EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This summary contains an over view of the key findings and conclusions of this report. It is emphasised however that no reliance should be placed on any part of this summary without referring to the relevant sections of the report. These sections within the main body of the report, together with linking laboratory data and plans etc., may contain information which puts into context findings which are highlighted within this summary. Soil Engineering Geoservices Limited were instructed by Arch Henderson LLP (The Engineer) acting for and on behalf of Aberdeen Harbour Board (The Employer), to provide a geotechnical assessment for the proposed new Bay of Nigg Harbour Development at Aberdeen. This assessment in the form of a ground investigation report (GIR) was to be based on the ground investigation also carried out by Soil Engineering between June and November 2013, together with previous borehole information provided by the British Geological Survey. It is proposed to develop Nigg Bay as a new harbour facility with the construction of new breakwaters, quays and a navigation channel and harbour area. The construction of the navigation channel and harbour area will involve dredging of parts of Nigg Bay to reduce its level to approximately -9.0mchart datum with the approach channel at -10.5mchart datum. Nigg Bay is located at the eastern end of St Fittick’s Road, some 6km to the south-east of Aberdeen city centre (centred on approximate National Grid reference NJ 970 046). The site is irregular in shape and comprises the over water and inter tidal area of Nigg Bay between the headlands occupied by Balnagask Golf Course to the north and Loirston Country Park to the south. Geological maps show that the land adjacent to the site is underlain by superficial Pleistocene deposits comprising glacial meltwater deposits (sand and gravels with lenses of silt and clay) and glacial till (clay, sandy clay or sand with a significant gravel, cobble and boulder content). At greater depth, the adjacent land is shown to be underlain by metasedimentary rocks (psammites, semipelites and subsidiary pelites) of the Aberdeen Formation of the Dalradian supergroup of Precambrian age. In the vicinity of the proposed new harbour development only local and limited thicknesses of made ground was encountered beneath the south western corner of the site. A significant and variable thickness of superficial deposits were encountered beneath the site typically comprising medium dense or dense marine granular deposits overlying typically very stiff and hard glacial till strata and very dense glacial granular strata with thicknesses of superficial deposits between not encountered and 38.00m recorded in the exploratory holes. The superficial deposits appear to infill an east west trending valley feature incised into the underlying weak, medium strong and strong Dalradian rock strata. The ground conditions encountered beneath the site appear to be generally favourable for the development. The exploratory holes indicate that the areas where breakwaters are to be constructed are underlain by medium dense, dense and very dense marine granular materials, very stiff and hard glacial till and granitic gneiss rock strata. In the area of the new quay, a similar sequence of superficial strata was encountered with variable thicknesses and type of superficial deposits and rockhead levels encountered. Based on the current borehole information dredging of the new harbour basin and approach channel will excavate marine granular deposits and the underlying glacial till and granular glacial deposits. The concrete design classification for the site is calculated as DS-1 with an ACEC class AC-1.

1.0 INTRODUCTION In June 2013 Soil Engineering Geoservices Limited were instructed by Arch Henderson LLP (The Engineer) acting for and on behalf of Aberdeen Harbour Board (The Employer), to carry out a ground investigation for the Bay of Nigg Harbour Development. The investigation comprised the formation of cable percussive boreholes selectively extended by rotary drilling together with trial pitting, grab sampling, in situ testing and a geophysical magnetometer survey. Most of the work was to be undertaken overwater or within the intertidal area of the bay. This ground investigation report (GIR) comprises the results of the fieldwork and laboratory testing together with an interpretation of the geoenvironmental conditions at the site. The fieldwork was carried out between 5th June and 2nd November 2013. 2.0 PURPOSE, SCOPE AND REPORT FORMAT 2.1 Purpose The purpose of this investigation was to determine the subsurface ground, and groundwater conditions at the site. An interpretative geoenvironmental (GIR) report was also required in order that appropriate material parameters for the design of the proposed structures could be ascertained. 2.2 Scope of Work The brief for this Ground Investigation Report comprised the following items: 1. To form exploratory holes on site. 2. To install gas and ground water monitoring instruments. 3. To monitor on site installations. 4. To undertake laboratory tests scheduled by the Engineer on samples recovered from exploratory

holes. 5. Review and provide a written appraisal of readily available published geotechnical information and

geotechnical and historical information provided by the Engineer 6. Provide a written appraisal of the ground and water conditions 7. Provide analysis and interpretation of factual data for the classification and derivation of design

parameters for each stratum encountered 8. Provide geotechnical engineering assessment The sources of information used in the compilation of this report are detailed in the list of references on page 39. 2.3 Limitations This report has been prepared using the site investigation data and / or desk study / historical information referenced in the report text. Soil Engineering has prepared the report in accordance with the specification and scope of works for this project, which was designed by Arch Henderson LLP together with the relevant European and British Standards. It should be noted that the investigation data on which this report is based is only indicative of the actual ground, groundwater and ground gas conditions that exist at the locations of the exploratory holes and may not be representative of the conditions that exist on the site as a whole. Soil Engineering accept no liability for any adverse geotechnical or environmental impacts on the proposed

development, that result from ground not investigated as part of this project. Similarly, Soil Engineering is not liable for any adverse effects that arise as a result of conditions that exist on land adjacent to the subject site. 2.4 Report Format This report is presented in the following format: • Description of fieldwork • Summary of Desk Study Information • Geotechnical Appraisal, Interpretation and Engineering Assessment • Exploratory hole logs • Laboratory test results • Data Plots and Sections • Maps and plans 2.5 Key Sources of Information • Arch Henderson, Drawing No 121106-01 • BGS 1:50,000 scale geological map for the area, Sheet 77-Scotland, Solid (1982) and Drift (1980)

editions for Aberdeen. • BGS Memoir for the 1:50 000 Sheet 77-Scotland (1986) entitled Geology of the country around

Aberdeen. • British Geological Survey Borehole Data Pack, Ref BH_119433_1, dated 28 October 2013 3.0 DESK STUDY INFORMATION 3.1 Scope of Study A formal comprehensive desk study was not requested or supplied by the Engineer for this investigation. Information from the British Geological Survey on the site geology and historical borehole records for the area was provided by the Engineer and is appended to this report. The following sections provide general details of site location, site description and site geology as ascertained from published maps and memoirs. 3.2 Site Location and Description The site is located at the eastern end of St Fittick’s Road, some 6km to the south-east of Aberdeen city centre (centred on approximate National Grid reference NJ 970 046). The site is irregular in shape and comprises the over water and inter tidal area of Nigg Bay between the headlands occupied by Balnagask Golf Course to the north and Loirston country park to the south. The site is bounded by the two aforementioned headlands/golf courses to the north and south, by rough ground, pasture land and the Nigg Bay Waste Water treatment plant to the west and by the North Sea to the east. A road (Coast Road and Greyhope Road) approximately bounds the northern, western and south-eastern edges of the site. The site is currently unoccupied and comprises Nigg Bay, an area of tidal open seawater, as well as the bounding intertidal areas comprising open sand, roughly vegetated areas as well as exposed rock headland. The site is located in a predominantly semi-rural coastal area to the south east of Aberdeen with the mouth of the River Dee and Aberdeen harbour located approximately 1km to the north of the site to the north of the bounding northern headland.

