Cores shall
then be stored in suitable and robust boxes, typically of wooden construction with a
hinged lid and up to 1.5 m long. Weak rock samples shall be sealed with cool wax. The
sample boxes shall allow minimum movement of cores when full. Wooden spacers shall
be used to indicate the start and end of each core run, with the cores placed in their
correct natural sequence from upper left to lower right in the box (to be read like a book),
and with spacers of appropriate length to indicate zones of no recovery.
d. Water and soil samples for geochemical analysis: When water or soil samples are
taken for geo-chemical or environmental analysis, the conservation procedure shall
include the equipment needed to freeze the samples from the time they are obtained at
the fieldwork site until arrival at the agreed office laboratory.
e. All samples shall be clearly labelled, using strongly adhesive printed labels, for
unambiguous identification. The labels shall record in particular the Project and site
names, the name of both Principal and Survey Contractor, the soil boring and sample
identifier, the sample depth with both top and bottom of sample depth, and the date of
recovery. The containers or boxes containing samples and rock cores shall also be
identified in the same way, both outside and inside.
f. Optimum conditions of storage and conservation of all samples and cores shall be
supplied, avoiding in particular excessive heat and temperature variation during daily site
operations.
g. Similarly, off-site storage and transportation of the samples from the site to the office
laboratory (by road, sea or air freight) shall be performed with caution in order to
minimise any risk of soil disturbance.
Compressibility test
Unconfined compressive test, or point load index test, for cemented soils and rock cores
or fragments
Geophysical logging and/or X-ray radiography of soil samples or rock cores.
All site laboratory tests shall be carried out based on procedures in accordance with international
standards (i.e. ISO, ASTM, BSI, or equivalent), performed by experienced personnel and
supervised by a qualified geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist.
The summary and interpretation of all above data must make it possible to define the
geotechnical model of the survey site, including:
Hydro-geotechnical context at the site
Identification of the different soil layers and geotechnical formations of interest for
designing the projected foundations and/or earth works
Definition of the physical and geo-mechanical characteristics of each soil layer, as well as
the characteristics essential for designing the projected geotechnical works.
The bibliographical references used to justify the choice of correlations to determine geotechnical
parameters on the basis of in-situ test results shall be provided. Application of such correlations,
or in-situ test interpretation charts, to the site conditions shall be checked against the actual site
data.
Whenever possible, and for each geotechnical formation, an estimate of the uncertainty
associated with the geotechnical parameters shall be supplied, giving the mean value, standard
deviation and coefficient of variation of each of the parameters considered. The test or
measurement results that may be affected by a degree of disturbance of the soil sample shall be
clearly identified and shall not be included in the statistical calculations.
For a soil investigation including several borings distributed over the site surveyed, an estimate of
the spatial variability of the soil characteristics in the definition of the geotechnical parameters
shall be provided in the final engineering report.
Level of the ground water table measured in the soil borings, and the results of
geochemical analyses on water samples (if any)
Final results of all in-situ tests and measurements, including the correction procedure
applied to obtain the final“netmeasurements
Final results of all laboratory tests
Photographic records of typical soil samples and rock cores.
These reports at Issued for Review status shall be presented to Principal after 4 weeks of the
completion of the field works at the geotechnical survey site. After Principal comments have been
implemented the report shall be issued for Approval and the data contained therein used for
design.
