2. Project appreciation
The Pacific Highway and Wyong Road intersection is currently a four leg dual lane
circulating roundabout. The Pacific Highway forms the northern and southern legs of the
intersection while Wyong Road forms the eastern and western legs. The roundabout
provides a main connection between the F3 freeway and The Entrance, carrying about
52,000 vehicle movements per day in total, 34,800 vehicles on Wyong Road and 29,900
vehicles on the Pacific Highway.
The Pacific Highway to the south of Wyong Road between Ourimbah and Tuggerah was
declassified in April 2010 from State road, and is now a local road under the care of
Wyong Shire Council. The key features of the project include:

Replacement of the existing roundabout with a set of traffic signals to enable better
management of the traffic volumes at this intersection.
A new rail overbridge over the Main Northern Railway Line to accommodate
eastbound movements along Wyong Road. The existing Tuggerah Rail Overbridge
will accommodate all westbound movements, including turning lanes to the Pacific
highway (north).
Widening of the intersection to accommodate extra lanes in all four directions and tie
in with the recently completed Pacific Highway Upgrade, Tuggerah Straight, north of
the intersection at Anzac Road.
At-grade pedestrian crossings on all four legs of the intersection.
Extension of the existing pedestrian underpass including improvement of the general
amenity of the underpass facility.
Extension of the pedestrian/cyclist shared path network to improve off-road
pedestrian/cyclist connections to adjacent areas including: Tuggerah Railway Station,
Tuggerah Supa Centa, Tuggerah Business Park and Westfield Shopping Centre.
The upgrade of the intersection of Wyong Road and Gavenlock Road to incorporate
an additional left turn slip lane into Gavenlock Road (southbound).
Retaining walls on: the northern side of Wyong Road (east and west of the
intersection), the southern side of Wyong Road (east of the intersection) and the
western side of Pacific Highway (north of the intersection).
Relocation of underground and overhead utilities to accommodate the proposed
works.

3.2. Soils and geology


An understanding of the soils and geology for the area surrounding the Pacific Highway
and Wyong Road intersection has been based on the 1:100 000 geological map published
by the NSW Geological Survey for Gosford Lake Macquarie and the 1:100 000 soil
landscapes of the Gosford Lake Macquarie map published by Soil Conservation Service
of NSW. Based on this mapping, the Woodburys Bridge and Wyong Soil Landscape soil
landscape units are located within the project area and are expected to be underlain by
the Tuggerah Formation which belongs to the Clifton Sub-Group Formation of early
Triassic geological age (about 250 million years ago).
A description of the geological formations and soil landscapes underlying the project are
provided in Table 3.1and illustrated in Appendix B (Figure B1). These units were
confirmed during the geotechnical field investigations.

Table 3.1 Soil and Geological Units

Unit

Description

(wo) Woodburys Bridge


(Residual soil)

The Woodburys Bridge soil landscape is characterised by gently undulating rises


to rolling low hills with local relief less than 80 metres and slope gradients less
than 20 percent. Landforms include broad crests, long and gently inclined slopes,
and narrow drainage lines. There are two main types of soils within this unit that
include deep red podzolic soils with some soloths in poorly drained areas on
claystone bedrock and shallow to moderately deep yellow podzolic soils on
sandstone bedrock.

(wy) Wyong
(Alluvial deposit)

The Wyong soil landscape is characterised by broad poorly drained deltaic flood
plains and alluvial flats of Quaternary sediments with local relief less than ten
metres and slope gradients less than three percent. Landforms include meander
scrolls, oxbows, and swamps. Soils within this unit typically include brownish black
pedal loam overlying mottled brownish grey clay. Occasionally the associated soil
material bleached greyish yellow brown to dull yellow orange sandy clay loam
occurs at the interface between materials. Splays and lenses of sand can occur in
the soil profile.

(Rnu) Tuggerah
Formation

The Tuggerah formation is primarily a lower sequence in the Clifton sub- group
from the Early Triassic Period. It is comprised of red, green, and grey shale and
quartz-lithic sandstone with minor claystones and conglomerate. The Clifton subgroup forms part of the Narrabeen group from Triassic Period of the Mesozoic
Era.