The site has a complex relief with elevated headland areas to the north and south, a lower lying area to the east and the bay topography generally sloping towards the centre of the bay and out to sea. The location of the site is indicated on Figure 1 in Section C of this report. 3.3 Site History No information on the history of the site was provided by the Engineer. 3.4 Geology The 1:50,000 scale Geological Survey map for the area, sheet 77-(Scotland) for Aberdeen, Solid (1982) and Drift (1980) editions, shows the land adjacent to the site to be underlain by Pleistocene deposits comprising glacial meltwater deposits (sand and gravels with lenses of silt and clay) and glacial till (clay, sandy clay or sand with a significant gravel, cobble and boulder content). The map also records a glacial melt water channel as entering the bay from the south. At greater depth, the adjacent land is shown to be underlain by metasedimentary rocks (psammites, semipelites and subsidiary pelites) of the Aberdeen Formation of the Dalradian supergroup of Precambrian age. Subsidiary discordant sheets of amphibolite and hornblende schist are also recorded. The map records outcrops of Dalradian rock strata underlying the Pleistocene deposits on the headlands to the north and south of the site. The map also records foliation and banding within the Dalradian strata as dipping to the north-west and north-east with dips between 45° and 90° recorded. The nearest faulting is recorded as the north-east south-west trending Dee Fault which is recorded approximately 1.5km to the north west of the centre of the site. Further information on the superficial deposits is contained within the geological maps and information in the British Geological Survey Borehole Data Pack, Ref BH_119433_1, dated 28 October 2013 (presented in the appendix to this report). This records a variable sequence of glacial sand and gravel deposits overlying glacial till on both headlands to the north and south of Nigg Bay. Alluvium is recorded infilling the shallow valley behind the bay and a sequence of marine beach deposits is recorded lining the shore of the bay. Information from the BGS geological memoir for the area (BGS Memoir for the 1:50 000 Sheet 77-Scotland (1986) entitled Geology of the country around Aberdeen) indicates that the bay area is underlain by silts, sands and gravels classified by the BGS as marine beach deposits of Quaternary age. The memoir also records raised beach deposits in the Aberdeen area sometimes with associated deposits of peat. Nigg Bay is recorded by the memoir as being underlain by an infilled former glacial melt out channel and possible former course of the River Dee. The memoir records that boreholes drilled within the bay indicate anomalous drift depths associated with a buried channel and glacial deposits underlying more recent marine beach deposits. The buried channel is recorded as being infilled with glacial (largely till) deposits with a thickness of 30m noted from boreholes. Geophysical surveys mentioned in the memoir indicate that the channel may extend at least 1km out to sea and the publication speculates that the channel may be a subglacial or pre Devensian feature. The glacial tills in the Aberdeen area are noted by the memoir to be variable with at least three till units noted. The memoir suggests lodgement, melt-out and flow till origins for individual till units with the melt-out and flow till units typically being more granular in nature and with all types of till containing coarse granular materials. The memoirs record significant weathering of rock to depths of up to 20m in the Aberdeen area with the psammites being less prone to weathering than other types of rock however the weathering is noted to be variable and difficult to predict. This deep weathering is thought to be associated with relatively warm interglacial periods that occurred during the last glaciation and preceding this, during the Tertiary period. The Dalradian rocks are interpreted as sedimentary rocks altered by low grade metamorphism and the amphibolite and hornblende schist is thought to represent metamorphosed basic igneous intrusions.

This investigation produced an isopach map of rockhead depths in Nigg Bay area and opposite the adjacent headlands based on the results of the sonar survey. Although quite variable, the general pattern indicated is for rockhead depths to gradually increase out to sea opposite the headland areas (depths between 14.0m and 26.0m below chart datum are indicated approximately 500m out from the headlands). In the central part of the bay, a roughly east-west trending channel with a width of approximately 200m to 300m is indicated. In the area of Nigg Bay rockhead depths are indicated to increase away from the headlands towards the centre of the channel however, the channel appears to have relatively steep sides in some areas and local plateau areas indicated to either side of this. Although the base of the channel is indicated to be relatively level, an uneven and undulating local topography is indicated. The channel is also indicated to gradually increase in depth out to sea (with rock head depths increasing from 14.0m to in excess of 40.0m below chart datum indicated). The Engineer supplied a British Geological Survey (BGS) Borehole Data Pack, Ref BH_119433_1, dated 28 October 2013 containing a description of the geology of the area and also database records for twelve exploratory holes undertaken within Nigg Bay and the surrounding vicinity principally for the Aberdeen Sea Outfall. The boreholes were mainly drilled in the bay area, along the southern headland (Greg Ness) and out to sea from this. A summary of the strata and ground water encountered in these records together with key in situ testing results are summarised in the following tables. For further detailed information, reference should be made to Section 7.2 and to the full report, which is listed on page 39 of this report.

Table 1 indicates that seven main material types were identified during the various investigations. The table also indicates the variability of the superficial materials encountered around the edge of Nigg Bay and especially along the northern edge of the Greg Ness headland where they principally comprise variable granular and cohesive glacial deposits. On the tip of the headland itself, rock was encountered at shallow depth with superficial deposits thickening to the east of this towards Nigg Bay. Two boreholes within these investigations proved granite and gneiss bedrock to depths in excess of 60.00m. Limited ground water data was obtained during the various investigations contained in the BGS report. These are summarised in Table 2.

Limited in situ testing was undertaken during the various investigations contained in the BGS report. This is summarised in Table 3 and comprised standard penetration testing. 4.0 FIELDWORK 4.1 Scope of Fieldwork The scope of the fieldwork was specified by the Engineer and was undertaken in general accordance with Eurocode 7 Part 2 (BS EN 1997-2: 2007) and where there is no conflict also with BS 5930: 1999 + A2: 2010. Soil and rock logging has been undertaken in accordance with the relevant European Standards, listed in the references for this report. Soil Engineering had responsibility for setting out and surveying all exploratory holes while the Engineer had responsibility for determining the in situ testing and sampling regime. Cable percussion boreholes selectively extended by rotary drilling were formed together with mechanically excavated trial pits, seabed and magnetometer surveys and grab sampling. The exploratory hole locations are shown on the site plan presented in Section C of this report.

