2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSALS
2.1 Site Description
The site is located off Eagle Avenue, within the Magnetic Park industrial estate, approximately 1km north of the centre of Desborough. The Ordnance Survey grid reference for the centre of the site is 479964 284091 as shown on the Site Location Plan in Appendix A.
The site is approximately rectangular with dimensions of approximately 185m by 70m (1.3ha) and slopes gently to the south from 139.99m to 137.44m AOD as shown on the exploratory hole location plan, Ref: AG2456-16-01 Rev 2 in Appendix A, which is based on the topographical survey drawing.
The walkover and ground investigation for the site was undertaken concurrently with sites A, C and D, which form part of a larger scheme for the same Client. Site A was located to the south, Site C adjoining Site B to the north, and Site D was located to the northeast.
A site inspection/walkover was undertaken by Applied Geology on 5th May 2016. Access to the site was gained off Eagle Avenue, Desborough. At the time of the inspection, the site comprised an undeveloped partially grassed field. An approximately 2m high soil mound was located in the northeast of the site of dimensions 10m by 20m. To the southeast of the site, adjacent to the site boundary was an electricity substation. The substation was segregated from the site and surrounding area by a 2.1m high palisade fence.
The site was bound to the east by Eagle Avenue, beyond which was Great Bear Distribution Centre, to the south by Bear Way, beyond which was ‘Site A’ with associated balancing pond, to the west by Stoke Road, beyond which was a grassed field with associated balancing pond and to the north by Magnetic Park – Site C (adjoined to Site B).
A hedgerow was present adjacent to the western and southern boundaries of the site, with a number of semi-mature trees also present adjacent to the southwest of the site.

View looking northwest across the site. Soil mound in the northeast of the site, facing southwest.
Substation in the southeast of the site.
2.2 Site Proposals
The proposals for the site comprise the construction of a single-storey warehouse with associated open plan offices in the south and production area in the west, loading bays to the north of the site and parking to the south. Areas of possible landscaping are shown to the east and west of the warehouse building and to the southeast of the parking area. An area of possible future expansion is also shown to the west of the existing building. The proposals are shown on Drawing No’s 3913/SK321 (Rev J) dated 26th August 2015 and 3913/SK330 (Rev E) dated 17th November 2015, by Hampton Brook. Copies of these are presented in Appendix A.
3.0 DESK STUDY INFORMATION
The desk study findings are summarised below with the full Groundsure Report and selected Historical Ordnance Survey Maps included in Appendix B. The desk study information includes the area to the north known as Magnetic Park – Site C.
• 1886 – Site and surrounding area are agricultural fields. Site is bound to Site History the west by a road, orientated northeast – southwest. Midland railway line is located approximately 420m south. • 1899 – Old Quarry Water Works is located approximately 500m south. • 1924 – The Old Quarry to the south is no longer shown. The railway to the south is now ‘London, Midland and Scottish Railway’. • 1938 – One square shaped building is shown in the north of the site with two further buildings adjacent to the north on ‘Site C’. • 1950 – An ironstone quarry is present to the east of the site, located approximately 25m at its closest point. • 1969 – The ironstone quarry to the east is no longer shown. The road bounding the site to the west is now Stoke Road. An electricity substation is located approximately 20m west. Fibre Board Container Factory is located approximately 35m west, with associated tanks. A disused camp site is located approximately 170m northwest.