3.3. Acid Sulfate Soil (ASS) assessment


Acid sulfate soils (ASS) are soils and sediments containing iron sulphides that, when
disturbed and exposed to oxygen, generate sulfuric acid and toxic quantities of aluminium
and other heavy metals. The sulfuric acid and heavy metals are produced in forms that
can be readily released into the environment, with potential adverse effects on the natural
and built environment and human health. The majority of ASS are formed by natural
processes under specific environmental conditions. This generally limits their occurrence
to low lying sections of coastal floodplains, rivers and creeks where surface elevations are
typically less than about 5m AHD.
A review of the online ASS maps (Australian Soil Resource Information System, CSIRO,
2006) for the project area was undertaken to assess the risk of encountering ASS along
the intersection and upgrade alignment. Mapping indicates that the likelihood of ASS is
considered Low probability. However, acid sulfate soils have been encountered with
previous projects in low lying areas (similar to areas of this alignment) to the north and
north east of the site.
ASS testing undertaken as part of the project (refer to Section 5.1.2), did indicate that
there was a presence for Potential Acid Sulfate Soils (PASS), within the lower lying
alluvial soil units.

3.4. Groundwater
The NSW Department of Natural Resources natural resource atlas (DNR, 2012) provides
a database of registered groundwater bores within NSW. A search of the groundwater
bore database identified two (2) groundwater bores with available information located
within a 500 metre radius of the project site. Table 3.2 outlines a summary of the
groundwater bore information available from the natural resources atlas.

3.5. Existing Rail Overbridge Drawings


Drawings for the existing bridge over the Main Northern Railway line are included in
Appendix B and referenced above (DMR, 1984). Based on these drawings, founding
levels (Contract Levels) for the existing rail overbridge were designed at between RL
10.0m AHD and RL14.0m AHD, likely founded on rock. The drawings indicate 400mm
square precast concrete driven piles were proposed. Work as Executed information was
not provided for the driven piles.
Four relevant boreholes within the footprint of the existing bridge pier and abutment
locations were included on Sheets 3 and 4 of the drawing set. Detailed borehole logs were
not provided, however Standard Penetration testing information is included which
indicates firm clay soils in the upper soil horizons, grading to stiff to very stiff soils with

3.6. Previous geotechnical investigations


3.6.1.

RMS pavement investigation: 2523/01

RMS conducted a pavement investigation at the intersection between HW10 the Pacific
Highway and MR335 Wyong Road, Tuggerah from 12 September 2006 to 13 September
2006. The investigation was undertaken to determine the subsurface conditions and
provide recommended pavement designs for the proposed intersection improvements.
The investigation consisted of thirteen (13) test holes with Dynamic Cone Penetrometer
(DCP) tests, seventeen (17) Asphalt Concrete (AC) cores, detailed pavement logging, and
pavement sampling. The test holes were excavated using a 400 mm auger mounted on a
backhoe with DCP testing conducted in the test holes where sub-grade conditions
permitted. The investigation location plan is presented in Appendix B.
The RMS investigation results are outlined in Table 3.4 and summarised as follows:

The existing pavement surface condition is variable, ranging from fair condition in
most areas to poor condition at roundabouts.
The AC thickness from the cored samples ranged from 60mm to 235mm with typical
thickness from 60mm to 110mm. The AC condition was generally described as fair
except where the AC was thinnest. In these areas it was described as poor.
Fill materials encountered in the pavement were variable but typically consisted of
high strength silty and clayey gravels and medium strength sandy silts and clays with
pockets of low strength/high swell clays. The DCP results indicated that the fill
material was generally well compacted and of high strength in-situ.
Subgrade conditions also varied considerably with materials encountered including
dense silty sand, low strength silty clay, inferred zones of low compaction and/or high
moisture content from DCP results.

RMS pavement investigation 2523/02

RMS conducted a pavement investigation for the proposed embankment widening located
east of the rail over bridge at the intersection between HW10 the Pacific Highway and
MR335 Wyong Road, Tuggerah on 12 February 2008. The investigation was undertaken
to determine the subsurface conditions and provide recommended pavement designs for
the proposed intersection improvements.
The investigation consisted of four (4) test holes with DCP tests, six (6) AC cores, detailed
pavement logging, and pavement sampling. The test holes were excavated using a
450mm auger mounted on a backhoe with DCP testing conducted in the test holes where
subgrade conditions permitted. The investigation location plan is presented in Appendix
B. The RMS investigation results are outlined in Table 3.5 and summarised as follows:
SINCLAIR KNIGHT MERZ

Geotechnical Investigations Report

The existing pavement condition encountered was described as fair to good.