4.2 Magnetometer Survey A detailed marine magnetometer survey was undertaken by Coastline Surveys Limited in June 2013. The results of the survey show thirty-three targets with magnetic signature significantly above background levels. For further information, reference should be made to the full survey report, included as an appendix to this report. 4.3 Inspection Pits In order to reduce the risk of damaging buried services, the location of exploratory hole L01 was scanned using a cable avoidance tool (CAT). As a further precaution, an inspection pit was hand excavated to a depth of 1.20m, followed by a further scan of the base of the pit with the CAT. Inspection pits were not excavated for the remaining boreholes, as they were formed overwater from a jack-up platform. 4.4 Cable Percussion Boreholes A total of forty-nine over-water boreholes and a single land based borehole were formed to depths between 0.10m and 10.40m using conventional light cable percussion techniques together with 200mm and 150mm diameter temporary steel casings. The boreholes were all formed in order to obtain samples for laboratory testing and to provide geotechnical information for foundation design. In granular materials, cohesive materials and rock Standard Penetration Tests were carried out using either a split spoon sampler or a solid 60o cone. The results of these tests are given as a Standard Penetration “N” value or as a blow count for a given penetration at the appropriate position on the borehole logs, where the use of either the sampler or cone is also recorded. Representative disturbed samples of all materials encountered were obtained and these were placed in sealed containers for transport to the laboratory. Where appropriate / required, environmental samples were obtained for chemical testing. The samples recovered from the boreholes were described by an Engineering Geologist, in accordance with the terminology presented in Appendix 1 of this report. A detailed description of all strata encountered, groundwater conditions and the position and type of samples taken are included on the borehole logs presented in Section A of this report. 4.5 Rotary Drilling In order to obtain information on the solid geology beneath the site and/or where the stiffness of the cohesive material and presence of coarse granular material prevented the progression of the cable percussion drilling, boreholes were extended using rotary drilling techniques. These boreholes were extended to depths between 4.00m and 40.00m, using a combination of SWF, Geobore S or T6116 core barrels together with a protective semi rigid plastic liner and a Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) or Diamond Impregnated (Impreg) core bit with water flush to produce cores of 107, 102 or 89mm nominal diameter respectively. Details of the strata encountered are given on the borehole logs along with the Engineering Geologist’s assessment of Total Core Recovery (TCR), Solid Core Recovery (SCR), and Rock Quality Designation (RQD) each expressed as a percentage of the individual core runs. Where applicable a fracture spacing (If) has also

been determined and this information is given on the logs. The symbols and abbreviations used on the rotary borehole logs are explained on the exploratory hole log legend and notation sheet presented in Section A of this report. The core samples recovered were photographed and described by an Engineering Geologist in accordance with the terminology presented in Appendix 1 of this report. Where suitable, sub-samples of the cored superficial deposits were taken. These sub-samples were sealed in wax to prevent moisture loss and transported to the Leeds laboratory of Soil Engineering for geotechnical testing. The borehole logs are presented in Section A of this report and photographic records are presented in Section D of this report. 4.6 Grab Sampling In order to establish contamination levels for proposed dredged material, twenty-six grab samples were undertaken using a Van Veen grab sampler. The recovered samples were described by an Engineering Geologist and the descriptions of the samples recovered are shown on the relevant logs presented in Section A of this report. 4.7 Trial Pits Eighteen trial pits designated TP01 to TP18 inclusive were excavated using a 20 tonne tracked excavator to depths between 1.70m and 4.40m. The pits were located around the inter-tidal foreshore of the site to provide a reasonable indication of the presence of any made ground and in particular to assess the mass soil fabric of the near surface natural deposits. The trial pits were not shored and were logged from the surface by an Engineering Geologist. The Engineering Geologist provided a detailed description of the ground conditions encountered in each pit and also obtained disturbed soil samples at regular intervals for geotechnical analysis. The strata encountered in the trial pits are described on the trial pit logs presented in Section A of this report and the location of each of the trial pits is indicated on the site plan presented in Section C of this report. Trial pit photographs are included in Section D of this report. 5.0 LABORATORY TESTING 5.1 Scope of Testing All geotechnical (soils) and chemical (contamination) testing was scheduled by the Engineer. The scope of the testing was required to enable comments regarding the dredgability of overburden and rock and the suitability of soil and rock for construction of quay walls and breakwaters to be made and for potential site contamination levels to be established. 5.2 Geotechnical Soils Testing The programme of laboratory testing was carried out in accordance with BS 1377. The testing was carried out at the Leeds laboratory of Soil Engineering, a UKAS accredited testing laboratory No 1265. Results are given on the summary sheets with individual test plots presented in Section B of this report. In addition, chemical (sulfate and pH) testing was undertaken by SAL, a UKAS accredited testing laboratory No. 1549. Testing was undertaken in order to assess concrete requirements from BRE Special Digest No 1. Samples were prepared in general accordance with BS 1377, although final analysis of total sulfate was

performed using ICP and aqueous extract using Ion Chromatography. 5.3 Geotechnical Rock Testing In order to provide an indication of the strength of the rock encountered, point load testing and unconfined compressive strength testing was undertaken on selected core samples. These tests were performed in accordance with the specifications indicated on the individual test plots. Results are presented in Section B of this report. 5.4 Environmental Testing A programme of environmental testing was scheduled on the samples recovered utilising the Van Veen grab sampler. Testing was carried out by SAL, a UKAS accredited testing laboratory No. 1549. Testing was carried out in accordance with the methods identified in the test reports. The results of the environmental testing are presented in Section B of this report.

6.0 SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION 6.1 Scope of Commentary The results of this investigation appear to conflict to some extent with the published geology summarised in Section 3.3 of this report but generally agreed with the findings of the previous investigations carried out on this site and referenced in Section 3.4 of this report. Although the superficial deposits were as predicted by the published geological information, the solid geology differed to some extent for the published records. The following sections are only intended to provide a summary of the ground conditions encountered during this investigation whilst the logs presented in Section A of this report give detailed descriptions of all the strata observed. 6.2 Made Ground Made ground typically between 0.60m and 3.70m in thickness was only encountered in trial pits TP08 and TP10 to TP15 inclusive in the south western corner of the bay. The made ground was generally seen to comprise a granular mix of coarse and very coarse materials comprising a variable mix of sand and gravel, cobble and boulder sized fragments of metamorphic rock, igneous rock, concrete, tarmac, brick, plastic pipe, packaging and metal. Other materials were also identified including wood fragments, cast iron pipe pieces and polystyrene. 6.3 Superficial Deposits Underlying any made ground, topsoil or at ground/seabed level, a variable sequence of sand, sand and gravel, cobbles, boulders, and variably sandy variably gravelly clay with cobbles and boulders was encountered. The sequence typically comprised an upper principally granular formation of marine deposits comprising a variable mix of sand, gravel, cobbles and boulders underlain by glacial deposits comprising variably sandy variably gravelly clay with cobbles and boulders with interbedded granular materials comprising sand, gravel, cobbles and boulders. Two distinct units were noted within the upper marine granular formation with both being discontinuous and not encountered in all exploratory holes. Typically, the uppermost unit comprised a fine to coarse sand with varying fine gravel, silt and cobble content. This unit was encountered in the majority of the boreholes to depths between 0.20m and 10.10m below bed level and typically increased in thickness towards the mouth of Nigg Bay. This unit was locally underlain by a unit of very coarse material typically comprising cobbles and boulders of mixed igneous and metamorphic lithologies with a sand and gravel matrix. It was noted that the coarse granular deposit was more prevalent in the intertidal and foreshore areas especially in the north western quadrant of the bay to the south of the Girdle Ness headland while towards the centre of the bay the unit thins and in this area sometimes comprises isolated cobbles and boulders. Underlying the upper marine granular formation glacial deposits comprising till with subsidiary granular materials and/or bedrock was encountered. The glacial deposits, where present, were seen to principally comprise units of glacial till generally consisting of brown or greyish brown, stiff, very stiff and hard clay with varying sand, gravel, cobble and boulder content. Localised variation in the clay included a reddish brown clay layer within this stratum. The glacial till strata also contained variable granular units comprising sand and gravel often with a significant cobble and boulder content. The glacial deposits were noted to be very variable in thickness with thicknesses in excess of 25.00m noted along a roughly east-west trending axis running through the centre of the bay. 6.4 Dalradian Rock Strata The depth to rockhead was very variable across the site. Rock was encountered at ground/bed level or at

