FINAL REPORT

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
“PROPOSED THREE (3)-STOREY RESIDENCE WITH DECK ”
P26-02, 10th – 9th Street, Barangay 183, Villamor Airbase, Pasay City

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Report represents the result if the geotechnical investigation conducted at the site of the above
cited project and location. The investigation work was carried out on April 29, 2022 upon the request of
Mr. Rodolfo M. Arnobit Jr. & Irene Ubaldo the Client/Owner.

The purposed of the exploration is to determine the general subsurface conditions at the site by test
borings with SPT sampling and evaluating these with respect to the concept and foundation design of
the additional structures. The samples obtained from the boreholes were tested for engineering
classification and strength determination.

This report covers the methodology of field and laboratory investigations, subsurface conditions and
geotechnical recommendations to include the allowable soil bearing capacity and settlement analysis
abd other relevant information required for the design and construction of the building.

2.0 FIELD INVESTIGATION PROGRAM

One (1) borehole was drilled to a depth of 10m at the site on the whole day of 29 December 2022 with
the use of a rotary drilling machine. The location of this lone borehole is shown in Figure 1.0.

The soil was advanced by wash boring and standard penetration test (SPT). The Standard Penetration
Test (SPT) is performed every 1.50 meter of depth measured from the ground surface or seabed. Initially
an NW-casing was driven into the ground using the driver hammer weighing 63.5 kg. up to a depth of
0.50 m. The section of the casing which was driven into the ground was cleaned up to the bottom and a
water swivel and lifting bail at the top. This is connected to the water pump by a heavy duty hose
attached to the water swivel. This assembly is attached to the cathead by means of a rope which passes
through the sheave and tied to the lifting bail. Each time the rods are dropped they are also partiall
rotated manually by means if a wrench placed around the rods. The latter process helps to the break up
the material at the base of the hole. The resulting cuttings are carried to the surface in the drilling water
which flows in the annular space between he drilling water which flows in the annular space between
the drill rods and the inside if the casing. The process is continued until the depth for taking SPT samples
reached.
