The outlet duct alignment will traverse geological units 11, 12 and 13 along the left side embankment of the Little Para River. A geological plan and sections have been prepared and excavation and stability conditions examined. • The following...

Investigations to determine safe bearing capacities and recommended rounding depths for 10 bridge sites between Marla Bore, South Australia, and Baystone Bore, Northern Territory, have been carried out. Bearing capacities, in most cases presumed,...

Engineering geological investigations consisting of cable tool drilling of 10 holes up to 15.25m deep, penetration testing and seismic refraction surveys were completed at the proposed CBD of the Monarto city centre. Drilling encountered thin...

This report summarises the results of all material testing covering the period from the initial investigations to date. Areas of material investigation mainly include petrographic description of rock, analyses of clays, concrete aggregate testing and...

Three cable tool holes have been drilled to investigate the foundation conditions for a proposed new bridge over the railway line, on Burbridge Road, Hilton. Drilling disclosed a near horizontal sequence of Quaternary and Tertiary sediments which are...

The proposed subdivision is underlain by an upper horizon of expansive dark brown silty clay 0.30 to 0.60m thick, above a red-brown silty clay both units being part of the Pooraka Formation. The red-brown silty clay is recommended as a foundation...

The proposed workshop site is underlain by at least 30 m of stiff clay and sand of the Pooraka and Hindmarsh Clay Formations. A surface layer, up to 0.80 m thick, of fill (mostly boiler ash and cinders) overlies the clay. An allowable bearing capacity...

Drilling of 25 cable tool holes to depth up to 20.1m in the designated area for Monarto New Town illustrates the nature, distribution and thickness of Quaternay and Tertiary sediments. The main tertiary units are the marine fossiliferous limestone of...

Titan prospect is located within Exploration Licence 3209, and lies 30 km north of the Olympic Dam mine. The prospect was first drilled by Western Mining Corp. in 1976 with diamond drillhole BD 1, and in 1981 with a second hole, BD 2. Both holes hit...