shallow depth adjacent to the headlands but depths to rockhead in excess of 30.00m were recorded in exploratory holes drilled along a roughly east-west trending axis running through the centre of the bay. The topography of the buried valley as illustrated by varying rockhead levels in boreholes appears to be quite complex with plateau areas and areas of steeply sloping ground indicated (e.g. between boreholes A31 and A34). Twenty-eight boreholes were extended into rock in order to assess the solid geology. These boreholes encountered a banded granitic gneiss, comprising of interbanded units of micaceous schist, gneiss and coarse grained granitic materials frequently in thin to thickly banded units. The granitic gneiss was proved to a maximum depth of 40.00m in borehole A05. The rock appeared to be variably weathered and typically appeared to be slightly or moderately weathered but also contained weaker moderately and highly weathered strata. The distribution of the weathered material between boreholes appeared to follow no set pattern and was very variable. A summary of the ground conditions encountered during this investigation is presented as Tables 4, 5, 6 and 7. Additional information on the ground conditions is available from the British Geological Survey Borehole Data Pack and a summary of this information is given in Table 1.

The information obtained from all the investigations undertaken on the site has been summarised in a simplified form in Table 8. This table provides the main stratum types together with their depth ranges and a general description of the material composition. 6.5 Groundwater During the investigation, minor ground water inflows were recorded in most of the exploratory holes formed on land at depths in the range 0.00m to 3.10m below ground level. The majority of the inflows were recorded within the made ground and granular superficial deposits but inflows were also recorded within the clay and rock strata. The majority of these inflows were recorded as seepages or minor inflows.

6.6 Summary The strata encountered in the various exploratory holes formed on or adjacent to this site are summarised in tables 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Table 8 describes the general sequence of strata encountered on the site. These tables illustrate the variability of the sequence across the site. An inspection of the exploratory holes and the strata they encountered in relation to their location on the site generally confirms the findings of the geophysics bathometric survey and previous geological information in relation to the location of the infilled buried valley beneath Nigg Bay. The investigation confirmed the geological information that the buried valley is, to the depths investigated, infilled principally with glaciogenic materials (glacial till and granular deposits). These are overlain by a predominantly granular sequence of marine deposits that generally appear to thicken towards the mouth of the bay.

7.0 GEOTECHNCIAL PARAMETRIC ASSESSMENT 7.1 General Comment The data obtained during both the current investigation has been used in the parametric assessment and material geotechnical parameters are given in the following sections. It should be noted that the geotechnical parameters detailed in Section 7 are based on a general assessment of the data. The values stated should be reviewed by the designer and specific characteristic values determined in order to make them applicable to the individual design requirements. 7.2 Soil Classification 7.2.1 Moisture Content and Atterberg Limits Moisture content testing and Atterberg Limits testing was undertaken on the glacial till deposits. The natural moisture content test results obtained from these deposits are summarised in Table 9 below. TABLE 9: SUMMARY OF MOSITURE CONTENT TEST RESULTS FROM SOIL ENGINEERING 2013 INVESTIGATION

A plot of moisture content against depth is presented in Figure 1 in Section E of this report. The plot illustrates the relatively low and consistent moisture content of the glacial till which shows little variation with depth apart from slightly elevated values near its top. Three Atterberg Limits tests were performed on potentially cohesive samples taken from the marine deposits. Both of the test results indicate that the material tested is non-plastic. The results of the Atterberg Limits testing on marine deposits are shown in Table 10.

Twenty-nine Atterberg Limits tests were performed on samples taken from the glacial till. The majority of the test results indicate that the material tested is clay, with only one sample classifying as non-plastic. The plasticity of the samples is relatively consistent with the classification on the A line plot which is shown as Figure 2 in Section E, indicating that the material is of low plasticity (86% of the till samples tested) but with a few samples of intermediate and high plasticity also determined and with most of the test results

The results of the Atterberg Limits testing on Marine Alluvium are shown in Table 11.

Based on these results a moderately conservative value of 15% has been adopted for the Plasticity Index in glacial till. 7.2.2 Particle size Distribution Eighty seven particle size distribution tests were carried out on selected samples from the marine deposits, thirty eight tests were undertaken on the glacial till and six tests were undertaken on made ground and the results are presented in Figures 4, 5, and 6 in Section E of this report. The samples from the glacial till deposits generally classify as being slightly gravelly sandy clays with a variable content of very coarse material with seven samples classifying as slightly sandy slightly gravelly clays, three samples classifying as slightly sandy gravely clays and one sample classifying as slightly sandy clay all with a variable content of very coarse material. The fines content of this material indicates that it is on the borderline of cohesive and granular. The earthworks classification of the glacial till has been assessed in accordance with the Highway Agency Specification Series 600. The particle size distribution curves for the tests undertaken on the glacial till are plotted in Figure 6 in Section E of this report, with the material class envelopes for Class 2C - Stony Cohesive Fill shown as a black solid line. Results indicate that the samples of the glacial till generally fall within the Class 2C envelope. Eighty-seven particle size distribution tests were carried out on selected samples from the marine deposits and the results are presented in Figure 5 in Section E of this report. The majority of samples classify as a slightly silty or silty variably gravelly sand with only four samples classifying as very clayey variably gravelly sand and eight samples classifying as variably clayey variably sandy gravel or sand and gravel. It is noted that some of these strata had a significant content of very coarse material and the very coarse marine deposits noted in Section 6 were generally not tested because of the difficulty of sampling this stratum. The earthworks classification of the marine deposits has been assessed in accordance with the Highway Agency Specification Series 600. The particle size distribution curves for the tests undertaken on the marine deposits are plotted in Figure 5 in Section E of this report, with the material class envelopes for Class 1 - General Granular Fill shown as a black solid line. Results indicate that the samples of the sand marine deposits tested generally fall within the Class 1 envelope and may also be suitable as Class 6 for fill to structures. Six particle size distribution tests were carried out on selected samples from the made ground deposits and the results are presented in Figure 4 in Section E of this report. The plot demonstrates the generally granular nature of this material with the majority of samples classify as a slightly silty or silty sandy or very sandy gravel with a low to medium content of very coarse material.