AC cored thickness from recovered samples ranged from 245mm to 265mm and was
described as fair to good condition.
Fill material encountered consisted of gravely sand, clayey sand and sandy clay with
low plasticity and CBR values ranging from 11 to 14 percent. The DCP results
indicated the fill material was well compacted.
The embankment foundation materials/subgrade materials consisted of up to 650mm
of silty and sandy clay fill over silty clay. The DCP and hand penetrometer results
indicated these materials were generally stiff up to 2m depth.

A design CBR of five percent was recommended for the intersection improvements.

3.7. Site visit and inspection


A site inspection of the intersection and approaches upgrade alignment was undertaken
by Scott Raynsford (Principal Geotechnical Engineer), David Andrew (Geotechnical
Engineer), and Amanda Hunter (Environmental Scientist) from SKM on Tuesday 24
January 2012 to assess the general site conditions, access issues, traffic management
requirements, contamination issues and gain an appreciation of the site geological and
topography features to assist in this assessment and planned site investigation phase.
Results of the site inspection were used to develop a preliminary ground model and
develop a geotechnical site investigation plan which was subject to an Environmental
Assessment (SKM, 2012b) and an Environmental Management Plan (SKM, 2012c) being
prepared and approved by RMS. Access to private land was also a key consideration in
developing the site investigation plan. Select photographs from the site inspection are
presented on Plates 1 to 12 in Appendix B.

4.3. Borehole drilling


Two (2) boreholes were undertaken between 09 June 2012 and 10 June 2012 within the
rail corridor during a RailCorp track possession. The boreholes were drilled by Terratest
Pty Ltd using a combination of a truck mounted Edson 3000 drill rig (BH08) and a track
mounted Comacchio Geo 205 drill rig (BH09). Non Destructive Drilling (NDD) using a
Vacmaster provided by Terratest Pty Ltd was employed for both boreholes up to a
maximum depth of 1.5m below natural ground level to eliminate the risk of underground
services. The boreholes were then drilled to depths between 25.3m and 26.0m.
Nine (9) boreholes were undertaken between 23 July 2012 and 01 August 2012 by
Terratest Pty Ltd using a track mounted drill rig (Comacchio Geo 305). The boreholes
were drilled to depths between 6.5 m and 26.9 m. Three (3) monitoring wells were
installed, with a summary of the construction details presented in Section 4.3.1. The
borehole investigation locations are illustrated on the site investigation location plan
contained in Appendix A.
The boreholes were logged on-site under full time supervision by an SKM Geotechnical
Engineer who was responsible for locating the boreholes and selecting locations for in-situ
testing and sampling. Where possible, water levels in the boreholes were recorded during
the drilling process and are displayed on the borehole logs. Table 4.2 outlines a summary
of the borehole investigation locations and investigation depths.
Boreholes were advanced through overburden soils by a combination of 110mm diameter
continuous solid flight auger with a V-shaped or Tungsten Carbide (TC) bit attachment to
refusal and washboring techniques. Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) was undertaken
at regular intervals within the soil (typically 1m to 1.5m) to assess the in-situ strength.
Steel casing was advanced to the top of rock and used to support the overburden soil
during rock coring.
Boreholes were then continued through the rock profile using triple tube NMLC diamond
coring techniques. The rock core recovered was logged and photographed by an SKM
geotechnical engineer in accordance with current RMS methods and Australian Standards
(SAI, 1993). The borehole logs were prepared using SKMs gINT database system and

are presented in Appendix C in combination with photographs and explanatory notes for
geotechnical terms.
Environmental controls were implemented during the drilling program in accordance with
the project specific EMP (SKM, 2012c) and utilised a combination of geotextile filter cloth
and geofabric spill absorbents. The drill cuttings and fluid were circulated during the
investigation and contained in the drilling tank. At the completion of the investigation, the
borehole was reinstated using the generated spoil and cuttings while the drilling fluids
were removed from site and disposed of at a licensed facility.

Monitoring wells

Three (3) boreholes (BH07, BH10, and BH11) were selected to have monitoring wells
installed for sampling, groundwater measurement purposes and assessment of risks
associated with elevated groundwater levels and groundwater aggressivity.
Each well was constructed using standard uPVC Class 18, 50mm diameter, flush jointed,
screwed coupling casing and screens with 0.4mm slots. The screen was placed towards
the bottom of the each well. The screened section was then backfilled with 1 2mm
graded sand to approximately 0.5m above the screened section. This was then overlain
by a bentonite seal and the well was then backfilled. A gatic cover or monument was
installed at the surface.
The monitoring well construction details are summarised in Table 4.3 below and are
presented as monitoring well construction logs in Appendix C.

