Following the discovery, drilling and grouting of a large cavity in the proposed foundation area for the green milling section of the Mt Gambier Government sawmill, a second large cavity was found in the same area. A further 29 diamond drill holes...

Following a request by the Architect-in-chief to test foundation conditions for a proposed 12 storey women's radiotherapy block immediately east of the present Royal Adelaide Hospital, 10 percussion boreholes were put down and show a variable sequence...

Ten 30” diameter test bores revealed colluvial and alluvial deposits ranging from clay to coarse gravel, with silty and sandy material predominating. Profile development is mature, but shallow. There are superficial similarities in the profiles...

Most of the area has a shallow mantle of soil overlying jointed bedrock, a material of high bearing capacity. Most house sites will require benching, but a few may be utilised without special preparation. In two small, localised areas the possibility...

Three test bores revealed alluvial clayey silts, silty clays and clays with minor sand, grit and gravel. The water table was established at 42 feet below the surface, the water being potable and non-injurious to concrete. An avenue of large eucalypts...

Four test holes were put down on the above site, by means of the Land rover mounted power auger, for the purpose of determining the overall foundation conditions present. A total footage of 56was drilled. Water was struck at shallow depth in three...

The East Boolcunda Basin was examined in order to map the Triassic rocks in detail and to assess their coal-bearing potentiality. It was found that these rocks conform to a true basin structure, similar in most respects to the Leigh Creek and...

Five test pits, each approximately 5' deep were examined on the site. Additional information to a depth of 8’ was obtained by hand auger boring. The profile was generally uniform throughout, with sand overlying coarse limestone marl to variable depth....

Following a request by the South Australian Housing Trust, a brief preliminary survey was made of the old B.H.P. aerodrome in Whyalla, to determine foundation conditions for home building. The main problem was the suspected salinity of portion of the...

The site was tested by a programme of three power auger holes and subsequently by eight percussion holes, where sealed tube samples were obtained for laboratory tests of the subsurface material. Soil is type RB3a, the subdominant soil type of the...

Three test holes were initially drilled to depths of up to 100’, to determine the stratigraphic sequence and provide a basis for the selection of the number and depth of sealed tube samples, required for the 7 subsequent bores. The profile consists of...

Two test holes were put down at the site, Percussion Hole No. 1 to a depth of 40’, and Percussion Hole No, 2 to a depth of 66’. The soil profile consisted of 9’ of calcareous material overlying a considerable thickness of plastic fissured clays,...