7.3 Earthworks Classification Laboratory determinations of California bearing Ratio (CBR) tests were carried out on two samples of remoulded material from beds of clay encountered within the marine sand deposits. The tests were performed on samples from depths between 1.00m and 1.50m below existing ground level obtained on land while trial pitting. Results of these tests are shown in Table 12.

These results indicate that based on the results of laboratory testing a conservative value of 1% is recommended for the marine sand deposits encountered on land. Although a higher California Bearing Ratio value could reasonably be anticipated for the granular materials within this unit, the lower bound 1% value is proposed because of the weak clay units within this stratum. 7.4 Shear Strength Parameters 7.4.1 Triaxial Tests A total of thirty-eight total stress undrained triaxial tests were performed on the glacial till encountered within the exploratory holes. Single stage tests were performed and these yielded value of undrained shear strength (Cu). A summary of the test results obtained for the three material types is given in Table 13.

All of the test results are shown on Figure 7 in Section E of this report in which they are plotted against depth. The trend within the glacial till shows little variation with depth and the results show considerable variability. From the triaxial test data, a moderately conservative undrained shear strength of 260kPa is considered appropriate to the glacial till. In terms of Eurocode EC7, the parameters detailed above are for moderately conservative large volume assessments of strength. Other strength assessments for instance for local failure conditions are also detailed on Figure 7. 7.4.2 Standard Penetration Test Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were carried out in all of the boreholes and window sampler holes. The undrained shear strength of the cohesive materials tested has been estimated using the relationship developed by Stroud, where: Cu = f1 x SPT N60 value The value of f1 is dependent on the Plasticity Index (Ip). By using the moderately conservative Plasticity Index of 15% for the glacial till a moderately conservative value of f1 = 5.0 has been derived.

Results from one hundred and ninety eight SPT N60 values in the glacial till are plotted against depth in Figure 8 in Section E of this report and suggest that the majority of the material is typically in the very high and extremely high strength category with shear strengths varying from 175kPa to in excess of 750kPa. As with the triaxial testing the results show little trend with depth and a considerable variation in values. Based on these results a moderately conservative assessment of undrained shear strength of 350kPa has been derived. In terms of Eurocode EC7, the parameters detailed above are for moderately conservative large volume assessments of strength. Other strength assessments, for instance, for local failure are also detailed in Figure 8. 7.4.2 Effective Stress Shear Strength Parameters A total of three consolidated undrained triaxial compression test with pore water pressure measurement was performed on the glacial till materials encountered within the exploratory holes. Multistage tests were performed and these yielded value of effective cohesion c’ and effective angle of shearing resistance Ø’. A summary of the test results obtained for the glacial till deposits is given in table 14.

Multistage small shear box tests were performed to record peak shear strength parameters and these yielded value of peak cohesion c’ and peak angle of shearing resistance Ø’. On three tests, residual values were also determined. A summary of the test results obtained for the creek deposits is given in table 15.

7.5.2 Standard Penetration Testing The results of one hundred and seventy two Standard Penetration Tests normalised to 60% trip hammer energy ratio (N60) undertaken within the marine deposits ranged from N60 = 3 to N60 = 129 (upper value extrapolated) with these values generally falling in the medium dense, dense and very dense categories. The results are plotted against depth in Figure 9 in Section E of this report and based on these results a moderately conservative design line of N60 = 24 at 0.50mdepth increasing to N60 = 90 at 9.50mdepth has been adopted for these data. The SPT N60 values for the marine deposits are plotted against vertical effective stress in Figure 10 in Section E of this report together with curves generated by Mitchell for angles of internal friction. The results detailed on this plot should be treated with caution because of the relatively low values of effective stress encountered however based on these results an effective angle of shearing resistance of 42º is assessed for the marine sand deposits from this testing. The results of nine Standard Penetration Tests normalised to 60% trip hammer energy ratio (N60) undertaken within the granular glacial deposits ranged from N60 = 43 to N60 = 117 (upper value extrapolated) with these values falling in the dense and very dense categories. The results are plotted against depth in Figure 11 in Section E of this report and based on these results a conservative local design value of N60 = 50 has been adopted for these data because of the low number of test results. Based on these results an effective angle of shearing resistance of 45º is assessed for these deposits. In terms of Eurocode EC7, the parameters detailed above are for moderately conservative large volume assessments of relative density. Other strength assessments, for instance, for local failure are also detailed on Figure 9. 7.6 Consolidation Parameters No odometer or Row cell (consolidation) tests were performed on samples because the coarse granular material encountered within the glacial till prevented compliant testing. Five consolidation test results obtained from effective stress testing during consolidation yielded an mvi value in the range 0.04 m2/MN 0.09 m2/MN with an average of 0.07 m2/MN over an appropriate stress range. The modulus of volume compressibility mv of the cohesive materials tested has been estimated from SPT data using the relationship developed by Stroud, where: mv = 1 / f2 x SPT N60 value The value of f2 is dependent on the Plasticity Index (Ip). By using the moderately conservative Plasticity Index of 15% for the glacial till a moderately conservative value of f1 = 0.5 has been derived. The results of SPT testing detailed in Figure 8 in Section E of this report indicates that compressibility values do not vary

much with depth. For the glacial till a moderately conservative design value of mv = 0.04 m²/ MN has been adopted for design. A summary of adopted design values is given in Table 16.

The results are relatively consistent and show little variance indicating a relatively consistent mineralogy of the sand in the marine deposits. 7.7.2 Bulk Density Bulk density testing was undertaken on forty-three samples from the Glacial Till. In all cases the test values were derived as part of triaxial and odometer testing. Table 18 summarises the results of bulk density testing and values of laboratory determined bulk density are plotted against depth for all samples tested in Figure 12 in Section E of this report. Figure 12 demonstrates the high and relatively consistent bulk density of the glacial till which appears to vary little but shows a slight decrease in density over the depth interval assessed.

A plot of rock moisture content against depth is presented in Figure 13 in Section E of this report. The plot illustrates the relatively low and consistent moisture content of the granitic gneiss strata which shows little variation with depth but is quite variable. 7.8.2 Point Load Tests Point Load testing was performed on a number of rock core samples of both the weathered and less weathered granitic gneiss. One hundred and ninety four tests were performed on weathered granitic gneiss and seven hundred and thirty four on the less weathered granitic gneiss. The results of these tests are shown in Table 21. Plots of point load Is50 verses depth and elevation for the samples tested are presented in Figure 14 and Figure 15 respectively. Values in both plots show little variation with depth/elevation but a considerable variation in values indicating there is little topographic variation in rock strength but a large variation in the strength properties of the rock mass.

