1. SYNOPSIS
This investigation has demonstrated that below a thin capping of asphalt and made ground,deposits of glacial till generally comprising gravelly sand were encountered to the base of the trial pits ranging in depth between 1.80m and 3.0m. TRL dynamic probes were undertaken below the base of the asphalt and revealed the presence variable but competent surface soils. As a result, it is considered that any hardstanding at the site could be constructed employing traditional pavement design. Furthermore, soakage rates obtained during the investigation were found to be good. In addition, on the basis of chemical testing, it is not considered that the site is contaminated.
2. INTRODUCTION
It is understood that the site is proposed to be developed for use as a bus depot by the demolition of the existing industrial building and resurfacing of the site.
Accordingly, a site investigation has been undertaken in accordance with the information provided by the desk study and as instructed by the client. This work was required in order to determine the nature of the underlying soils, to assess their engineering properties. Additionally, contamination testing of the made ground has been undertaken to enable an assessment of the levels of contamination at this site.
This report presents the data obtained and discusses the ground conditions in relation to the proposed development.

3. LIMITATIONS
The recommendations made and opinions expressed in this report are based on the ground conditions revealed by the site works, together with an assessment of the site and of the laboratory test results. Whilst opinions may be expressed relating to sub-soil conditions in parts of the site not investigated, for example between hole positions, these are for guidance only and no liability can be accepted for their accuracy.
This report has been prepared in accordance with our understanding of current best practice. However, new information or legislation, or changes to best practice may necessitate revision of the report after the date of issue.
4. DESK STUDY
A Phase 1 Desk Study has been undertaken by Rogers Geotechnical Services Ltd and the results were presented as report number J3440/16/EDS in March 2016. That study has been used extensively during the current intrusive investigation.
5. FIELDWORKS
The fieldworks were undertaken between the 13th and 14th of April 2016 and the fieldworks included the following:
Five machine excavated trial pits. One soakaway infiltration test. Eight TRL dynamic probes. One vertical rotary core of the existing warehouse floor slab.
The investigatory locations are shown on the site plan which is presented in Appendix 1 of this report.
5.1 Machine Excavated Trial Pits
A total of five trialpits were excavated in order to reveal the nature of the near surface soils using a tracked JCB 360o 3CX. The soils were logged on site in general accordance with BS5930: 1999, as amended in 2010, and full descriptions are given on the trialpit records which are presented in Appendix 2. At regular intervals throughout the excavation of the pits, samples were taken for chemical and geotechnical testing. The test specimens were retained in the appropriate air tight containers within cool boxes for onward transition to the chemical laboratory.
Once excavations were completed, the trialpits were carefully re-instated with the arisings. Whilst every care was taken during the infilling process, including compacting of the infill at regular intervals with the back acting arm of the excavator, it should be appreciated that some mounding of the surface may have resulted. Moreover, the infilled soils may be subjected to settlement over time, such that a depression in the surface may also occur. Therefore, the locations of any pits undertaken in this investigation should be conveyed to
Rogers Geotechnical Services Ltd J3440/16/E Phone 0843 50 666 87
3
the current site user, as the mounds or depressions associated with the pits may present a risk to current site operations e.g. livestock or agricultural plant equipment. Furthermore, it must be realised that the infilled pits represent an area of disturbance within the site soils, thus the soils at the pit locations may vary characteristically compared to the undisturbed ground. As such, foundations placed in this disturbed material may not perform as anticipated. On instruction from the client- there was seen to be no need to reinstate the surface with tarmac as the site carpark is to be replaced as part of the development.
5.2 Soakaway Tests
Soakaway tests were conducted within location TP3. At the elected test depth, the pit was trimmed and squared as much as practicable. Water was then pumped into the pit and the level monitored at timed intervals relative to a reference bar at ground level. These tests were conducted and calculated in general accordance with the method given by BRE Digest 365 and the results are presented in Appendix 3.
5.3 TRL Dynamic Probes
Eight TRL Dynamic Cone Penetrometer tests were conducted at various locations across the site. The penetrometer consists of an 8kg mass falling through 575mm onto an anvil, which drives a 20mm diameter 60° cone into the ground. The depth the cone is driven per blow is recorded. The results of the dynamic penetration tests are presented as Appendix 4 and include graphs of penetration blows and CBR values versus depth. The percentage CBR value has been obtained from the correlation provided in TRRL Road Note 8 which is given below:
Log10(CBR) = 2.48 – 1.057Log10(mm/blow)
5.4 Vertical Rotary Cores
Within the existing building, a vertically mounted core barrel was employed to drill through the floor. A concrete core of 150mm diameter was recovered. Once the floor was penetrated, TRL6 was undertaken within the resulting void.
6. GEOLOGY
The published geological data for the site has been examined and the following table presents the anticipated geology.
Table 1: Geological Data for the Site Strata Type Strata Name1 Previous
Name2 Description2
Superficial Geology
Sheringham Cliffs Formation Cromer Till
Consists of a thick glacial sequence that contains several distinctive lithofacies. The basal member is the Mundesley Sand Member, which consists of stratified fine-grained sands; this is overlain by the laminated silts and clays. Overlying these are matrix-supported diamictons, which in turn, are overlain by thin units of clay and sand. These deposits are truncated by a highly consolidated matrix-supported diamicton, and finally by the Runton Cliffs Sand and Gravel Member.

