2. Field Investigation
The investigation involved drilling of Seven (7) boreholes to a maximin depth of 4.4m within
the site area. Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests were undertaken adjacent to each
borehole to estimate the strength of the soil layers. The borehole locations were determined
on site with respect to the site accessibility and locations of existing underground services.
Approximate borehole locations are presented in Figure 1. A site sketch showing the
approximate borehole locations are presented in Figure 2. The field investigation was carried
out on 23 March 2020.
Borehole drilling method used was solid flight auger undertaken by a ute-mounted rig. The
soil profile encountered in the boreholes was logged by Geotesta Geotechnical Engineer in
accordance with AS 1726-2017.
Upon completion of the drilling work, the boreholes were backfilled with soil cuttings. All
the field observations are presented in the borehole logs in Appendix A. One representative
soil sample collected from test locations were sent to JK Geotechnics, a NATA accredited
laboratory, for CBR testing.

3. Findings
3.1 Surface Conditions
The site under investigation is located within the property of 191-131 Shiralee Road, Orange
NSW 2800. The elevation is approximately 907 AHD. The site has a flat area with average
slope of <5%. At the time of inspection, the site is vacant. A residential dwelling is located at
south and northeast of the property. The site is located within the local government of Orange
City Council.
3.2 Site Geology
The geological origin of the soil profile was identified from our visual examination of the soil
samples, geotechnical experience, and reference to geological maps of the area. The geological
map of the area indicates that the site is underlain by Cainozoic Units, Pyroxene olivine
basalt, plagioclase basalt, alkali basalt, trachybasalt and trachyandesites. (Orange, 1:100000
Geological Sheet, 8731 ).

4. Pavement Design Recommendations
4.1 Design CBR Value
For the purpose of designing the proposed new roads on this site design CBR values as shown
in Table 3 have been adopted for the natural silty clay and clayey silt subgrade for different
roads. To provide a final pavement design, once the roads are excavated down to subgrade
level based on the geotechnical properties of the subgrade a new pavement design will be
undertaken to confirm the actual pavement thickness.

4.4 Subgrade Preparation
The subgrade shall be compacted to give a density ratio of 100% Standard determined using
AS1289.5.4.l (2007) -"Methods of Testing Soils for Engineering Purposes". Compaction
certificates, from a N.A.T.A. registered laboratory, verifying this are to be submitted to
Council's Engineer or the Accredited Certifier prior to placement of the pavement materials.
Non-cohesive soils are to be compacted to give a density index of 80%, determined using
AS1289.5.6.1 (1998) --"Methods of Testing Soils for Engineering Purposes". Testing to be
carried out at the rate of one test per 50 lineal metres of road, with a minimum of two tests
on any one road.
Where areas of subgrade fail a roller test the defective material shall be removed and replaced
with similar sound material or other material approved by Council's Engineer or the
Accredited Certifier and shall be re-tested to ensure a satisfactory inspection.
It is recommended that any uncontrolled fill material or soft spots encountered m the
proposed subgrade be removed to reveal stiff/very stiff silty clay. The removed section of the
subgrade shall be backfilled to the underside of the pavement level, in layers not exceeding
12
91 & 131 Shiralee Road, Orange NSW 2800 NE633
200 mm loose thickness with select fill or site derived clay material compacted to 98-102% of
maximum dry density of standard compaction (AS 1289.5.1.1) with moisture condition at the
equilibrium moisture content or -2% to +2% of the optimum.
4.5. Base Preparation
The road pavement shall be constructed on the sub-base in uniform layers to provide the
pavement thickness in accordance with the pavement design. No individual layer shall be
more than 200mm or less than 100mm compacted thickness. The base course material shall
be uniformly compacted with the required moisture content to achieve satisfactory
compaction and shall be graded and trimmed parallel to the designed finished surface.
Where stabilised crushed rock is used as the base course material, it shall be spread and
compacted within twenty-four (24) hours of delivery.
4.6. Compaction Requirements
The subbase and base course materials is to be compacted to give a density ratio of at least
98% Modified, determined using AS1289.5.4.1 (2007) --"Methods of Testing Soils for
Engineering Purposes". Compaction certificates from a N.A.TA. Registered laboratory,
verifying this, are to be submitted to Council's Engineer or the Accredited Certifier prior to
placement of the base course. Testing shall be carried out at the rate of one test per 50 lineal
metres of road, with a minimum of two tests on any one road.
During compaction operations the moisture content of the material of a layer or course shall
be uniformly adjusted throughout so as not to exceed Optimum Moisture Content or be less
than Optimum minus 3% or as otherwise approved.
Inspection of the subgrade, subbase, and base courses by a Council Engineer or the
Accredited Certifier will be a roller test, using a steel wheeled three-point roller having a
weight of at least ten (10) tonnes or at Council's discretion. The placement of pavement
material shall not commence until after a satisfactory inspection by Council's Engineer or the
Accredited Certifier.
4.7. Subsurface Drainage
It should be noted that the pavement construction must be accompanied by improvement of
the subsurface and surface drainage of the road.
13
91 & 131 Shiralee Road, Orange NSW 2800 NE633
Subsurface drainage may also be complemented by the use of table or spoon drains on both
sides of the pavement, or just on the inside of the pavement if kerb and channel is to be
constructed on the lower side. Careful consideration should be given to minimize the
potential for the water in the table drain to infiltrate the pavement subgrade. It is
recommended that some form of erosion protection is provided to the table drains if these
are to be utilized on the outer side of the road shoulders. To improve the trafficability of the
site and to minimize any construction delays, adequate drainage of whole site during
construction should be provided. No pooling of water at the surface should be allowed. The
pavement should be constructed with a minimum of 3% cross fall subject to further design
consideration by the Design Engineers.
4.8. Construction Works
It is recommended that Geotesta be engaged to provide a site inspection during the early
stage of construction to confirm that the ground conditions of the subgrade along the
proposed pavement construction are consistent with the assumptions or findings in this
report.