The proposed development will include the construction of new breakwaters, quays and a navigation channel and harbour area. The construction of the navigation channel and harbour area will involve dredging of parts of Nigg Bay to reduce its level. Two breakwaters constructed of quarried rock materials are to be constructed to enclose the bay. The northern breakwater is indicated to run roughly north - south and extend from the end of Girdle Ness headland with a crest level of 11.5m (chart datum) indicated. Breakwater heights from seabed of approximately 17.0m to 18.0m are indicated with the width of the crest indicated at 14.7m and the breakwater flanks indicated at an inclination id 1.33 horizontal to 1 vertical. The southern breakwater is indicated to run roughly south west - north east and extend from the end of the Greg Ness headland with a crest level of 12.3m (chart datum) indicated. For this breakwater, heights from seabed of approximately 21.8m to 24.8m are indicated with the width of the crest indicated at between 14.4m and 16.5m and the breakwater flanks indicated at an inclination id 1.33 horizontal to 1 vertical. The approach channel running between the breakwaters is indicated to have a level of -10.5m chart datum and this links into the roughly circular main harbour basin behind the breakwaters with a base level of -9.0m indicated. For the quay and harbour side a concrete deck supported by precast concrete beam units with a level of +6.5m chart datum is indicated. The drawing also indicates steel tubular piles are proposed to support the deck. 8.2 Site Conditions A description of the site location, its condition, and general environs has already been given in section 3.2 of this report. It is considered however that the following factors noted during the site works or taken from the desk study report prepared by the Engineer and in a site check type report prepared by and supplied by the Employer may be of engineering and environmental significance with regard to the proposed development. A walkover survey carried out by the site engineering geologist noted that the site comprised a wide bay area between two rock headlands. Rock comprising fractured granitic gneiss was noted on both headlands and on the northern headland, some evidence of superficial deposits overlying this can also be seen in the cliff section. Rock was seen at the end of the southern headland and a distinct contact between granitic gneiss and glacial superficial deposits can be seen in the south western corner of the bay. To the west of this contact, a large section of glacial superficial deposits can be seen in the cliff face that appear to extend all the way to beach level. The western end of the bay comprised a sloping sand, gravel and cobble beach backed by the coastal road and open grassland. At the southern end of the beach, a level area backing onto the cliff behind is evident with some evidence of bituminous surfacing exposed at its top and blocks of concrete and brick and other man made materials noted in exposed and eroded materials. Historical exploratory hole data noted in Section 3.6 of this report confirm the rapid thickening of superficial deposits behind the Greg Ness headland to the north west of the soil rock contact noted in the preceding paragraph in the south western corner of the bay. It is also noted that the borehole from the historical information drilled in Nigg Bay (borehole NJ90SESE7807 7) recorded a considerable thickness of glacial silt overlying bedrock and this information is at variance with all the data from this current

investigation. 8.3 Summary of Subsurface Conditions The ground conditions encountered in the exploratory holes have been described in section 6.0 of this report. Within this section, however the general stratigraphy encountered during the investigation is reviewed, the engineering significance of individual strata is discussed and design information is summarised. Any particular problem areas are also highlighted. A variable and in places thick sequence of superficial deposits infilling a buried valley and overlying metamorphic rock strata was encountered by the investigation. Cross sections of borehole data presented as Figures 18 to 26 inclusive in Section E of this report demonstrate the buried valley topography of the soil rock contact. A reasonably well defined sequence of predominantly granular marine deposits overlying typically cohesive glacial deposits that infill a buried valley incised into the underlying granitic gneiss bedrock is indicated by the current boreholes. The strata encountered in these exploratory holes are also summarised in Tables 4, 5, 6 and 7 in Section 6 of the report. The made ground encountered was very limited in extent and was only encountered in trial pits dug in the south western corner of the bay with thicknesses between 2.60m and in excess of 3.70m recorded. The made ground appears to be largely inert comprising predominantly granular materials with a variable mix of sand and gravel, cobble and boulder sized fragments of metamorphic rock, igneous rock, concrete, tarmac, brick, plastic pipe, packaging and metal observed. Two distinct units were noted within the upper marine granular formation with both being discontinuous and not encountered in all exploratory holes drilled around the bay. Typically, the uppermost unit comprised a fine to coarse sand with varying fine gravel, silt and cobble content and this locally overlies a variable sequence of very coarse material comprising a mix of sand, gravel, cobbles and boulders. The marine sand deposits were encountered in most boreholes drilled in the bay but were variable in thickness. This stratum typically exceeded 4.00m in the mouth of the bay (beneath the ends of both breakwaters) and decreased in thickness towards the beach and headlands as illustrated by cross sections B-B, C-C and G-G. The strata comprised units of generally well sorted fine to coarse sand with varying fine gravel, silt and cobble content. In situ test and laboratory test data associated with the marine sand deposits are summarised and discussed in Section 7 while Figures 5, 9 and 10 presented in Section E of this report provide summary plots of in situ and laboratory test data for the stratum. Based on this information a moderately conservative design SPT ‘’N60’’ value of N60 = 24 at 0.50m depth increasing to N60 = 90 at 9.50m is assessed for design where large volumes of this material are affected. Based on SPT results and the results of shear box testing an effective angle of shearing resistance of 40º and a critical state angle of shearing resistance of 32º is assessed with effective cohesion of 0kPa in both cases. The very coarse marine deposits were mainly encountered in boreholes drilled in the northern and north western parts of the bay to the south of the Girdle Ness Headland. This stratum was very variable in thickness as illustrated by sections B-B, C-C, E-E and F-F. The stratum was principally granular typically comprising cobbles and boulders of mixed igneous and metamorphic lithologies with a sand and gravel matrix. In situ SPT testing in this stratum was largely ineffective as tests refused on cobble and boulder obstructions and similarly sampling of this material proved difficult. Consequently, a conservative effective angle of shearing resistance of 35 º is proposed for this material. In all of the boreholes and trial pits that fully penetrated the marine deposits these strata were underlain by glacial till, glacial granular deposits and/or rock. The glacial till and glacial granular strata varied considerably in thickness as illustrated by sections B-B, C-C, and D-D and these sections illustrate that the buried valley feature has been principally infilled with glacial deposits. The glacial till lithology comprised