• 1991 – The disused camp site is now occupied by several rectangular buildings. • 2005 – Eastwood & Partners Site Investigation Report indicates the presence of farm buildings in the north of the site. • 2010 - The substation to the west is no longer shown. The buildings and factory to the northwest of the site form Millbuck Industrial Estate. Industrial development has taken place to the east of the site. • 2014 - Further development has taken place to the east including an access road, which now bounds the east of the site. • No further significant changes to present day. • Published BGS Map indicates that the site is underlain by Glacial Till Anticipated deposits. Solid geology of the Northampton Sand Formation and the Geology and Whitby Mudstone Formation (formerly the Upper Lias Clay) is anticipated Ground beneath. Conditions • Previous ground investigations were undertaken on the site by Eastwood & Partners in November 2005 and by Applied Geology in May 2006. The ground conditions encountered on the site generally comprised a relatively thin layer of Topsoil/Made Ground, overlying Glacial Till comprising, firm becoming very stiff with depth, slightly sandy slightly gravelly clay to a depth of between 1.8m and 4.9m bgl. The Northampton Sand Formation was encountered below the Glacial Till from a depth of between 1.8m and 4.9m, proven to a depth of 5.8m (base of the holes) and comprised orange/brown slightly silty gravelly sand and very weak sandstone, with the gravel comprising fine to coarse angular ironstone and sandstone. Three trial pits undertaken to the southeast of the site boundary (specifically to the southeast of a former hedge line shown on Eastwood & Partners Exploratory Hole Location Plan, re 27097/FIGI) recorded fill material, comprising stiff grey-brown gravelly clay and orange-brown gravelly sand, with the gravel comprising chalk, flint, limestone and sandstone. From this, it was inferred that the highwall/ western extent of the ironstone quarry, encroached marginally on to the site in the southeast though the proposed building is not affected by the area of deeper fill. Relevant logs from these ground investigations are presented in Appendix B with the approximate locations included on the exploratory hole location plan in Appendix A. Applied Geology recorded Made Ground up to 8.0m bgl to the east of the site in the backfilled quarry. • A ground investigation was undertaken to the south of the site on an area known as ‘Site A’, by Wardell Armstrong in February 2009. This site was previously part of the ironstone quarry and as a result, the ground conditions comprised deeper Made Ground. The Made Ground was encountered to a depth of between 1.5m and 9.8m bgl and comprised firm gravelly clay with occasional lenses of gravelly sand, the gravel comprising chalk, chert, ironstone and mudstone. The natural strata comprised Glacial Till to between 3.7m and 4.5m bgl, over the Northampton Sand Formation to between 8.3m and 13.5m bgl, over the Upper Lias Clay, which comprised stiff to very stiff dark grey slightly gravelly silty clay. • Site is in a radon affected area, with between 5% and 10% of homes above the Action Level. Basic radon protection measures are therefore considered necessary for new properties. • The GroundSure report indicates the ironstone quarry from the 1950’s to Mining/Quarrying be 185m to the southeast. The British Steel mining plans and exploratory hole location plan within the Eastwood & Partners report and presented in part in Appendix B, show the boundary of the quarry to encroach onto the site in the southeast by ~5m. The approximate location of the former hedge line at the western boundary of the former quarry is shown on Applied Geology Drawing No. AG2456-16-01 Rev 1 in Appendix A. • A Johnson Poole and Bloomer identified Mining area is located within 1000m of the site. • Site not in area associated with natural cavity formation. • No surface watercourses within 500m of the site. The River Isle is located Hydrology 1.9km south. One unnamed surface water feature within 250m of the site, located 37m south. Two further surface water features, ‘issues’ are

located 0.7km north and flow east and north to River Nene (east) and welland (north). • No water quality data available. • There are no surface water abstractions within 500m of site. • There are two licensed discharge consents within 500m of the site, the closest being located 65m west, associated with sewage discharges. • The site is outside of any floodplain. • The Glacial Till underlying the site is a Secondary (undifferentiated) Hydrogeology Aquifer, The Northampton Sand Formation is a Secondary A Aquifer and the Whitby Mudstone Formation is Unproductive Strata. • No groundwater abstraction licenses within 2000m of the site. • Site is not within the Total Catchment Zone for potable water supply. • Likely groundwater flow direction is to the south, following the topography. • No landfills or licensed waste sites within 250m. The nearest landfill to the Other site is a historical landfill, located 470m south, associated with inert Environmental waste, for which the license was surrendered in August 1991. data • 18 current industrial land usages within 250m, the closest being an electricity substation adjacent to the site to the southeast. • No recorded petrol/fuel sites within 250m. • Two recorded pollution incidents within 250m, the closest being a Category 4 (No impact), 14m Northwest in December 2002. A Category 2 (significant impact to water) occurred 84m west, 84m west. • One environmentally sensitive ecological designation within 500m, associated with Ancient Replanted Woodland, 458m north.
