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 holes and subsequently prevented an adequate flow of auger cuttings coming to the surface. The profile established is relatively uniform and consists essentially of a surface silty loam horizon, overlying soft sandy and limey clay, thence grading somewhat irregularly into stiff green grey mottled clay, very stiff, impermeable and of good bearing capacity. The recommended foundation practice is the use of surface footings, supported on piers seated well within the green grey clay horizon, i.e. at a depth of say 10 from the soil surface. Bearing capacity at this depth would be in the vicinity of 4 tons per square foot.