Solid Geology
Lewes Nodular Chalk Formation -
Composed of hard to very hard nodular chalks and hardgrounds (which resist scratching by finger-nail) with interbedded soft to medium hard chalks (some grainy) and marls; some griotte chalks. The softer chalks become more abundant towards the top. Nodular chalks are typically lumpy and iron-stained (usually marking sponges). Brash is rough and flaggy or rubbly, and tends to be dirty. First regular seams of nodular flint, some large, commence near the base and continue throughout.
7. STRATA CONDITIONS
During the investigation the geological succession has been shown to include the following:

‘+’ Denotes that the strata extended below the termination depth of the investigated positions, thus the extent of the deposit is only proven to the depths indicated.
Additionally, a concrete core of 150mm in length and 150mm in diameter was recovered. Concreted sub base material was present at the base of the recovered core. The position of this core is recorded on the site plan located in Appendix 1.
No groundwater strikes were encountered during this investigation. However, it should be appreciated that groundwater levels are subject to seasonal variation or changes on local drainage conditions.
8. INSITU TESTING
8.1 Soakaway Tests
On reaching the elected soakaway test depth, a soakaway test was undertaken in the base of borehole TP3. The test was run three times in full accordance with the method given by BRE Digest 365. The results obtained from the soakaway tests are presented in Appendix 3 and are summarised below:

TRL dynamic probes were undertaken at below the base of the asphalt and revealed the presence variable surface soils, ranging between 3% and 45% CBR within the top 0.30m. The probes then showed a general increase in strength, with CBR’s ranging between 15% and 70% depths between 0.35m and 0.38m.
It should be noted that TRL2 recorded CBR’s of up to 7% to depths of 0.79m. This demonstrates thats soft areas of ground may be encountered during the development.
9. LABORATORY TESTING - GEOTECHNICAL
The following programme of laboratory testing has been undertaken on samples obtained during this investigation:

In addition to above, one WAC test was conducted on one representative sample. This testing was undertaken by Chemtest Ltd and the results of all of the chemical testing are presented in Appendix 6 of this report.
11. DISCUSSION OF GROUND CONDITIONS – GEOTECHNICAL
It is understood that the site is proposed to be developed by the demolition of the existing industrial building and resurfacing the site for use as a bus depot. At the time of writing this report the precise construction details have not been finalised, thus the discussion below is of a generalised nature.
11.1 Soakaways
The material found to underlain the site comprises very gravelly sand. Soakage rates obtained during the investigation were found to be good, therefore, consideration may be given to the use of soakaways for drainage at the site. However it should be appreciated that some siltation is possible within the soakaway, thereby reducing the permeability over time. It is therefore recommended that this is taken into account in the soakaway design, however, it may be appreciated that the calculations given in BRE 365 take into account of such fouling.
11.2 Hardstanding
It is considered that any hardstanding at the site could be constructed employing traditional pavement design. On this basis a design CBR value for the granular sub-grade directly below the hard standing of 10% could be employed3.
However, it is recommended that proof rolling be undertaken to establish the suitability of the soils, to expose any soft or weak ground and to ensure the sub-grade is well compacted prior to construction. In areas of soft or weak ground, a thickening of the pavement sub-base may be employed to improve the strength of the structure. Alternatively, weak material could be locally removed and replaced with compacted granular soil.
11.3 Effect of Sulphates
In view of the nature of the underlying soils it is considered that the design sulphate class be assessed with reference to Table C14, which is provided in BRE Special Digest 1, Concrete in aggressive ground: Part C. On the basis of this table and considering the soluble sulphate contents recorded, it can be shown that well compacted buried concrete should be designed in accordance with Class DS-1 requirements. Assuming static groundwater, the table also indicates that the aggressive chemical environment for concrete (ACEC) classification is AC-1s.
In order to evaluate the design chemical (DC) class for the buried concrete at this site reference should be made to Table D15, which can be found in Part D, Specifying concrete
3 Table 11.1, Reproduction of TRRL Report LR1132 (1984), Smith (2006), Smith’s Elements of Soil Mechanics, 8th ed.4 Table C1, Aggressive Chemical Environment for Concrete (ACEC) classification for Greenfield locations.5 Table D1, Selection of the DC Class and the number of APMs for concrete elements where the hydraulic gradient due to groundwater is 5 or less: for general in-situ use of concrete.

for general cast-in-situ use, of BRE Special Digest 1. From this table it may be shown that for an intended working life of at least 50 years the concrete design class DC-1 is required.
12. DISCUSSION OF GROUND CONDITIONS - ENVIRONMENTAL
12.1 Discussion of Test Results
It is understood that the site is proposed to be developed by the demolition of the existing industrial building and resurfacing the site for use as a bus depot. Therefore, the site may be classified as being commercial.
The results of the chemical testing undertaken on soil samples obtained during this investigation have been compared to the ATRISK soil screening values (SSVs) as compiled by WS Atkins plc. These values have been derived in such a way as to adhere to the principles within the revised CLEA model and include the most current release of the SGVs. A list of subscribers is provided within the website6 and these include many local authorities.
A comparison of the results of the testing, together with the data given above, can be found within Appendix 6. These results indicate the following:
Table 5: Summary of contaminated areas.Location Contaminants found to be exceeding SSVs
(commercial)TP1 None.
TP3 None.
TP5 None.
Concentrations of cadmium, chromiumVI, mercury, selenium, cyanide, phenols and petroleum hydrocarbons (aliphatic C5 to C35 and aromatic C5 to C35) were below the detection limits for the tests. Detectable levels of all other contaminants were recorded, but these fell below the associated Atrisk Soil Screening Values. Furthermore, no asbestos was detected in any of the samples screened.
On the basis of all the information provided above, it is considered that site is not contaminated with respect to its intended end use.
12.2 Waste Acceptance Criteria
The WAC have been set as maximum limit values which must not be exceeded and should not be viewed as minimum treatment specifications for landfill. The following table has been extracted from the Environment Agency7, and adapted to compare against the chemical test results.