4.0 CONCEPTUAL SITE MODEL
4.1 Diagrammatical Illustration
The Conceptual Model for the site, showing the main elements of the surface and subsurface conditions and including the potential contaminant sources, pathways and receptors identified from the desk study information is presented in Appendix A as Drawing No AG2456-16-02 Rev 2 The potential sources, pathways and receptors are defined in the following sections:
4.2 Sources
• Made Ground soils on site associated with the historical site development (mainly in respect of infilled quarry); • Spillages of fuels/oils on site from historic vehicle trafficking; • On-site ground gases associated with decomposition of organic material in Made Ground and deep Made Ground, used to backfill quarry (if present); • Sulphates in Made Ground or underlying natural strata; • Hydrocarbon spillages and tanks from industrial usage to the east and west of the site; • Off-site – gas resulting from deep Made Ground from backfilled quarry. • Radon – on site.
4.3 Pathways
• Human dermal contact; • Human ingestion via soil directly; • Human inhalation of dust or vapours; • Leaching and/or migration through permeable soils (granular Made Ground and/or Northampton Sand Formation); • Direct contact with buried concrete/water supply services.
AG2456-16-Z34-Issue 3 APPLiED GEOLOGY

4.4 Receptors
• End users, workers (Human Health); • Glacial Till – Secondary (undifferentiated) Aquifer, Northampton Sand Formation – Secondary A Aquifer (Controlled Waters); • Buried foundation/substructure concrete (Building Materials); • Water supply services (Building Materials).
4.5 Source/Pathway/Receptor Linkage and Assessed Risk
Source-pathway-receptor (SPR) linkages are tabulated below together with the qualitatively assessed risk. The risk to ground workers and construction workers is not included here due to the short-term exposure times that they will be subject to and the assumption that good hygiene practices will be adopted on site and the appropriate use of relevant PPE/RPE will be adhered to when exposed to potentially contaminated soils. Comments regarding contamination issues with respect to ground workers and construction workers are included in the health and safety section of the Standard Procedures included as Appendix F.

* Definition of Risk Categories Negligible - Contaminants that might have unacceptable impact on key receptors, are unlikely to be present, or, no pathway is envisaged. Low Risk: Contaminants may be present but are unlikely to be at levels to have unacceptable impact on key receptors, or pathways are likely to be minimal. Medium Risk: Contaminants are probably present and might have an unacceptable impact on key receptors. Pathways may also be present therefore remedial measures may be necessary to reduce the risks. High Risk – Contaminants probably or certainly present and pathways are probably also present. Therefore, contaminants are likely to have an unacceptable impact on key receptors and remedial measures are likely to be necessary to reduce the risks to acceptable levels.
5.0 GROUND INVESTIGATION WORKS
5.1 Fieldwork
The following scope of fieldwork was undertaken:
• 3 No 150mm diameter Cable Percussion boreholes (ref. BH1B to BH3B) to depths of between 3.68m and 4.79m below ground level (bgl); • 12 No Machine Excavated Trial Pits (ref. TP1B to TP12B) to depths of between 1.5m and 3.7m bgl; • 5 No TRL DCP tests (ref TRL1 to TRL5).
During drilling, ‘undisturbed’ thin walled 100mm diameter UT100 samples were taken at regular intervals in the cohesive soils. The borehole and trial pit records are included in Appendix C along with the SPT calibration certificate.
Five TRL DCP (TRL1 to TRL5) tests were conducted to depths of between 845 and 900mm bgl in the locations of proposed parking and loading bays. The results of these tests are presented in Appendix D.
The locations of the exploratory holes were selected and set out on site by Applied Geology Limited and these were constrained by the presence of underground supply services along the eastern edge of the site. The sampling strategy for the exploratory hole locations was to provide best overall coverage by filling gaps from the previous ground investigations. The boreholes were located over the proposed building footprint for geotechnical purposes and the trial pits were located to obtain samples for subsequent contamination analysis and to define the edge of the quarry ‘high wall’.
