SOIL T YPE
 Soil type : Loam soil
 Soil bearing capacity: 80-160 KN/m2
 Loam soil is great for supporting

foundations due to its evenly balanced
properties.
 Loam soil is also is well – drained which

leads to good growth of numerous plants
Fig. loam soil predominates the site due to the presence of vegetation
and trees.

 Area has low percentage of parks

and in need of optimizing the space.

STRENGTHS
 Possibility of creating micro climate due to
usage of abundant vegetation and water
bodies.
 The trees can be used as wind breaker and the
floral vegetation can be used for landscaping.
 Visual connectivity: the elevated site provides a

good view of the surrounding areas.
Fig: wind breaker Fig: connected to main highway
 Connected to the main Thimphu - Phuntsholing
Highway.
 Easy access from the hostels
 Located away from the academic and

administrative area.

WEAKNESSES
 Stench from the canteen
waste.
 Located near Staff residences.
 Shortage of water supply as

the source has leakage of Fig: marshy surrounding
water.
 Marshy surroundings
increases humidity of the site.
 Increased construction costs

due to steep topography. Fig: staff residences Fig: steep topography

THREATS
 Prone to landscape and soil
erosion.
 Presence of dense jungle at the

periphery of site adds threats
from wild animals.
 Storm water challenges will be

difficult to mitigate if proper Fig: prone to landscape Fig: dense jungle
strategies are not adopted.
(Clogging, marshes and
swamps)
 Maintenance of cleanliness due

to presence of bad odor and
drainage.