the predominant material for these deposits with the granular materials generally interlensed with the glacial till. The top of the glacial deposits where present was recorded at depths between 0.40m and 13.00m below ground level and the strata was proved to depths of up to 38.00m below ground level in the exploratory holes and probes undertaken. The glacial till material comprised very stiff and hard brown or greyish brown clay with varying sand, gravel, cobble and boulder content. Figure 6 illustrates the variable fines content of this material and in some cases the material analysed appears to be borderline cohesive/granular. This is also illustrated by Figure 2 which shows the till to be of generally low plasticity. In situ test and laboratory test data associated with the glacial till are summarised and discussed in Section 7 while Figures 3 to 3 inclusive, 6, to 8 inclusive and 12 presented in Section E of this report provide summary plots of in situ and laboratory test data for the stratum. Based on this information, a moderately conservative design undrained shear strength of 300 kPa is assessed with undrained shear strength appearing to vary little with depth. A preliminary design compressibility of mv = 0.04 MN/m² is also assessed for the glacial till with little variation with depth indicated from in situ testing. The above values are assessed for structural design and should not be applied to an assessment of the excavatability of this stratum. To evaluate this all of the data presented in Figures 6 to 8 inclusive should be assessed. The granular glacial material comprised variable granular units of sand and gravel often with a significant cobble and boulder content. In situ test and laboratory test data associated with the glacial granular deposits are summarised and discussed in Section 7 while Figures 6 and 11 presented in Section E of this report provide summary plots of in situ and laboratory test data for the stratum. Based on this information a moderately conservative design value of N60 = 50 has been adopted for these data because of the low number of test results. Based on these results an effective angle of shearing resistance of 45º is assessed for these deposits is assessed for design where large volumes of this material are affected and a critical state angle of shearing resistance of 36º is assessed with effective cohesion of 0kPa in both cases. In all boreholes that fully penetrated the made ground and superficial deposits rock comprising granitic gneiss was encountered. As previously noted rockhead depths were very variable and pick out an east - west trending valley running beneath Nigg Bay. This is illustrated by cross sections A-A to G-G inclusive presented in Section E of this report. The lithology if the banded granitic gneiss varied on a relatively small scale with this material comprising of interbanded units of micaceous schist, gneiss and coarse grained granitic materials frequently in thin to thickly banded units. The rock appeared to be variably weathered and typically appeared to be slightly or moderately weathered but also contained weaker moderately and highly weathered strata. The distribution of the weathered material between boreholes appeared to follow no set pattern and was very variable. In situ test and laboratory test data associated with the granitic gneiss are summarised and discussed in Section 7 while Figures 13 to 17 inclusive presented in Section E of this report provide summary plots of in situ and laboratory test data for the stratum. These plots indicate a considerable variation in unconfined compressive strength and point load test results with values showing little trend with depth or elevation indicating strength variations within the rock mass are on a local rather than a site wide scale. During laboratory testing point load testing was undertaken on a few of the same samples selected for UCS testing in order to establish a site correlation between the two strength parameters and the results of this testing is detailed in Figure 18. Based on this testing a site correlation of UCS = 10.7 Is50 MPa was derived. Based on this correlation the results of point load testing were converted to equivalent unconfined compressive strength values and a composite plot of laboratory UCS and derived point load UCS against depth is presented in Figure 19. When analysing point load test data for this plot only sets of 10 tests have been included and the average value excluding the two highest and lowest Is50 values has been calculated. For the less weathered granitic gneiss strata based on this information a moderately conservative design rock strength value of UCS = 30 MPa has been assessed for structural design where large volumes of this material are affected and a local strength value of 6MPa has also been derived. The results detailed in

Project No: TA7148 Document No. F01

BAY OF NIGG HARBOUR DEVELOPMENT ABERDEEN

18/12/2013 Page 34 of 39

Tables 21 and 22 indicate that the weathered rock material has lower strength and moderately conservative design rock strength value of UCS = 6 MPa has been assessed for structural design where large volumes of the weathered gneiss material are affected and a local strength value of 1MPa is assessed for this material. The above values are assessed for structural design and should not be applied to an assessment of the excavatability of rock strata. To evaluate this all of the data presented in Figures 13 to 19 inclusive should be assessed. With regard to groundwater most of the site was below sea level or within the intertidal zone. The limited exploratory holes undertaken on land indicate that in these parts of the site the groundwater table beneath the site appears to be encountered at shallow depth within the rock strata or superficial deposits with strikes recorded between 0.00m to 3.10m below ground level during the formation of the exploratory holes. 8.4 Development of Site As noted in section 8.3 above, the boreholes show that there is only local and limited thicknesses of made ground present beneath the south western corner of the site. The remaining ground conditions encountered beneath the site are generally favourable for the development with typically medium dense or dense marine granular deposits encountered overlying typically very stiff and hard glacial till strata and very dense glacial granular strata and at greater depth typically weak, medium strong and strong Dalradian rock strata The proposed development of the site will need to take into account the nature, thickness and variability of the superficial deposits and the variability of rockhead levels and rock strata beneath the site. The main structures with significant associated loads are indicated to be: • North and South Breakwaters • Harbour access channel and harbour area • Quay area comprising reinforced concrete deck supported by tubular steel piles The remaining proposals which could include car parking areas, access roads and storage areas are unlikely to have significant loads associated with them. For the purposes of assessing foundation levels, it has been assumed that the majority of the site will remain at existing levels. 8.5 Foundations 8.5.1 Summary Piled foundations have been indicated to support part of the quay area in the northern side of the bay (cross section drawings DKR4708/300/D002 and DKR4708/300/D003). Any foundation solution will however have to take account of the site geology and the nature of the development and the site location adjacent to the North Sea. Spread foundations are likely to be suitable for lightly loaded structures constructed on land on the site. For those more heavily loaded structures which require settlement to be maintained at minimal levels, and for structures constructed over water piled foundations would be suitable for use on the site. 8.5.2 Spread Foundations Shallow spread foundations could be used to support parts of the quay structure where this abuts the

Girdle Ness headland and beach area. Based on the results of the in situ and laboratory testing it is considered that a net allowable bearing pressure of 185kPa may be placed the marine sand strata at a depth of 1.00m by a conventional spread strip foundation of least width 0.6 to 1.0 metre at the location of borehole L01. For pad foundations, a net allowable bearing pressure of 175 kPa may be placed on the same material at the same depths by a conventional pad foundation of dimensions 2.0m by 2.0m. A minimum adequacy factor in excess of 3.0 was assessed for this foundation configuration and consequently the GEO limit state requirement is satisfied. The quoted net allowable bearing pressure is for settlement not exceeding 25mm. Shallow spread foundations should be founded on the marine sand strata and because of the low shrinkage potential of this strata a minimum founding depth of 0.80m should be adopted. Care should be exercised to confirm the density of the founding granular strata on the shore area as any windblown sand deposits are likely to be less compact and have lower bearing pressures. Higher allowable bearing pressures would be available on the granitic gneiss rock strata. Based on the results of the in situ and laboratory testing it is considered that a net allowable bearing pressure of 2.5MPa may be placed the less weathered granitic gneiss strata with a fracture spacing greater than 100mm by a conventional spread strip foundation of least width 0.6 to 1.0 metre. For pad foundations, the same net allowable bearing pressure may be placed on the same material by a conventional pad foundation of dimensions 2.0m by 2.0m. For the weathered granitic gneiss strata, a lower net allowable bearing pressure of 0.5MPa is assessed for the same strip and pad foundation dimensions and rock fracture spacing detailed above. The quoted net allowable bearing pressure is for settlement not exceeding 25mm. Prior to blinding, the base of foundation excavations should be carefully examined for pockets of organic, soft or loose material. If encountered, these should be removed and replaced with compacted lean mix concrete. Over excavation and compacted back filling must be avoided. 8.5.3 Piled Foundations If it is considered that some or all of the proposed structures need to be supported on foundations that will guarantee very limited settlement, or for foundations to be constructed over water, a piled foundation solution could be adopted. The suspended reinforced concrete deck for the quay could be supported on closed or open-ended steel tubular driven piles as proposed by the Engineer provided that ground vibration and noise can be tolerated during construction. The advice of specialist piling contractors should be sought on the suitability and load carrying capacity of their proprietary systems for use at the site. Cross sections C-C, D-DE-E, F-F, H-H and I-I indicate very variable rockhead depths over the area of the proposed quay. Whereas sections E-E and F-F indicate that rockhead is typically less than 5.00m along the northern edge of the bay, rockhead depths increase rapidly towards the centre of the bay and this will impact on the installation of piles in these areas. The presence of cobble and boulder obstructions within the very coarse granular marine deposits (for example as detailed on cross section F-F) and glacial till and granular deposits will present difficulties for driven piles in these materials and suitable protection or other measures may be required to ease passage through this material. Piles will need to be extended to sufficient depth within the glacial till or less weathered granitic gneiss and based on the borehole information this could mean that piles between 6.0m to in excess of 30.0m length would be required to support a suspended concrete deck at the level indicated (+6.5m chart datum). The exploratory hole logs, the data presented in Tables 1 to 25 inclusive together with Figures 1 to 28 inclusive should be made available to piling contractors. It is recommended that limited pile load tests should be carried out to verify design loads although it is acknowledged that this testing may be restricted by the cost of these tests. When reviewing the pile load test programme the design economies associated with the Eurocode UK National Annex should be