The ground levels and positions of the exploratory holes were surveyed in by specialist contractor Midland Surveys Ltd and are presented on Drawing No. AG2456-16-01 Rev 2, in Appendix A.
5.2 Instrumentation and Monitoring
On completion of boring, 50mm diameter standpipes were installed in selected boreholes as follows, with further details included in the relevant borehole logs in Appendix C:
• BH1B, 1.0 to 4.0m bgl, in Glacial Till; • BH2B, 2.0 to 4.5m bgl in Glacial Till; • BH3B, 1.0 to 3.0m bgl in Glacial Till.
AG2456-16-Z34-Issue 3 APPLiED GEOLOGY
Page 8 Magnetic Park – Site B, Desborough
Washed silica gravel (6-10mm) was used as the filter medium and a 650 micron filter sock was wrapped around the slotted section of the standpipe. Each standpipe was fitted with a push-in bung and single gas tap and was finished with flush metal cover concreted in place.
Ground gas and groundwater monitoring visits were undertaken on 4 occasions between 26th May 2016 and 5th July 2016 including during 3 periods of low atmospheric pressure. Each monitoring well was monitored for concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, oxygen, flow rates and differential pressures and water level. The monitoring results are included in Appendix D.
5.3 Laboratory Testing
Geotechnical laboratory testing was undertaken on selected samples and comprised the following:
• 5 No natural moisture content tests; • 5 No Atterberg limit tests; • 2 No quick undrained triaxial tests; • 3 No one dimensional consolidation tests; • 6 No BRE SD1 greenfield with pyrite suite tests; • 1 No 4.5kg compaction test with CBRs at 3No. compaction points; • 1 No particle density test.
As no obvious evidence of contamination was encountered, a general suite of chemical testing was undertaken with eight samples analysed for the following suite of contaminants:
• Selected metals suite [arsenic, cadmium, chromium (total), copper, mercury, nickel, lead, zinc, selenium]; • Speciated (16 US EPA) Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH); • pH; • Soluble sulphate; • Organic matter; • Asbestos.
In addition, five samples were submitted for chromium hexavalent and trivalent and phenols (total) and four samples were submitted for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (Criteria Working Group) testing.
Laboratory test results are included in Appendix E.
6.0 GROUND CONDITIONS
6.1 Strata Encountered - General
Up to 1.5m of Made Ground (including disturbed/reworked material) has been encountered overlying Glacial Till, which in turn overlay the Northampton Sand Formation. The base of the Northampton Sand Formation was not proven and so the Whitby Mudstone Formation was not encountered. It is noted that there is an increase in the thickness of the Made Ground along the southeastern boundary of the site and parallel to the location of the former hedge line/assumed top of the
APPLiED GEOLOGY AG2456-16-Z34-Issue 3
Magnetic Park – Site B, Desborough Page 9
former quarry highwall. Full details of the strata encountered are given on the trial pit and borehole records presented in Appendix C. A generalised ground profile is presented below to summarise the information and includes information from the previous ground investigations.

6.2 Near Surface Disturbed/Reworked Material
Topsoil was recorded during the previous investigations in 2005 and 2006 to a depth of between 0.05m and 0.4m bgl. It is understood from the Client that the site was completely stripped of natural Topsoil as the surrounding area was developed in around 2008 as part of reprofiling of the wider site area. As part of the recent investigation an organic rich layer of disturbed/reworked soil was recorded from surface at 13 of the 15 exploratory holes, (not present within TP10B and TP12B) to depths of between 0.2m and 0.8m bgl. The strata comprised soft brown gravelly clay with rootlets particularly near surface, with the gravel comprising fine to coarse subangular to angular flint and subrounded chalk. Brick, concrete and tarmacadam fragments were recorded in TP3B, TP4B and TP8B and rubber fragments in TP5B.