The above information indicates that the representative sample tested can be classified as suitable for inert landfill.
12.3 Site Specific Risk Assessment
The presence of contamination hazards and the risks associated with them should be assessed in accordance with industry practice and the ‘suitable for use’ approach. This has been conducted with reference to The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and The Environment Agency8 advice on the assessment of risks arising from the presence of contamination in soils and using the source-pathway-receptor approach.9 This method dictates that there must be a risk of contaminant produced at a ‘source’ in sufficient concentration to cause harm and there must be a ‘pathway’ for the contaminant to reach an identifiable ‘receptor’ for the linkage to be proved and a contamination hazard to be considered present. Not all substances are contaminants and not all contaminants are considered to be a risk. Indeed DEFRA and The Environment Agency state that ‘a contaminant is a substance which has the potential to cause harm, while a risk itself is
8 R&D Publication CLR 8, ‘Assessment of Risks to Human Health from Land Contamination: An overview of the Development of Soil Guideline Values and Related Research’. 9 The pollution linkage approach was developed by ‘Circular 2/2000 Contaminated Land: Implementation of Part II of The Environmental Protection Act 1990’ which provides meanings for the terms contained in The Environmental Protection Act 1990 Part IIA, the primary legislation for addressing the issues of contaminated land.
Rogers Geotechnical Services Ltd J3440/16/E Phone 0843 50 666 87
9
considered to exist if such a substance is present in sufficient concentration to cause harm and a pathway exists for a receptor to be exposed to the substance.’10
In this case there is no contamination source, thus there is no risk of harm to the site operatives, end user or neighbours. Therefore, a risk assessment and remediation strategy is not required in this instance. It should be appreciated, however, that careful inspection of the subgrade should be made during the groundworks. Should areas of contamination be detected then further testing may become necessary
12.4 General Approach to Construction.
It should also be appreciated that any fill material, either site-won or imported, to be employed at the site should be subjected to the following assessment to determine its suitability.
Fill materials should be initially screened, by a suitably qualified engineer, for the following.
It is a suitable growing medium where is to be employed as such, including compliance with BS3883 (2007)
It is free from obvious contamination i.e. visual or olfactory evidence It has not come from areas where Japanese Knotweed or other invasive or injurious
plants are suspected to be growing It is not a statutory nuisance, such as being odorous It is free from unsuitable material i.e. whole bricks, brick ties, timber or glass.
It should also be appreciated that any fill should be subjected to validation testing to assess its suitability. The following table has been taken from YAHPAC11 documentation and may be used as a guide. Depending on the origin and nature of the material, not all fill will require the sampling frequency and testing indicated, although this should be in agreement with any regulatory bodies (such as the Local Authority).

The screening values for the above regime should also be agreed with any regulatory bodies; however, the following is recommended in the first instance.
10 See ‘Circular 2/2000 Contaminated Land: Implementation of Part II of The Environmental Protection Act 1990’, appendix A. 11 Sampling & Testing Matrix of Yorkshire and Humberside Pollution Advisory Council, 2013, YAHPAC Technical Guidance for Developers, Landowners and Consultants – Verification Requirements for Cover Systems v2.1, Appendix 1a.

Testing should comply with UKAS and MCERTS, where applicable, and undertaken by an accredited laboratory.
Where the material has been derived from a commercial company, certificates or other industry quality protocol compliance i.e. WRAP should be obtained. However, it will be necessary to ensure that this documentation specifically related to the material being imported, it is no more than two months old and complies with the screening and frequency requirements given above.
Suitable fill materials should be either placed immediate or sufficiently quarantined to prevent cross-contamination. If it is necessary, the quarantined material should be placed on appropriate sheeting and covered to prevent it becoming mixed with contaminated soils or dust, or penetrated by mobile contaminants.
13. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER WORK
This report should be forwarded to the relevant authorities as soon as practicable to ensure they have sufficient time to review and discuss any issues.
Discussions with ground work contractors in relation to the requirement for testing of materials to be disposed off-site (Waste Acceptance Criteria) and the suitability of imported materials.
Discussions with service providers regard the materials suitable for pipework etc. Detailed design of the pavement/hardstanding. Design of soakaway drainage.
Clearly Rogers Geotechnical Services Ltd would be happy to offer advice with respect to the above and assist where necessary.
