A site investigation has been carried out for Public Buildings Department for a two storey Primary School at Hillcrest. The school will be a concrete building with load bearing walls, seated upon piles, and a groundfloor shelter block with pier and beam footings. Piles will have point loadings of 30 tons, 50 tons and 80 tons, respectively. The investigation was requested in a letter to the Director of Mines on 24th August 1964. Two percussion drill holes were drilled at the site, Hole 1 to 98 feet and Hole 2 to 52 feet. Open tube samples were taken in both holes, apart from various intervals where drilling was necessary, and in Hole 2 where sealed tube samples were obtained from selected depths. Standard Penetration Tests were carried out in both drill holes, below 50 feet in Hole 1 and above 50 feet in Hole 2. The holes have been logged on a scale of 1 inch to 10 feet and the materials encountered have been classified according to the Unified Soils Classification System. This report describes the results of the drilling and discusses the foundation characteristics of the soils at the proposed site.