91 & 131 Shiralee Road, Orange NSW 2800 NE633
5. Earthworks Recommendations
5.1 Excavation
The new road will require minor earthworks to be undertaken. Cut operations in the firm to stiff subgrade is not expected to encounter any difficulty with standard excavation machinery.
5.2 Temporary Cut Batters
Unsupported excavation of up to 1.5m into the existing soil profile should be no steeper than lH:1 V. For excavation deeper than 1.5m, the cut batter should be no steeper than 2H:1 V. The above recommendations assume that there is no existing structure adjacent to the excavation area. Even at the above cut batters it should be noted that following rainy periods, some degree of fretting and minor slumping of the soil is anticipated.
5.3 Excavation Adjacent the Existing Footing or Structures
Excavations performed adjacent to existing footings or structures have the potential to undermine them. Excavations should only be undertaken above the footing pressure projection line which, as a guide, can be taken as a line projected 40° from the horizontal at the base of the footing.
5.4 Erosion and Sediment Control
An Erosion and Sediment control plan should be implemented before commencing any earthworks for the proposed project. Some general guidelines to be taken into consideration when preparing an Erosion and Sediment control plan include:
• Establishing a single entry and exit point when construction work commences;
• Minimise the area to be cleared and retain as much vegetation as possible;
• Install sediment control fences along the low side of the site before commencing work;
• Fill in and compact all areas as soon as practicable;
• Divert rainwater run-off away from the work site and install a silt trap around the site perimeter during construction;
• Provide temporary earth drain around the proposed site if possible, to prevent water logging within the exposed earth banks.
15
91 & 131 Shiralee Road, Orange NSW 2800 NE633
5.5 Earthworks
Material used for any filling operations which may be required at the site should be free of organic and/or unsuitable material and must be placed in loose layers not exceeding 250mm thickness. All engineered fill will need to be compacted to achieve a minimum dry density ratio of 98% Standard Compaction with the test performed in accordance with Australian Standard AS 1289 5.1.1. Water content of the fill should be reduced by aeration or increased by adding water as necessary to achieve the required compaction.
5.6 Compaction Requirements
Compaction of backfill material is required to ensure that excessive surface settlement does not occur. The required backfill density and minimum frequency of testing for compaction control as detailed in AS 3798 -- 2007 are summarised below:
• 1 test per layer per 500m2; or
• 1 test per 100m3 distributed reasonably evenly throughout full depth and area; or
• 3 tests per visit (whichever requires the most tests)
Testing should be undertaken in accordance with AS 1289 "Methods of testing for soil engineering purposes". Tested layers that do not satisfy the outlined criteria are to be stripped, replaced, re-compacted and re-tested to achieve the minimum compaction requirement specified above.
Testing of compaction density should be undertaken by a suitably qualified geotechnical testing company.

Information about This Report The report contains the results of a geotechnical investigation conducted for a specific purpose and client. The results should not be used by other parties, or for other purposes, as they may contain neither adequate nor appropriate information. In particular, the investigation does not cover contamination issues unless specifically required to do so by the client.
Test Hole Logging The information on the test hole logs (boreholes, test pits, exposures etc.) is based on a visual and tactile assessment, except at the discrete locations where test information is available (field and/or laboratory results). The test hole logs include both factual data and inferred information.
Groundwater Unless otherwise indicated, the water levels presented on the test hole logs are the levels of free water or seepage in the test hole recorded at the given time of measuring. The actual groundwater level may differ from this recorded level depending on material permeability (i.e. depending on response time of the measuring instrument). Further, variations of this level could occur with time due to such effects as seasonal, environmental and tidal fluctuations or construction activities. Confirmation of groundwater levels, phreatic surfaces or piezometric pressures can only be made by appropriate instrumentation techniques and monitoring programmes.
Interpretation of Results The discussion or recommendations contained within this report normally are based on a site evaluation from discrete test hole data. Generalized, idealized or inferred subsurface conditions (including any geotechnical cross-sections) have been assumed or prepared by interpolation and/or extrapolation of these data. As such these conditions are an interpretation and must be considered as a guide only.
Change in Conditions Local variations or anomalies in the generalized ground conditions do occur in the natural environment, particularly between discrete test hole locations. Additionally, certain design or construction procedures may have been assumed in assessing the soil-structure interaction behavior of the site. Furthermore, conditions may change at the site from those encountered at the time of the geotechnical investigation through construction activities and constantly changing natural forces. Any change in design, in construction methods, or in ground conditions as noted during construction, from those assumed or reported should be referred to GEOTESTA for appropriate assessment and comment.
Geotechnical Verification Verification of the geotechnical assumptions and/or model is an integral part of the design process investigation, construction verification, and performance monitoring. Variability is a feature of the natural environment and, in many instances, verification of soil or rock quality, or foundation levels, is required. There may be a requirement to extend foundation depths, to modify a foundation system or to conduct monitoring as a result of this natural variability. Allowance for verification by geotechnical personnel accordingly should be recognized and programmed during construction.
Reproduction of Reports Where it is desired to reproduce the information contained in our geotechnical report, or other technical information, for the inclusion in contract documents or engineering specification of the subject development, such reproductions should include at least all of the relevant test hole and test data, together with the appropriate standard description sheets and remarks made in the written report of a factual or descriptive nature.
