About the Project

P007: Diamond Reclamation (In Situ Geotechnical and Geophysical surveys for Aboitiz Land Corporation and Diamond Reclamation Corporation)

30 BH. 8 CPT. 8 PS. water depth from 2 to 8m.

Vessel Used: P1, P2 and P3, seabed CPT, Crane Barge La Roche

The scope of work includes soil sampling and in-situ testing, and can be summarized as follows:

  • Drilling of thirty (30) boreholes to 30 to 40 meters depths, with:
    • Undisturbed Sampling;
    • SPT;
    • FVST.

  • In-situ CPT (piezo-cone penetration tests) investigation in eight (8) point locations wherein soil classification and geomechanical properties of soil material in the subsurface will be determined. This specifically involves the following measurement;

    • Cone tip resistance (qc);
    • Sleeve friction (fs);
    • Pore water pressure (u);
    • 16 dissipation tests.
  • In situ PS Suspension Logging in eight (8) boreholes with an individual test every meter:
    • Determining Shear and Compression velocity (Vs and Vp);
    • Deriving Poisson coefficient and dynamic moduli.
  • Laboratory tests on the surface and underground samples;
