Geotechnical Engineering and Inspection/Testing
April 9, 2020 Mr. Jeffrey Pinhey, P.Eng. Able Engineering Services Inc. Via email Dear Mr. Pinhey, Re: Geotechnical Investigation – Proposed Waterline and Road Upgrades Herring Cove Drive, Liverpool, NS This provides the findings of our geotechnical investigation for the proposed waterline and road upgrades at Port Mersey Commercial Park in Liverpool, NS. The subsurface conditions are generally fair on the southwest side of the site. The conditions become poor toward the northeast side of the site due to thick, low quality fill and debris. Also, water inflow into the test pits was severe in the southwestern end. MAIN FINDINGS The subsurface conditions include existing fill throughout the site. Fill materials encountered mainly consisted of a silty sand with gravel with frequent debris in several test pits. Fill ranged in thickness from 1.5 m to >3.0 m and generally decreased in quality towards the northeastern portion of the site. Groundwater was encountered in all the test pits. No bedrock was encountered. Some work will be required to prepare the site, as outlined below and in this report. Based on our investigation, our recommendations are as follows:
• Installation of new services for this project will involve extensive groundwater control and over-excavation to provide a stable base, followed by installation of the piping, bedding, and backfilling.
• In the proposed road areas, the areas should be cut to the design subgrade elevation and proof-rolled. Any weak or soft zones should be replaced with approved fill. Some planning may be required to prevent disturbance of the subgrade during construction.
• Geotechnical inspection and testing will be necessary during earthworks.

FIELD INVESTIGATION The field program consisted of twelve test pits (TP1 to TP12) completed on March 18, 2020. The test pit locations are shown in Figure A and on the appended Drawing 1. The test pits were conducted using an excavator. Representative samples were taken during the field work and the conditions at the test pits were logged in detail. The soil conditions encountered at the site are summarized in the following paragraph and Table A. The subsurface conditions include existing fill throughout the site. Fill materials encountered mainly consisted of a silty sand with gravel with frequent debris in several test pits. Fill ranged in thickness from 1.5 m to >3.0 m and generally decreased in quality towards the northeastern portion of the site. Groundwater was encountered in all the test pits. No bedrock was encountered.

DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION Earthworks Earthworks for services for this project will involve extensive groundwater control which may have to include sheet piling or well-points, excavation to the required depth and over-excavation to provide a stable base, followed by installation of the service, bedding, and backfilling. Construction for the proposed road in involve excavation to design subgrade, proof-rolling and over-excavation as required, and then placement of gravel and asphalt. Surface Water Control and Erosion Control Prior to excavations, surface water drainage controls should be provided on the up-gradient side of the site to minimize run-off onto exposed soils. Suitable erosion and sedimentation control measures should be employed. These may include silt fences, check dams in ditches, and granular working pads. Excavation Excavation into the site soils will be practical with conventional earth-moving equipment. Temporary excavation side slopes in soil should be stable at one horizontal to one vertical (1H:1V) above the groundwater table. Material that is planned for re-use should be placed directly in the intended areas or compacted in stockpiles for later use. Unsuitable materials should be used in landscaped areas or wasted off-site. Excavated material containing organics or debris will not be suitable for reuse. Dewatering of Excavations Dewatering of excavations will be a significant issue. The use of sheet piling or other such extensive measures will be needed depending on the pipe depth. Fill Placement and Compaction Fill required for the pavement areas should consist of the following: • approved on-site soils, or; • imported, quarried rockfill or gravel. Excavated material containing organics and/or debris (former building foundations were observed in two test pits) will not be suitable for re-use. Selected portions of excavated fill can be considered for reuse. This should be reviewed at the time of construction. The lift thickness used during placement of fills must be compatible with the compaction equipment and the material type to ensure the specified density throughout. The lift thickness should not exceed approximately 450 mm for mass filling and 200 mm for backfilling of services. The maximum particle size should be no larger than ⅔ of the lift thickness.

Geotechnical Engineering and Inspection/Testing
Fill materials should be compacted to the following percentage of maximum Standard Proctor dry density: • Fill within 300 mm of driveway/parking subgrade 98% • Fill below 300 mm of driveway/parking subgrade 95%
Pavement Areas The pavement areas should be cut to subgrade elevation and proof-rolled. Any soft or wet material should be replaced with approved, granular material. The road type and loads are not known. At this time, we suggest the following pavement structure, but this should be reviewed.

