    This document provides a method of statement for soil investigation works. It outlines the general process which includes identifying tower locations, setting out the test locations, and carrying out tests using the Mackintosh Probe Method or Rotary Wash Boring Method. The Mackintosh Probe Method involves striking a metal rod to record blow counts, while the Rotary Wash Boring Method uses a machine to bore and take soil samples at intervals to determine the soil strata. Machinery used includes a rotary wash boring machine, water pump, pipes, and clamps.

    METHOD OF STATEMENT
    SOIL INVESTIGATION WORKS

    1.0 General:

    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:

    2.0 Work Plan:

    a. Tower locations are identified and the route angles verified. The foundation data is confirmed.
    b. Equipment is checked and verified adequate and reliable.
    c. Permit, if required, is still valid.

    3.0 Setting Out:

    a. The centre of the tower is identified by checking the back and front angel of the route.
    b. The bisection of the tower is calculated, and the tower legs are identified.
    c. From the centre of the tower and using the foundation data, the centre of the foundation pits are
    marked.

    4.0 Test Procedure:

    a. The instrument is assembled and placed at the centre of the pit.


    b. The test is carried out as per the required specification.
    c. The test is repeated at every foundation pit.

    5.0 Mackintosh Probe ( JKR Probe) Method:

    This method is done by striking the hammers of the probe against the metal rod attach to the hemmer.
    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. Soil strata's and the underground water table will be recorded throughout
    the test.

    6.0 Rotary Wash Boring Method:

    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 samples 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. Samples are

    METHOD OF STATEMENT
    SOIL INVESTIGATION WORKS

    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.

    7.0 Machinery and Tools Use:

    a. A rotary wash boring machine equip with an SPT hammer, diesel motor, metal casing, drilling rods,
    drill bits and sample tube.
    b. A high pressure water pump.
    c. Pipe range
    d. Pipe clamp
    e. Height of Boring Machine at static position will be at 4 meter and 5 meter in height during
    operation
