demobilization as well as mobilization.

3.2 Borehole drilling

Table 1. The Proposed Core Drilling for DED

(2) Drilling Machine and Equipment

Equipments for the work shall satisfy the requirements for completing the works described in this
TOR and be used under the approval of the Client. The Client will have the right to require
replacement of the equipments whenever it is judged inappropriate. The drilling machine shall be of
hydraulic driven rotary type, with drilling capacity sufficed to drill the required depth.
For borehole survey in river, the Contractor shall establish temporary working platform such as raft
with enough safety.

(3) Termination of the drilling

The planned depth from the ground of boreholes is shown in Table 1. The Contractor shall submit the
daily and weekly report to the Client, the Client will determine the termination of the drilling referring
to the report if necessary. These depths are subject to change by the Client. Drilling will be terminated
with the confirmation of 5m thickness about the base rock or hard soil layer which shows more than
50 N values and the Consultant’s approval.

(4) Field Operation

 Boreholes shall be drilled with appropriate measures for protection of borehole wall as needed.
 The recovered core samples shall be placed in order in core boxes, in the same length of grooves
of the core box as core samples. A part of no core recovery shall be left vacant in the grooves.
Marks shall be put regularly to the grooves to indicate depths of sampling. All core boxes shall be
marked with the borehole number and depth of the section of which the core samples are put in it.
 The core box shall be separated with wooden plates into 1 m-long core each can be stored. After
the core is placed in the box, they shall be color photographed by the Contractor. Necessary notes
such as borehole No. and core depth shall be clearly marked on each core box.

3.3 Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Permeability Test
1) SPT
 The SPT shall be carried out in accordance with ASTM D1586. The equipments shall also be in
compliance with the standards.
 The SPT shall be performed at every 2.0 m intervals except for the depth of undisturbed sampling.
And the samples shall be put into a polyethylene bag to avoid the change of water content.
 Prior to the SPT, the bottom of hole shall be washed as clean as reasonably possible to be free of
cuttings.
 Drive the sampler with blows from the hammer and count the number of blows in each 15 cm
increment. The first set of count of blows is regarded as test and not applied to estimate the N
value. The next two successive blow counts shall be recorded as the N value of the SPT. (Thus,
the N value is equal to N2 + N3, while N1 is not recorded)

2) Permeability Test
Field Permeability test in Soil and Rock
The permeability (k) is a measure of how easily water and other fluids are transmitted through the
geo-material and thus represents a flow property. In addition to groundwater related issues, it is of
particular concern in geo-environmental problems.
• Lugeon test is carried out in rock section of the boreholes for the purpose of evaluation of
leakage risks of the intake weir.
• Constant-head test and/or Falling-head test method could be performed for soil,
unconsolidated deposits, or intensively weathered rock for which a packer cannot be installed
effectively. The constant-head test will be applied for granular soil (sandy soil), meanwhile the
Falling-head test will be applied for cohesive soil (clay-silty soil).
The quantity for permeability test of soil and rock layer is shown in Table 1.
3.4 Undisturbed Sampling
The quantity of Undisturbed sampling is shown in Table 1. Undisturbed sampling for Soil shall be
conducted in accordance with ASTM D 1587 or equivalent. The sampler shall be pushed in at a
constant speed without stopping in the course of the sampler push-in. The sampler shall be sealed with
a rubber packing or paraffin immediately after the characteristics of the soil are observed and recorded.
The sampling for Rock and Hard soil shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM D 2113 or
equivalent.

3.5 Laboratory Test

The Contractor shall carry out the following laboratory soil tests with using the Undisturbed samples
from boreholes. The laboratory tests shall be conducted in compliance with the standards. The
Contractor shall make a test plan including test items and quantity after completing each boreholes,
and get the Client’s approval of it before the execution.
