1 AUTHORITY

On the instructions of Albert Fry Associates, consulting engineers acting on behalf of the Client, The

Embassy of India, Dublin, a ground investigation was undertaken at the above address. The works

were required to provide geotechnical information for input to the design and construction of

refurbishment of the existing building and a single storey extension to the rear with a single level

basement.

2 SCOPE

The extent of the investigation was as instructed by the Engineer and included percussion boreholes,

a trial pit to reveal the existing foundation, infiltration tests, in-situ and laboratory testing and the

preparation of a report including recommendations for construction.

3 DESCRIPTION OF SITE

As shown on the site location plan in Appendix A, The Embassy of India is located on the west side

of the R118 Merrion Road, near its junction with Merlyn Road in South Dublin.

The three storey masonry building is located in a rectangular site including a hard and soft

landscaped area to the front (as viewed from Merrion Road) and a garden area to the rear. The

exploratory hole location plan in Appendix A and the aerial photograph on the following page show

the layout of the site

4 SITE OPERATIONS

The Site Operations, conducted on 4 May 2011, comprised:

• two boreholes to the front of the building (BH01 and BH02) by a percussion boring rig.

• a standpipe installation in BH01 and BH02, with variable head permeability testing in both.

• two boreholes to the rear of the building (BH03 and BH04) by hand-operated boring

equipment.

• one trial pit (TP01) to expose the foundations at the front of the existing building.

• three infiltration tests (IT01 – OT03).

Additional works were conducted on 1 November 2011, comprising:

• two boreholes to the rear of the building (BHA and BHB) by percussion boring rig.

• a standpipe installation in both boreholes, with variable head permeability testing in BHA.

The exploratory hole and test locations were as instructed by the Engineer as shown on the plan in

Appendix A.

4.1 Boreholes by percussion boring rig

Four boreholes (BH01, BH02, BHA and BHB) were put down by means of a Dando Terrier

percussion boring rig. The boreholes were bored in 150mm diameter using temporary casing and

boring tools and extended to 3.45-6m depth, terminating in stiff / very stiff Glacial Till.

Disturbed (small bag) samples were taken within the strata encountered.

Standard penetration tests were carried out at 1m intervals, using the split spoon sampler (SPT). The

penetrations are stated for those tests for which the full 150mm seating drive or 300mm test drive

was not possible.

Any water strikes encountered during boring were recorded along with any changes in their levels as

the borehole proceeded.

Appendix C presents the borehole logs.

69 Merrion Road, Dublin Report No. 11-152 Rev A

Glover Site Investigations Ltd 4 November 2011

4.2 Installations and permeability testing

A groundwater monitoring standpipe was installed in the four percussion boreholes.

Details of the installations, including the diameter of the pipe and depth range of the response zone,

are provided in Appendix C on the sheet following the relevant borehole log.

A variable head permeability test was conducted in the standpipes of BH01, BH02 and BHA in

accordance with BS5930 (British Standards Institute 1999). The results and analyses of the tests are

provided in Appendix D.

4.3 Boreholes by hand-operated boring equipment

Two boreholes (BH03 and BH04) were sunk in the rear garden using Carl Hamm manually operated

boring equipment. The use of a mechanical rig was not possible due to access restrictions; the Carl

Hamm equipment was carried through the building.

The boreholes were put down in 80mm diameter and extended to 3.8-4.2m depth, terminating on

refusal in stiff Glacial Till or on a boulder.

Disturbed (small bag) samples were taken of the strata encountered.

Any water strikes encountered during boring were recorded along with any changes in their levels as

the borehole proceeded.

The borehole logs are included in Appendix C.

4.4 Trial pits

A trial pit was excavated, to 0.7m, by hand digging to expose the foundation at the front right of the

existing building.

Any water strikes encountered during excavation were recorded along with any changes in their

levels as the excavation proceeded.

Appendix E presents a drawing and photographs of the pit findings.