6.3 Made Ground
With the exception of the southeast section of the site, (TP3B, TP10B, TP11B and BH3B) and locally around TP7B within the centre of the site, Made Ground was generally absent, other than a near surface layer of disturbed/partly organic rich Made Ground as described above.
TP7B and TP9B recorded Made Ground to a depth of 0.8m bgl, comprising orange/brown slightly clayey gravelly fine to coarse sand, with the gravel comprising fine to coarse subangular to angular ironstone.
Made Ground was also recorded in the southeast of the site (BH3B, TPs 3B, 6B, 10B, and 11B), to a depth of between 0.8m and 1.7m bgl and increased in thickness towards the southeast of the site. The Made Ground here generally comprised firm and stiff, orange-brown and brown gravelly clay, with gravel comprising fine to coarse subangular to angular ironstone and chalk, with occasional wood fragments recorded in TP11B. A layer of orange-brown gravelly
AG2456-16-Z34-Issue 3 APPLiED GEOLOGY
Page 10 Magnetic Park – Site B, Desborough
clay was recorded below the clay in TP10B (0.25m in thickness) and TP11B (0.55m in thickness) and below the organic Made Ground in BH3B (0.5m in thickness), with the gravel comprising fine to coarse subangular to angular ironstone. This Made Ground is to the west of and approximately parallel to the assumed top of the quarry high wall defined on historic plans as being along the former hedge which crossed this part of the site. The increased depth of Made Ground in this area may indicate that the margins of the former quarry above the worked ironstone horizon extended slightly into this area.
A trial pit (TP12B) was undertaken on the stockpile, located in the northeast of the site and comprised Made Ground, comprising a grey sandy gravel over brown gravelly fine to coarse sand, with the gravel comprising fine to coarse sub-angular to angular limestone, quartzite and brick fragments.
A compaction study was undertaken on a composite sample from this stockpile (at 0.5m and 1.5m bgl) using a 2.5kg rammer. The results are summarised in the table below.
Parameter Result
Particle Density (Mg/m3) (measured) 2.61
Moisture Content (%) 13 Optimum Moisture Content (%) 13.1 Maximum Dry Density (Mg/m3) 1.89 CBR at Optimum Moisture Content (%) 11
The results of particle size distribution tests undertaken on each sample within the composite sample, indicates the soils to comprise clayey/silty (14.6 – 16.1% passing the 63μm sieve), slightly sandy (26.4 – 28.5%), gravel (55.4 – 57.9%). The results indicate that the stockpiled soils to be characterized as class 2C/1A, stony cohesive material/well graded granular material, as defined by the Specification for Highway Works.
The results of an Atterberg limit test undertaken on the sample, indicated a corrected plasticity index of 9%, indicating the soils to be of low shrinkability, as defined by NHBC standards. Uncorrected plastic limit of 19%, liquid limit of 45% and moisture content of 13% were also recorded.
6.4 Glacial Till
Strata representing Glacial Till Deposits were recorded within all exploratory holes below the Made Ground (where encountered), from a depth of between 0.2m and 1.7m bgl, and the base proven to a depth of between 1.8m and 4.45m bgl. The strata generally thickened towards the north and comprised firm becoming stiff, occasionally closely fissured, brown and blue/grey becoming dark grey and dark brown with depth, gravelly clay, with the gravel comprising fine to coarse subrounded chalk, subangular to angular flint and occasional limestone. Occasional sandstone cobbles were recorded in TP19 (E&P 2005) from 1.0m to 3.0m bgl. Occasional fine to medium sand sized selenite crystals were encountered throughout. Sand laminations were encountered within in the Till in TP3 from 2.9m to 3.1m (base of the hole) and in TP4 from 1.8m to 2.0m.
APPLiED GEOLOGY AG2456-16-Z34-Issue 3
Magnetic Park – Site B, Desborough Page 11
Six Atterberg limit tests have been carried out on samples of the Glacial Till during the current phase of works and three during Eastwood and Partners investigation in 2005. The results have indicated corrected plasticity indices between of 18% and 44% (but generally between 18% and 29%) indicating these soils to be of low to medium shrinkability, with one sample tested indicating high shrinkability from TP19 (E&P 2005) as defined by NHBC Standards. Uncorrected plastic limits of between 19% and 29%, liquid limits of between 38% and 73% and natural moisture contents of between 13% and 36% were also recorded. The results indicate the clays to be of generally of low to medium plasticity and have consistency index values of between 0.84 and 1.17, suggesting stiff to very stiff soils, which is consistent with the visual assessment.
