General Description
Soil investigation is best described as a means to go underground, determining the types of soil
strata (soil mechanics) at a particular point. The data collected will be platforms to determine the end
bearing capacity or the frictional strength of the soil at that particular point which will be translate to
the foundation design. The method use to check (test) the soil strata are as described below:
1.1. Tower locations are identified and the route angles verified. The foundation data is
confirmed.
2.1 The center of the tower is identified by checking the back and front angel of the route.
2.2 The bisection of the tower Is calculated, and the tower legs are identified.
2.3 From the center of the tower and using the foundation data, the center of the foundation
Pits are marked
3.1 The instrument is assembled and placed at the center of the pit.
This method is done by striking the hammers of the probe against the metal rod attach to the
hammer. The striking blow count will be log at every 0.3m interval as the rod penetrates below
ground level. The test will be terminated once achieving 400 blows per 0.3m or when reaching a
maximum penetration of 10m below ground level. The soil strata and the underground water table
will be recorded throughout the test.

This method is to bore down below ground using a rotary wash boring machine which is mechanical
operated with a water pump attach, a metal pipe casing, a smaller pipes with drilling bits and taking
soil sample throughout the boring processes. Soil sample will be taken out of the bore hole in a 0.5m
metal tube at every 1.5m interval to determine the type of soil at that particular point. Sample are
collected by hammering a mechanism call the SPT hammer on hard ground condition and blow
count are recorded or using a thin metal tube press down on soft ground with the metal tube attach
at the end of the metal rod. Soil strata, underground table and soil samples are taken for analysis.
Equipment Use
A rotary wash boring machine equip with and SPT hammer, diesel motor, metal casing, drilling
rods, drill bits and sampling tube.
A high pressure water pump.
Pipe wrench
Pile clamp
The height of the boring machine at static position will be at 4m and 5m height during operation
The floating drilling platform is transported to site by using a mobile crane. Once its on the water, the
platform will move into the position driven by itself via self propelled or tug by a boat. Once the platform is

in position, the four anchor column is gradually lowered down to the sea/river bed and securely anchored.
The test rig is assembled on the working platform and the soil investigation is carried out as usual.