69 Merrion Road, Dublin Report No. 11-152 Rev A

Glover Site Investigations Ltd 5 November 2011

4.4 Infiltration tests

An infiltration test was carried out at three locations (IT01-IT03) in hand excavated test pits. The

access arrangements precluded the use of a mechanical excavator. The topsoil cover was removed

and a 150mm square by 100mm deep pit was excavated in the underlying soil. Testing was then

conducted with records taken to allow analysis in accordance with BRE Digest 365 - Soakaways

(BRE, 2007).

Appendix F presents the results and analysis of the infiltration tests.

5 LABORATORY WORK

Upon their receipt in the laboratory, all samples were carefully examined and accurately described

and their descriptions incorporated into the exploratory hole logs. The logs were revised, where

necessary, based on the results of the laboratory tests.

Laboratory testing comprised:

• classification tests: moisture content, Atterberg Limits and particle size distribution by wet

sieving.

• soil chemistry tests: pH and water soluble sulfate content.

• Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) tests, the Inert Waste Suite; conducted by Chemtest in their

laboratory in Newmarket.

Appendix G provides the results of the laboratory tests. Unless stated otherwise, testing was

conducted in accordance with BS1377 (British Standards Institute, 1990).

6 GROUND CONDITIONS

6.1 General geology of the site

Appendix B presents an excerpt of the bedrock geology map for the area (Geological Survey of

Ireland, 1995). The map shows the site to be underlain by rocks of the Calp Formation belonging to

the Carboniferous Period, described as “dark grey to black limestone and shale”.

Page 10: Ground investigation 69 Merrion Road, Dublin -Water... · 2015-05-08 · 4.1 Boreholes by percussion boring rig Four boreholes (BH01, BH02, BHA and BHB) were put down by means of

69 Merrion Road, Dublin Report No. 11-152 Rev A

Glover Site Investigations Ltd 6 November 2011

The online database of the Geological Survey of Ireland provides the following:

• drift cover of sandy alluvium with Made Ground shown at the surface in the area immediately

to the east.

• the Calp Formation is classified Ll: locally important aquifer - bedrock which is moderately

productive only in local zones

• the Irish Interim Vulnerability of the area is classified HL: high to low.

• rockhead encountered at 10-12m depth in boreholes approximately 200m to the north.

6.2 Ground types

The exploratory holes encountered the following ground types, listed in stratigraphical order:

• Topsoil: penetrated in 250-350mm thickness in the four boreholes in the rear garden.

• Made Ground, gravel chippings as surfacing to the front of the building, demolition spoil to

0.6m at BH01 and TP01, soft/firm sandy gravelly to 0.6-2.3m to the front of the building and

to 1.15m in BH04 at the rear.

• Glacial Till (coarse-grained): slightly silty very sandy gravel to 4.2m in BH02and gravelly very

silty sand penetrated to 3.7m in BH04. BHA and BHB encountered dense / very dense

gravelly sand to 2.6-2.9m depth with 0.25-0.4m thick interlayers of stiff sandy gravelly clay.

• Glacial Till (fine-grained): grey sandy gravelly silt and clay, typically stiff becoming very stiff

with depth.

The Glacial Till is typical of the Dublin Boulder Clay, the drift cover in much of the Dublin

area, comprising boulder clay, a lodgement till deposited during the last ice age, about 10,000

years ago. The Boulder Clay is an unsorted material containing boulder clusters, gravel, sand,

silt and clay. It is generally well graded with a fines content (<0.063 mm) of around 35%,

which is sufficient to give its overall behaviour that of a fine-grained soil.

6.3 Groundwater

Groundwater was encountered as follows during exploration:

borehole depth to water

entry (m)

nature of entry

BH01 2.4 water strike

BH02 2.4 water strike

BH03 2.45 water strike

BH04 2.35 water strike

BHA 1.7 water strike

BHB 1.69 water strike

Monitoring of the groundwater level in the standpipes provided the following:

depth to groundwater (m) date

BH01 BH02

4 May 2011 2.36 dry (>2m)

27 May 2011 2.39 dry (>2m)

1 June 2011 2.38 dry (>2m)

1 November 2011 1.89 --

Continued monitoring of the standpipes will allow determination of the seasonal (and possible tidal)

variation of groundwater level below the site.

