Engineering investigations at the Monarto City Centre consisted of 8 diamond drill holes up to 15m deep, 25 backhoe test pits, detailed mapping and seismic refraction surveys. The area consists of Kanmantoo Group meta-sediments, in part overlain by a...

Water level data suggests that there is little transmission of groundwater via the Pallamana Fault. Groundwater quality is generally poor, particularly in the southern part of the area. Significant increases in runoff from the Honarto area to the nest...

A proposed subdivision at Murray Bridge has been examined with reference to the suitability of the site for residential development. The site is covered by up to 0.30 metres of silt soil overlying calcrete capped limestone and calcareous sandstone...

This report summarises the known hydrogeology along the Bremer River in the vicinity of Callington where it has been suggested that an irrigation area be established to use sewage effluent - derived from a treatment works adjacent to Monarto....

Groundwater flow in the Upper Murray region is generally towards the River Murray except in the Noora area where contours show a depression in the water table surface. The Noora area appears to be the most suitable site for an evaporation basin for...

Sources of coarse aggregate were investigated for the Monarto Development Commission. Recrystallised limestone near Murray Bridge was tested by four diamond drill holes, and gneisses near Pallamana were tested by 8 holes. Large quantities of suitable...

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...

Two potential evaporation sites have been delineated within 20 km south and southwest of Waikerie following the drilling of 31 shallow rotary holes. A further two sites were outlined between Cadell and Waikerie as a result of an inspection of...

The Pallamanna Fault is a Palaeozoic feature on the western margin of the Murray Basin near Murray Bridge. Geophysical methods were used to delineate it and to estimate its throw. The results suggest that the fault zone itself is steeply dipping (70o...

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...

Landmark Stone Pty Ltd was approached by David West (Executive Director, Architectural Conservation, International Conservation Services of Sydney) to investigate re-opening one of the three Waikerie Limestone quarries in the Riverland of South...

In October 2000 GTL Energy Pty Ltd began commercial investigations into the feasibility of establishing within Australia newly proven [coal] gas-to-liquids technology for combining power generation and synfuel production, by identifying potentially...

Stratigraphic drilling has been undertaken by PIRSA in the South Australian portion of the northern Murray Basin to investigate the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Cainozoic sedimentary sequences, as well as the heavy mineral sand potential of...

The contract drilling of three production wells, three combined interflow/production wells, three interflow wells, one observation well and seven drainage wells was carried out by Thompson Drilling Company as part of Stage 2 of the Qualco Sunlands...

Nine rotary mud open holes with a total penetration of 499.3 m were drilled, chip sampled and geophysically logged in a search for Moorlands - type coal in Eocene Renmark Beds to the south-east of Murray Bridge. Although the target horizon was...

The interpreted stratigraphic succession is as follows: 0-61 feet: terrestrial sands (Pleistocene-Recent); 61-180 feet: yellow-brown sands, clayey sands and grits (Loxton Sands, Upper Miocene); 180-195 feet: light grey-buff sands (? continental ?...