4.4. Cone Penetration Testing (CPTu) and Shear vane testing (Su)
Cone penetration testing with pore pressure measurement was undertaken at select
locations targeting the intersection and approaches upgrade for the project. Twelve (12)
CPTu were conducted to depths from 6.6m to 21.4m below existing ground level to
assess any potential layers of compressible soils and relative density of alluvium units
underlying the project site.
The testing was undertaken by Network Geotechnics Pty Ltd using a Geoprobe 6625CPT
track mounted rig with a 35mm diameter rod and conical tip that was pushed vertically into
the soil profile to provide a continuous profile. Soil characteristics including cone
resistance (qc), sleeve friction (fs), and pore pressure (u) were measured every 0.02m by
load cells and strain gauges. A piezocone was used for all CPTu tests to allow
measurement of porewater pressure and undertake dissipation testing.
In-situ vane shear testing was completed at two (2) CPTu investigation locations using
equipment mounted on the Geoprobe 6625CPT to provide an indication of the peak in-situ
undrained shear strength. A remolded undrained shear strength test was also undertaken
upon completion of the initial vane shear test.
Table 4.4 outlines a summary of the CPTu investigation locations and investigation
depths and the CPT results sheets are included in Appendix C.

4.5. Test pits


The test pit excavations were carried out on 09 August 2012 for sampling of sub-grade
materials and determination of excavation conditions and any unsuitable material. A total
of three (3) test pits were excavated using a rubber tracked Kubota U45-3 excavator to
depths ranging from 2.50m to 3.20m and terminated at the machine limit of reach or limit
of sidewall stability. A summary of the test pit investigation depths and locations are
provided in Table 4.5.
The test pits were logged on-site under full time supervision by an SKM Geotechnical
Engineer who was responsible for locating test pits, sampling disturbed material and
photographing the sub-surface profile. Test pit logs, photographs and explanatory notes
for geotechnical terms are presented in Appendix C.
Each test pit was backfilled on completion with the excavated material usually replaced in
the same sequence as it was excavated. The material was compacted using the
excavator bucket and track rolled with each test pit left slightly mounded to limit future
settlement of the ground surface.
Dynamic cone penetrometer testing in accordance with AS 1289.6.3.2 was undertaken
adjacent to each test pit to assess the in-situ strength/relative density of the sub-surface
soils. The number of blows was recorded for successive penetrations of 100mm up to
depths of 3.20m or prior refusal. Results from the DCP tests are shown on the test pit logs
and the result sheets contained in Appendix C.

4.7. Survey
On completion of the field investigations, the position and reduced level for each test
location was surveyed using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. The survey
was conducted using a Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS with base station, to an accuracy
of +/- 0.05m. The positions were recorded with reference to Map Grid Australia 56 (MGA
56) and the reduced level with reference to Australian Height Datum (AHD). The survey of
geotechnical investigation locations was undertaken by ADW Johnson Pty Ltd who were
engaged by RMS.
The surveyed positions of the field investigation locations are annotated on the respective
engineering log sheets contained in Appendix C and are shown on the site investigation

values (51 to 430 s/cm) for the soil samples tested.
A total of three (3) water samples collected from monitoring wells installed during the field
investigations were tested in the laboratory for aggressivity using pH, chloride and
sulphate content, and conductivity. Following well development, a water sample was
retrieved from each piezometer to assess the influence of groundwater on buried concrete
and steel structures. The results of the water aggressivity testing are outlined in Table 5.9.

Note: (1) pHF = Field pH

Typical indicators from screening test results for Potential Acid Sulfate Soils (PASS)
include pHFOX < 3, strong reaction rate, and a large change from pHF to pHFOX. The
screening results do show indicators for potential ASS (PASS) conditions. These samples
were selected for confirmation of ASS potential using Chromium Suite analysis. The
Chromium Suite test is an acid base accounting approach widely used for predicting net
acidity from the oxidation of sulphides present in ASS, and has the advantage of not being
subjected to significant interferences from the sulphur in either organic matter or sulfate
minerals present in the soil. The test determines net acidity by calculating the summation

The results above were compared against the action criteria (ASSAG, 1998), which
indicate that there is the potential for PASS soils at the site, where most samples recorded
the net acidity and the Chromium reducible sulphur levels greater than the action criteria.
Most samples tested recorded levels greater that the action criteria outlined by Ahern et
al. Recommendations for management and handling of ASS are included under a
separate cover in the Geotechnical Design Report (SKM, 2012d) for consideration where
soils are to be disturbed below the groundwater table.