7 DISCUSSION

7.1 Proposed construction

The proposed construction includes the refurbishment of the existing building and a single storey

extension to the rear with a single level basement.

No further details were available to Glover Site Investigations Ltd when preparing this Report.

7.2 Existing construction

TP01, located to the front right of the existing building showed the foundation to rest on stiff Glacial

Till at 0.6m depth with a 100mm projection from the wall.

The nearby BH02 encountered dense coarse-grained soils at similar depth with BH01 showing Made

Ground to 2.3m over stiff Boulder Clay.

Glover Site Investigations Ltd 8 November 2011

7.3 Recommendations for construction

7.3.1 Basement construction

The formation of a basement with floor level at approximately 3.5m below ground level will require

retention of variable fine-grained and coarse-grained soils and construction below the groundwater

level. Construction immediately to the rear of the existing building on the site, and the proximity of

neighbouring properties, requires that the minimum ground and groundwater movements occur

beyond the basement construction.

Bored continuous flight auger (CFA) secant piles provide the best practical method of construction,

providing both soil retention and, by installing to adequate depth, an hydraulic cut-off allowing

dewatering of the excavation. Propping of the walls will be required in the temporary works stage to

minimise lateral movements of the secant wall.

A possible alternative to secant bored pile walls is the use of steel sheet piles, installed with internal

props to minimise lateral movements. However, there is likely to be some difficulty in achieving

penetration into the very stiff Glacial Till, adequate to provide stability and an hydraulic cut-off.

Sheet piles would allow construction of an insitu or precast cantilever retaining wall: the

incorporation of the sheet piles within the permanent works will allow reduction in the required

concrete construction.

If secant piles are adopted, selected units could be designed to support building vertical loads. These

will attain axial capacity predominantly by shaft adhesion in the stiff /very stiff Glacial Till.

Alternatively, spread foundations bearing on the very stiff dark grey Dublin Boulder Clay, as

encountered at approximately 4m depth, would be appropriate: an allowable bearing pressure of

300kPa can be adopted.

The earth pressures on embedded retaining structures from the predominantly fine-grained in-situ

soil strata should be evaluated using a critical angle of shearing resistance, φ‘crit, of 30°, ignoring any

“effective cohesion”, c’. These design parameters are estimated by applying the recommendations of

Table 2 of BS8002: 1994, which relates φ’crit to plasticity index (taken as 15%). A design bulk density

of 2.0Mg/m3 would be appropriate for the in-situ soils to be retained.

The design of the retaining structures should allow for a standing groundwater level as provided by

the monitoring of the standpipes. In addition, the basement should be designed to resist buoyancy

arising from the design water level.

The detailed design of the basement should be undertaken in conjunction with specialist contractors.

Their proposals should include assurance that the design and method of construction will not cause

damage to the existing Embassy building or neighbouring buildings.

69 Merrion Road, Dublin Report No. 11-152 Rev A

Glover Site Investigations Ltd 9 November 2011

7.3.2 Aggressivity to buried concrete

Chemical tests (pH and water soluble sulfate contents) on soil samples indicate Design Sulphate

Class DS-1 for the site and ACEC Class AC-1 – reference Table C1 of BRE Special Digest 1 (2005).

The Special Digest does not require any measures to protect underground concrete elements greater

that 140mm thick.

7.3.3 Infiltration drainage

The application of infiltration drainage on the site will be dependent on the localised ground

conditions in the area of storm water disposal. The variation of the values of coefficient of

permeability, k, measured in the three standpipes (Appendix D) is indicative of the variable soil types.

The infiltration tests, conducted in near surface soils using small test pits, provided infiltration

coefficients of approximately 0.1m/h (Appendix F).

In design, a Factor of Safety in the upper part of the range recommended by the SUDS Manual

(CIRIA, 2007), should be applied given that the infiltration coefficients have been calculated using a

non-standard test method.

7.4 Waste disposal

The results of the Waste Acceptance Criteria testing of two samples are within the limits of Inert

Waste with the exception of a selenium content in leachate of 0.32mg/kg, above the limit of

0.1mg/kg.

The results of the WAC tests should be provided to the landfill operator to allow confirmation of

disposal requirements.
