GEO-TECHNICAL INVESTIGATION FOR THE PROPOSED SHANGRI-LA RESORT ATHAMBANTOTA_EXTERNAL WORKS

It is proposed to develop the land of the attached plan for a Resort. The project consists of bridges,canals, roads and a golf link with other necessary infrastructure.

A necessity has therefore arisen to carry out Geo-Technical investigation to ascertain the subsoilconditions and determine the parameters for the foundation design of the proposed structures.

The client has decided to call for quotations from those who have necessary experience to carry outGeo-Technical investigations and you are hereby invited to participate in this tender.

The Geo-Technical investigations will consist of

For Bridges

(i) Surveying and locating the position of the boreholes as per the attached plan.Execution of 4 boreholes (BH 2,3,4 & 5) up to 10m from ground level and execution of 02boreholes (BH 1 and 6) through the bed rock to a 1m depth and if the bedrock is notencountered beyond a depth of 30m then terminate further advancement of drilling.

(ii) Carrying out SPT test continuously at first 3m depth from existing G.L and thereafter at 1 mintervals on overburden at each borehole to establish continuous strength profile of thesubsoil.

(iii) Collecting sufficient number of disturbed and undisturbed soil samples required for thelaboratory tests.

(iv) Diamond coring through the bedrock, storing the core samples in core boxes andphotographing them.(Approximately 1m depth through the hard rock at each specifiedborehole)

(v) Carry out necessary laboratory tests [Natural Moisture content, Particle sizedistribution(Sieve Analysis, Hydrometer), Bulk density, Specific Gravity, Consolidation,Chemical analysis of ground water & Microbiological analysis of ground water]

(vi) Complete Geo-Technical report with the following:(a) Borehole logs with SPT-N values and other remarks.(b) Subsoil profile across the boreholes.(c) Description of subsoil condition.(d)All the results of laboratory analysis and tests.(e) Design recommendation for foundation system including bearing capacities and

possible settlement due to the bridge loads. In case of recommending pile foundations,bearing capacities at the recommended pile termination depth and skin friction valuesfor each type of soil layer should be indicated.

(f) The report should be prepared by an experienced foundation engineer whose nameand qualification and should be given with the offer.

For the Golf Links

(i) Advance 4 boreholes(BH 7 to 10) of 8m deep with Standard Penetration testing at 1mintervals, (for stability analysis)

(iii) Carry our necessary laboratory tests [Particle size distribution (Sieve Analysis, Hydrometer),

Natural Moisture content, Atterberg limits, Standard Proctor compaction test, Field density](iv) Complete Geo-Technical report with the following:

(a) Borehole logs with SPT-N values and other remarks.(b) Subsoil profile across the boreholes.(c) Description of subsoil condition.(d) All the results of laboratory analysis and tests.(e) Design recommendation for stability of the existing formation & new formation.