Subsurface conditions

The geotechnical investigation for the project has been undertaken to characterise the
subsurface conditions into geotechnical units. These geotechnical units were established
from the available background geotechnical information as well as from the results of the
boreholes, CPTu, test pits and laboratory test data.
Table 6.1 outlines the geotechnical units developed for the project. The soil units have
been separated into fill, alluvial, residual soil. Rock units have been classified based on
stratigraphy, strength and weathering characteristics. The inferred subsurface profile is
presented on the geotechnical section included in Appendix F and provides the inferred
boundaries between units.

Material properties of geotechnical units

6.2.1.

(Unit 1) Fill

The fill (Unit 1) encountered along the Pacific Highway and Wyong Road intersection and
approaches upgrade alignment was generally limited to areas adjacent to existing road,
rail corridor, and subsequent pavement structures. Fill was encountered in BH03, BH08,
BH09 and TP02 to depths between 0.60m and 1.20m and typically comprised soft to stiff
sandy and silty clays. Soil classification test results for Unit 1 are illustrated on Figure 6.2.
6.2.2.

(Unit 2) Alluvial deposits

The alluvial deposits (Unit 2) encountered across the project alignment in: BH01, BH08
BH12, CPT01CPT05, CPT09CPT11 and TP01TP03 have been assessed into six (6)
geotechnical units (2A to 2F) using soil classification and consistency properties.
Figure 6.2 illustrates a plasticity chart with the soil classification laboratory test results for
Unit 2. It can be seen that Unit 2A comprises low plasticity material with liquid limits that
varied between 25 and 35 percent and plastic limit that varied between 10 and 17 percent.
The corresponding plasticity index values ranged between 10 and 25 percent. Particle
size distribution tests on samples retrieved from Unit 2A indicate the samples comprised

Unit 2E and 2F are also outlined in Figure 6.1 and Figure 6.2, with the laboratory test
results illustrating that the units typically comprise stiff (Unit 2E) to hard (Unit 2F) high
plasticity clays and silts. The liquid limits varied between 24 and 63 percent and plastic
limit that varied between 11 and 24 percent. The subsequent plasticity index values
ranged between 13 and 44 percent.

California bearing ratio tests were carried out on four (4) bulk samples retrieved from the
test pit excavations for Unit 2A. The results of the sub-grade for Unit 2A indicated CBR
values typically ranging between 3 to 6 percent and swells ranging between 0.1 to 2.0
percent. The bulk sample retrieved from BH03 reported a CBR value of 25 percent,
however, this result is not considered representative and affected by gravel inclusions.
The maximum dry density values ranged between 1.82 to 2.02 tonnes per cubic metre
and the corresponding optimum moisture content varied between 10.5 and 13.5 percent.
Results from the testing, including compaction and CBR characteristics are outlined on

(Unit 4) Bedrock

Bedrock geotechnical units comprising claystone and sandstone were encountered along
the Pacific Highway and Wyong Road intersection and approaches upgrade alignment.
These units have been classified into three geotechnical units (4A, 4B, 4C) based on
stratigraphy and subsequently strength and defects in accordance with the guidelines
presented in Design Loadings for Foundations on Shale and Sandstone in the Sydney
Region (Pells et al, 1978) and Foundations on Sandstone and Shale in the Sydney
Region (Pells et al, 1998). On this basis, allowing for some variability, Unit 4A has been
classified as typically extremely low strength rock (Class V), Unit 4B classified as very low
to low strength rock (Class IV), and Unit 4C classified as typically medium to high strength
rock (Class III). The inferred subsurface profile and rock unit boundaries are presented on
the geotechnical section drawings in Appendix A.
Statistical analysis of the 20 point load index rock strength tests and unconfined
compressive strength tests undertaken within Unit 4A, Unit 4B, and Unit 4C has been
completed. The results summary from the rock strength statistical analysis is presented in
Table 6.2 and Table 6.3. Figure 6.8 illustrates the axial point load strength index results
against the average depth of the rock core sample tested.