considered. It is also recommended that if piles are considered to be necessary for this scheme, piling contractors are consulted about the most suitable type of pile for use on the site. 8.6 Access Channel and Harbour Excavations As part of the harbour development parts of the bay are to be dredged and the ground level lowered to construct a harbour basin and approach channel. The approach channel running between the breakwaters is indicated to have a level of -10.5m chart datum and this links into the roughly circular main harbour basin behind the breakwaters with a base level of -9.0m indicated. The dredge levels detailed on drawing 121106-AB-01 are indicated on cross sections B-B, C-C, G-G and H-H. These sections indicate that excavations will principally be undertaken within the marine sand deposits, the coarse granular marine deposits and the underlying glacial till. Although the levels detailed on the drawing are limited excavation levels do not appear to intersect the extrapolated rockhead levels drawn on the cross sections. It is noted however that rockhead levels in this type of buried valley feature are often very variable and this is to some extent confirmed by the geophysical survey and consequently excavations intersecting the underlying rock strata cannot be discounted based on the current distribution of exploratory holes. Dredging excavations within the marine sand deposits and coarse granular marine deposits should be readily achievable with marine dredging plant although the dredging plant should be capable of handling the very coarse (cobble and boulder) materials noted in the very coarse marine strata. The underlying glacial till materials will prove more difficult to excavate because of the high undrained shear strength of this material. A review of the data for the glacial till presented in Figures 7 and 8 indicates an inferior local undrained shear strength value of 175kPa and a superior local strength value of around 750kPa and the dredging plant employed on this project should be capable of readily excavating till materials within this strength range. It is also noted that the glacial till stratum contains very coarse (cobble and boulder) materials that could also cause excavation difficulties. 8.7 Breakwater Construction Cross sections A-A, B-B and I-I indicate that both breakwaters will be constructed on ground that is variable both in terms of thickness and lithology. Depth to rockhead varies considerably beneath both breakwaters with this being especially so beneath the northern breakwater. The thickness of the individual strata beneath the breakwaters also varies considerably as indicated by the above cross sections. The above cross sections all indicate that the base of both breakwaters will mainly be founded on the marine sand deposits but locally (e.g. cross section B-B) the breakwater bases may found on the very coarse granular marine deposits. For the northern breakwater, the topographic survey information indicates that for much of its length the base will be founded at approximately -8.00m chart datum with the height of the crest indicated at 11.5m chart datum. Based on these values and assuming a saturated bulk density of 20 kN/m3 for the rock fill forming the bund and a sea level of 0.00m chart datum total settlements in the centre of the breakwater at its northern end (at the location of BHE74) are assessed to be in the range 25mm to 70mm while at the southern end of the northern breakwater (at the location of BHB61) total settlements are assessed to be in the range 160mm to 400mm. For the southern breakwater, assessments of settlement at its north eastern end are difficult because the depth of rockhead has not been determined. The breakwater will stress the ground to a considerable depth because of its width (the depth at which the stress increase due to loading is equal to 20% effective stress is estimated to be approximately 70m) and consequentially information in ground conditions to rockhead would be required in this area for a full assessment. The topographic survey information indicates that for

much of its length the base of the southern breakwater will be founded at approximately -13.00m chart datum with the height of the crest indicated at 12.3m chart datum. Based on these values and assuming a saturated bulk density of 20 kN/m3 for the rock fill forming the bund and a sea level of 0.00m chart datum total settlements in the centre of the breakwater at its southern end (at the location of BHE112) are assessed to be in the range 35mm to 100mm while at the northern end of the southern breakwater (at the location of BHE106) total settlements are assessed to be in the range 65mm to in excess of 150mm. In the above assessment, it is estimated that between 50% and 90% of settlement will occur during construction depending on its location along the breakwater. 8.8 Sulfate and pH Aggressivity A total of seventeen soil samples were analysed for water soluble sulfate content, chloride content, water soluble magnesium content and pH levels. Selected soil samples were also analysed for nitrate content. The results of the analyses are given on the summary sheets in Section C. The results of the soil analysis indicate that a characteristic value for water soluble sulfate levels of 420 mg/l exist in the ground and that pH levels lie in the range pH = 7.9 to pH = 9.0. Chloride content values are in the range 81 to 3000 mg/kg and nitrate content values are in the range 5 to 10mg/kg. Referring to Table C1 in BRE Special Digest 1 the recorded sulfate, pH and other test results would require the use of Design Sulfate Class DS-1 concrete and an ACEC class of AC-1 on this site. This is in agreement with the characteristic values and material classification for the various individual strata as detailed in Table 23. All other recommendations given in the Digest should be followed when designing concrete mixes for use on this site. 8.9 Mining This report has been prepared on the basis that the site is stable with regard to mining activities. No evidence of economically viable minerals or mining was encountered within the depth zone penetrated by the exploratory holes formed as part of this investigation.

9.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The information available for the site has been gathered from a historical ground investigation and from the current ground investigation. Together with the desk study information, these investigations have provided sufficient and suitable data from which design parameters have been derived. Although sufficient information has been obtained to allow a preliminary assessment of the project additional exploratory hole information would be required for final design. This would include additional exploratory holes on land to facilitate the development of structures associated with the harbour and additional boreholes within the bay to fill in parts of the site where exploratory hole coverage is poor. In addition, an assessment of the stability of the high slope of superficial deposits observed in the south western corner of the site should be considered if its failure will impact on the new facility.