40 mm 60 mm
NSTIR Type 1 Gravel NSTIR Type 2 Gravel
150 mm 300 mm
Subgrade As approved by Consultant during construction
All aggregate should meet the NSTIR Standard Specifications. The gravels should be compacted to 100% of Standard Proctor maximum dry density. The asphalt should be compacted to 92% Marshall density. Please contact us if you have any questions. Regards, Amanda Hickey, CET R. Bruce MacNeil, P.Eng. Senior Geotechnical Technologist Senior Geotechnical Engineer [email protected] [email protected]
APPENDIX A
SYMBOLS AND TERMS USED ON BOREHOLE AND TEST PIT RECORDS
SOIL DESCRIPTION
Terminology describing common soil genesis:
Topsoil - mixture of soil and humus capable of supporting good vegetative growth
Peat - fibrous aggregate of visible and invisible fragments of decayed organic matter
Till - unstratified glacial deposit which may range from clay to boulders
Fill - any materials below the surface identified as placed by humans
(excluding buried services)
Terminology describing soil structure:
Desiccated - having visible signs of weathering by oxidation of clay minerals, shrinkage cracks, etc.
Fissured - having cracks, and hence a blocky structure
Varved - composed of regular alternating layers of silt and clay
Stratified - composed of alternating successions of different soil types, e.g. silt and sand
Layer - >75 mm
Seam - 2 mm to 75 mm
Parting - < 2 mm
Well Graded - having wide range in grain sizes and substantial amounts of all intermediate particle
sizes
Uniformly Graded - predominantly of one grain size
Terminology describing soils on the basis of grain size and plasticity is based on the Unified Soil Classification
System (USCS) (ASTM D-2488). The classification excludes particles larger than 76 mm (3 inches). This
system provides a group symbol (e.g. SM) and group name (e.g. silty sand) for identification.
Terminology describing materials outside the USCS, (e.g. particles larger than 76 mm, visible organic matter,
construction debris) is based upon the proportion of these materials present:
Trace, or occasional Less than 10%
Some 10-20%
Frequent Greater than 20%
The standard terminology to describe cohesionless soils includes the compactness (formerly “relative density”), as
determined by laboratory test or by the Standard Penetration Test ‘N’ – value.
Relative Density ‘N’ Value Compactness %
Very Loose <4 <15
Loose 4-10 15-35
Compact 10-30 35-65
Dense 30-50 65-85
Very Dense >50 >85
The standard terminology to describe cohesive soils includes the consistency, which is based on undrained shear
strength as measured by insitu vane tests, penetrometer tests, unconfined compression tests, or occasionally by
standard penetration tests.
Consistency Undrained Shear Strength (Su) ‘N’ Value
Kips/sq.ft. KPa
Very Soft < 0.25 < 12.5 < 2
Soft 0.25 – 0.5 12.5 – 25 2 – 4
Firm 0.5 – 1.0 25 – 50 4 – 8
Stiff 1.0 – 2.0 50 – 100 8 – 15
Very Stiff 2.0 – 4.0 100 – 200 15 – 30
Hard > 4.0 > 200 > 30
ROCK DESCRIPTION Rock Quality Designation (RQD)
The classification is based on a modified core recovery percentage in which all pieces of sound core over
100 mm long are counted as recovery. The smaller pieces are considered to be due to close shearing,
jointing, faulting, or weathering in the rock mass and are not counted. RQD was originally intended to be
done on N-size (45 mm) core; however, it can be used on different core sizes if the bulk of the fractures
caused by drilling stresses are easily distinguishable from in situ fractures.
RQD ROCK QUALITY
90 – 100 Excellent, intact, very sound
75 – 90 Good, massive, moderately jointed or sound
50 – 75 Fair, blocky and seamy, fractured
25 – 50 Poor, shattered and very seamy or blocky, severely fractured
0 – 25 Very poor, crushed, very severely fractured
Terminology describing rock mass:
Spacing (mm) Bedding, Laminations, Bands Discontinuities
2000 – 6000 Very Thick Very Wide
600 – 2000 Thick Wide
200 – 600 Medium Moderate
60 – 200 Thin Close
20 – 60 Very Thin Very Close
< 20 Laminated Extremely Close
< 6 Thinly Laminated
Strength Classification
Uniaxial Compressive
Strength (MPa)
Very Weak 1 – 5
Weak 5 – 25
Medium Strong 25 – 50
Strong 50 – 100
Very Strong 100 – 250
Extremely Strong > 250
Terminology describing weathering:
Slight - Weathering limited to the surface of major discontinuities. Typically iron stained.
Moderate - Weathering extends throughout rock mass. Rock is not friable.
High - Weathering extends throughout rock mass. Rock is friable.
STRATA PLOT Strata plots symbolize the soil or bedrock description. They are combinations of the following basic symbols:

Pump Features and ApplicationsMYERS® MODELS WG20 anD WGX20Submersible Grinder Pumps
a. Stator – 2 HP 2 hp, 3450 RPM, 1 and 3 phase. Press fit
for perfect alignment and best heat transfer. Oil-filled motor conducts heat and lubricates bearings.
b. Cable Entry System Provides double seal protection. Cable jacket
sealed by compression fitting. Individual wires sealed by epoxy potting.
C. Heat Sensor Protects motor from burnout due to excessive
heat from any overload condition. Automatically resets when motor has cooled.
d. Ball Bearings Upper and lower ball bearings support shaft
and rotor and take axial and radial loads.
E. Heavy 416 Sst Shaft Corrosion resistant. Reduces shaft
deflection due to grinding loads.
F. Shaft Seals Double tandem mechanical shaft seals
protect motor. Oil-filled seal chamber provides continuous lubrication.
G. Seal Leak Probe Detects water in seal housing, activates
warning light in control panel.
H. Volute Case Cast iron 11⁄4" NPT vertical discharge.
i. Impeller Bronze recessed impeller handles ground
slurry without clogging or binding. Provides unobstructed flow passage. Reduces radial loads. Pump-out vanes help keep trash from seal, reduces pressure at seal faces.
J. Sleeve Bearing Takes radial load; provides flame path.
K. Grinder Assembly Grinder impeller and shredding ring are
replaceable without dismantling pump. Constructed of 440 SST hardened to 56-60 Rockwell.