Note: (1) Test completed includes both axial and diametral point load index.
(2) Results are outlined in the table as axial / diametral.

Four (4) unconfined compressive strength tests (on as received moisture) were
undertaken on core samples from Unit 4C in BH07BH10 with results as outlined in
Section 5.1.1. These values were compared with the corresponding axial point load index
strength test results for the same core sample and the ratio of UCS to Is(50) ranged from
12.2 to 38.8. Figure 6.9 illustrates the UCS test results and corresponding axial point load

6.3. Interpretation of CPTu Data


The CPTu data obtained from the field testing have been used to interpret geotechnical
layers (units) and to estimate engineering properties for the geotechnical design. The
CPTu data was correlated against the empirical formulae to estimate the engineering
properties for cohesive soils.
The two main parameters investigated were undrained shear strength (Su) and Over
Consolidation Ratio (OCR).
The relationship between Su and cone resistance, qc, is expressed as (Lunne et al., 1997):
Su = (qc vo)/Nk
Where Nk is an empirical factor and vo is total overburden stress. Nk of 15 was adopted
for this assessment.
The relationship between OCR and qc was adopted as follows:
OCR = k (qt vo)/vo
SINCLAIR KNIGHT MERZ
NB11462-ESG-RP-0002_B_Geotechnical Investigations Report.docx

Geotechnical Investigations Report

k is an empirical factor and vo is the effective overburden stress, with a k of 0.2 adopted
for this assessment.
The profiles of Su and OCR are included in Appendix E. These plots have been used to
assist in the development of the ground model for the site.

Geotechnical Investigations Report

8. Limitations
The sole purpose of this report is to present the findings of a geotechnical investigation
carried out by Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) for the Roads and Maritime Services of NSW
(RMS) in connection with Pacific Highway (HW 10) and Wyong Road (MR 335)
intersection and approaches upgrade. This report was produced in accordance with and is
limited to the scope of services set out in the contract between SKM and the RMS. That
scope of services, as described in this report, was developed with the RMS.
Undertaking an assessment or study of on-site conditions may reduce the potential for
exposure to the presence of inadequate bearing ground. All reports and conclusions that
deal with sub-surface conditions are based on interpretation and judgement and as a
result have uncertainty attached to them. You should be aware that this report contains
interpretations and conclusions which are uncertain, due to the nature of the
investigations. No study can completely eliminate risk, and even a rigorous assessment
and/or sampling programme may not detect all problem areas within a site.
This report is based on assumptions that the site conditions as revealed through sampling
are indicative of conditions throughout the site. The findings are the result of standard
assessment techniques used in accordance with normal practices and standards, and (to
the best of SKMs knowledge) they represent a reasonable interpretation of the current
conditions on the site.
However, all sampling techniques, by definition, cannot determine the conditions between
the sample points and so the report can only provide an indication of, and cannot be taken
to be a full representation of, the sub-surface conditions. It is an indication of the likely sub
surface conditions.
Conditions as encountered when site work commences may be different from those SKM
infers based on its sampling techniques. It is important that SKM is retained to review the
site conditions during site works to confirm and update any assumptions made during the
preparation of this report.
The passage of time, manifestation of latent conditions or impacts of future events may
require further examination of the project and subsequent data analysis, and re-evaluation
of the data, findings, observations and conclusions expressed in this report.
In preparing this report, SKM has relied upon, and presumed accurate, any information (or
confirmation of the absence thereof) provided by the Client and from other sources.
Except as otherwise stated in the report, SKM has not attempted to verify the accuracy or
completeness of any such information. If the information is subsequently determined to be
false, inaccurate or incomplete then it is possible that our observations and conclusions as
expressed in this report may change.

QC SUMMARY

MB blank results are compared to the Limit of Reporting


LCS and MS spike recoveries are measured as the percentage of analyte recovered from the sample compared the the amount of analyte spiked into the sample.
DUP and MSD relative percent differences are measured against their original counterpart samples according to the formula: the absolute difference of the two results divided
by the average of the two results as a percentage. Where the DUP RPD is 'NA' , the results are less than the LOR and thus the RPD is not applicable.

METHOD SUMMARY

METHOD

SE111157 R0

METHODOLOGY SUMMARY

AN002

The test is carried out by drying (at either 40C or 105C) a known mass of sample in a weighed evaporating basin.
After fully dry the sample is re-weighed. Samples such as sludge and sediment having high percentages of
moisture will take some time in a drying oven for complete removal of water.

