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, range from 5 to 20 tons/square foot (500-2,000 kPa). Most footings will be located on cemented Pleistocene Alluvium or on weathered granite. Excavation difficulties may be experienced in the granite. Scour depths are believed to be less than 3 m, even on major watercourses.
