Project: 21.119 Plot 1a St Johns Way, St Johns Business Estate, Downham Market, PE38 0QQ
Date: 30 April 2021
PRELIMINARY RECORDS
Key:
B Bulk disturbed sample
D Small disturbed sample
ES Environmental sample
U Nominal 100 mm diameter undisturbed open tube sample
X blows The associate figure ‘X’ is the number of blows to drive the sample tube over the given depth range
SPT Standard penetration test using a split spoon sampler. N Value is uncorrected,
but the hammer energy ratio is given where known (in remarks).
IP xx Initial penetration during the SPT recorded in millimetres. If initial penetration
equals or exceeds 450 mm the test is aborted.
S x,x SPT seating drive blow count given by the summation of the blows ‘X’ required to drive the seating length
T x,x,x,x SPT test drive blow count ‘N’ given by the summation of the blows ‘X’ required to drive the seating length (300 mm)
X*Y Incomplete standard penetration test where the seating/test drive could not be
completed. The blows ‘X’ represent the total blows for the given length of
seating drive ‘Y’ (mm)
HV Hand vane test (19mm vane)
PLT Plate load test (455mm plate size)
dd/mm/yy: 1.0
dd/mm/yy: dry
Date, water level at the borehole depth at the end of shift
and the start of the following shift
Each sample type is numbered sequentially with depth and relates to the depth range quoted
All depths and measurements are given in metres, except as noted
Strata descriptions compiled by visual examination of samples obtained after BS 5930:2015+A1:2020
and modified in accordance with laboratory test results where applicable

Remarks
Test results should be interpreted by a qualified Engineer taking into account all relevant factors including overall settlement and the shape of the load-penetration curve.Testing carried out in accordance with BS 1377-9:1990 with determination of parameters as set out in MCHW1 Series 600 & Interim Advice Note 73/06 Revision 1 (2009)
