A site investigation has been carried out for the Public Buildings Department, for a Primary School at Draper. The proposed design is for a concrete building with load bearing walls seated upon spiles with point loadings of 30 tons, 50 tons and 80 tons respectively. The request for the investigation was made in a letter to the Director of Mines on August 28th 1964. Two percussion drill holes were drilled at the site, Hole 1 penetrating to 94 feet and Hole 2 to 60 feet. Open tube samples were taken throughout both and sealed samples were also obtained at approximately five feet intervals in Hole 2. Standard Penetration Tests were made at selected intervals in Hole 2. The holes have been logged on a scale of 1 inch to 10 feet and the soil materials encountered have been classified according to the Unified Soils Classification System. This report describes the results of logging and briefly discusses the foundation characteristics of the soils at the site.