AN101

pH in Soil Sludge Sediment and Water: pH is measured electrometrically using a combination electrode (glass
plus reference electrode) and is calibrated against 3 buffers purchased commercially. For soils, an extract with
water (or 0.01M CaCl2) is made at a ratio of 1:5 and the pH determined and reported on the extract. Reference
APHA 4500-H+.

AN106

Conductivity and TDS by Calculation: Conductivity is measured by meter with temperature compensation and is
calibrated against a standard solution of potassium chloride. Conductivity is generally reported as mhos/cm or
S/cm @ 25C. For soils, an extract with water is made at a ratio of 1:5 and the EC determined and reported on
the extract, or calculated back to the as-received sample. Salinity can be estimated from conductivity using a
conversion factor, which for natural waters, is in the range 0.55 to 0.75. Reference APHA 2520 B.

AN245

Anions by Ion Chromatography: A water sample is injected into an eluent stream that passes through the ion
chromatographic system where the anions of interest ie Br, Cl, NO2, NO3 and SO4 are separated on their relative
affinities for the active sites on the column packing material. Changes to the conductivity and the UV-visible
absorbance of the eluent enable identification and quantitation of the anions based on their retention time and
peak height or area. APHA 4110 B

Methodology Summary
pH- measured using pH meter and electrode. Soil is oxidised with Hydrogen Peroxide or extracted with water.
Based on section H, Acid Sulfate Soils Laboratory Methods Guidelines, Version 2.1 - June 2004. To ensure
accurate results these tests are recommended to be done in the field as pH may change with time thus these
results may not be representative of true field conditions.

Quality Control Definitions


Blank: This is the component of the analytical signal which is not derived from the sample but from reagents,
glassware etc, can be determined by processing solvents and reagents in exactly the same manner as for samples.
Duplicate : This is the complete duplicate analysis of a sample from the process batch. If possible, the sample
selected should be one where the analyte concentration is easily measurable.
Matrix Spike : A portion of the sample is spiked with a known concentration of target analyte. The purpose of the matrix
spike is to monitor the performance of the analytical method used and to determine whether matrix interferences exist.
LCS (Laboratory Control Sample) : This comprises either a standard reference material or a control matrix (such as a blank
sand or water) fortified with analytes representative of the analyte class. It is simply a check sample.
Surrogate Spike: Surrogates are known additions to each sample, blank, matrix spike and LCS in a batch, of compounds
which are similar to the analyte of interest, however are not expected to be found in real samples.
Laboratory Acceptance Criteria
Duplicate sample and matrix spike recoveries may not be reported on smaller jobs, however, were analysed at a frequency
to meet or exceed NEPM requirements. All samples are tested in batched of 20. The duplicate sample RPD and matrix
spike recoveries for the batch were within the laboratory acceptance criteria.
Duplicates: <5xPQL - any RPD is acceptable; >5xPQL - 0-50% RPD is acceptable.
Matrix Spikes and LCS: Generally 70-130% for inorganics/metals; 60-140% for organics and 10-140% for SVOC and
speciated phenols is acceptable.

Quality Control Definitions


Blank: This is the component of the analytical signal which is not derived from the sample but from reagents,
glassware etc, can be determined by processing solvents and reagents in exactly the same manner as for samples.
Duplicate : This is the complete duplicate analysis of a sample from the process batch. If possible, the sample
selected should be one where the analyte concentration is easily measurable.
Matrix Spike : A portion of the sample is spiked with a known concentration of target analyte. The purpose of the matrix
spike is to monitor the performance of the analytical method used and to determine whether matrix interferences exist.
LCS (Laboratory Control Sample) : This comprises either a standard reference material or a control matrix (such as a blank
sand or water) fortified with analytes representative of the analyte class. It is simply a check sample.
Surrogate Spike: Surrogates are known additions to each sample, blank, matrix spike and LCS in a batch, of compounds
which are similar to the analyte of interest, however are not expected to be found in real samples.
Laboratory Acceptance Criteria
Duplicate sample and matrix spike recoveries may not be reported on smaller jobs, however, were analysed at a frequency
to meet or exceed NEPM requirements. All samples are tested in batched of 20. The duplicate sample RPD and matrix
spike recoveries for the batch were within the laboratory acceptance criteria.
Duplicates: <5xPQL - any RPD is acceptable; >5xPQL - 0-50% RPD is acceptable.
Matrix Spikes and LCS: Generally 70-130% for inorganics/metals; 60-140% for organics and 10-140% for SVOC and
speciated phenols is acceptable.

Report Comments:
Asbestos: A portion of the supplied sample was sub-sampled for asbestos analysis according to Envirolab procedures.
We cannot guarantee that this sub-sample is indicative of the entire sample. Envirolab recommends supplying
40-50g of sample in its own container.
PAH's in soil: The RPD for duplicate results is accepted due to the non homogenous nature of the sample/s.
Asbestos ID was analysed by Approved Identifier:
Asbestos ID was authorised by Approved Signatory:

INS: Insufficient sample for this test


NA: Test not required
<: Less than

Alex Tam
Kim Femia

PQL: Practical Quantitation Limit


RPD: Relative Percent Difference
>: Greater than

NT: Not tested


NA: Test not required
LCS: Laboratory Control Sample

Quality Control Definitions


Blank: This is the component of the analytical signal which is not derived from the sample but from reagents,
glassware etc, can be determined by processing solvents and reagents in exactly the same manner as for samples.
Duplicate : This is the complete duplicate analysis of a sample from the process batch. If possible, the sample
selected should be one where the analyte concentration is easily measurable.
Matrix Spike : A portion of the sample is spiked with a known concentration of target analyte. The purpose of the matrix
spike is to monitor the performance of the analytical method used and to determine whether matrix interferences exist.
LCS (Laboratory Control Sample) : This comprises either a standard reference material or a control matrix (such as a blank
sand or water) fortified with analytes representative of the analyte class. It is simply a check sample.
Surrogate Spike: Surrogates are known additions to each sample, blank, matrix spike and LCS in a batch, of compounds
which are similar to the analyte of interest, however are not expected to be found in real samples.
Laboratory Acceptance Criteria
Duplicate sample and matrix spike recoveries may not be reported on smaller jobs, however, were analysed at a frequency
to meet or exceed NEPM requirements. All samples are tested in batched of 20. The duplicate sample RPD and matrix
spike recoveries for the batch were within the laboratory acceptance criteria.
Duplicates: <5xPQL - any RPD is acceptable; >5xPQL - 0-50% RPD is acceptable.
Matrix Spikes and LCS: Generally 70-130% for inorganics/metals; 60-140% for organics and 10-140% for SVOC and
speciated phenols is acceptable.

Report Comments:

Asbestos ID was analysed by Approved Identifier:


Asbestos ID was authorised by Approved Signatory:

INS: Insufficient sample for this test


NA: Test not required
<: Less than

Not applicable for this job

PQL: Practical Quantitation Limit


RPD: Relative Percent Difference
>: Greater than

NT: Not tested


NA: Test not required
LCS: Laboratory Control Sample

Quality Control Definitions


Blank: This is the component of the analytical signal which is not derived from the sample but from reagents,
glassware etc, can be determined by processing solvents and reagents in exactly the same manner as for samples.
Duplicate : This is the complete duplicate analysis of a sample from the process batch. If possible, the sample
selected should be one where the analyte concentration is easily measurable.
Matrix Spike : A portion of the sample is spiked with a known concentration of target analyte. The purpose of the matrix
spike is to monitor the performance of the analytical method used and to determine whether matrix interferences exist.
LCS (Laboratory Control Sample) : This comprises either a standard reference material or a control matrix (such as a blank
sand or water) fortified with analytes representative of the analyte class. It is simply a check sample.
Surrogate Spike: Surrogates are known additions to each sample, blank, matrix spike and LCS in a batch, of compounds
which are similar to the analyte of interest, however are not expected to be found in real samples.
Laboratory Acceptance Criteria
Duplicate sample and matrix spike recoveries may not be reported on smaller jobs, however, were analysed at a frequency
to meet or exceed NEPM requirements. All samples are tested in batched of 20. The duplicate sample RPD and matrix
spike recoveries for the batch were within the laboratory acceptance criteria.
Duplicates: <5xPQL - any RPD is acceptable; >5xPQL - 0-50% RPD is acceptable.
Matrix Spikes and LCS: Generally 70-130% for inorganics/metals; 60-140% for organics and 10-140% for SVOC and
speciated phenols is acceptable.