Uncorrected SPT ‘N’ values of between N=14 and N=38 were recorded in the Glacial Till, suggesting undrained shear strengths of between approximately 70 and 2 200kN/m , that is medium to very high strength based on an f1 of 5.2 (average corrected plasticity index of 21%). The SPT ‘N’ value vs depth plot shows an increase in strength with depth. Hand shear vane test results of between 70 and >130kN/m2 were recorded in the Glacial Till, together with hand penetrometer test results of between 85 and 375kN/m2 (high to very high strength), which generally increased with depth. The laboratory tests carried out during the current ground investigation and the AG 2006 ground investigation, on ‘undisturbed samples’ recorded undrained shear strengths of 132kN/m2 to 260kN/m2 (high to very high strength) in the 1.2m to 3.2m bgl depth range.
The results of the oedometer testing, indicate mv values of between 0.05 and 2 0.2m /MN (low to medium compressibility) for the po’ to po’+100 pressure range. 2 These are comparable to mv values of between 0.05 and 0.13m /MN based on the relationship between SPT ‘N’ value and plasticity index.
6.5 Northampton Sand Formation
Strata representing the Northampton Sand Formation were recorded below the Glacial Till from a depth of between 1.8m and 4.9m bgl to between 2.9m and 5.8m bgl (the base of the holes). The strata comprised extremely weak orange/brown ironstone, recovered as fine to coarse subangular to angular sandy gravel, and had weathered to a very dense yellow/brown gravelly fine to coarse sand, with the gravel comprising ironstone and sandstone.
Uncorrected SPT N values of between N=50 and N>250 (extrapolated from 50 blows) were recorded in the Northampton Sand Formation, indicating very dense soil to very weak rock (after Stroud 1989).
6.6 Contamination
No visual or olfactory evidence of contamination was identified within the exploratory holes.
6.7 Groundwater
Groundwater was not recorded during the excavation or drilling of any of the exploratory holes. During the subsequent monitoring visits groundwater was only encountered in BH1B. The standpipes in BH2B and BH3B remained dry. The

Page 12 Magnetic Park – Site B, Desborough
groundwater in BH1B gradually decreased over the monitoring period from a depth of 0.44m bgl (26th May 2016) to a depth of 2.1m bgl (5th July 2016), suggesting that the groundwater level had not reached equilibrium during the monitoring period.
6.8 Soil Gas
Four phases of ground gas monitoring have been undertaken as part of this investigation, the results of which are included in Appendix C. Methane concentrations of less than 0.1% by volume were recorded. Carbon dioxide concentrations of between less than 0.1% and 0.3% (by volume) were recorded along with ‘near normal’ oxygen concentrations of between 20.8% and 21.1%. Flow readings were taken over a three minute period, reporting average flow rates of less than 0.1% in all boreholes on three out of the four visits and a maximum average flow rate of 1.2l/hour in BH3B on only one occasion, which corresponded with the monitoring visit undertaken with the lowest atmospheric pressure.
Based on the worst case average gas flow and the peak methane and peak carbon dioxide readings, gas screening values have been calculated in accordance with CIRIA C665 for methane of 0.0012l/hr and for carbon dioxide of 0.0036l/hr.
7.0 GEOENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
7.1 Human Health Risk Assessment
The results of the chemical testing on soils have been assessed as described in Appendix F, with specific details as follows:
• Proposed end-use – offices/warehouse; • Screening criteria – commercial/industrial, assuming 1% SOM; • Assuming a single dataset based on the size of the site, the site’s history, current land-use and the proposed redevelopment.
A spreadsheet summarising the laboratory results and relevant screening values for each dataset are presented in Appendix E. From the table it can be seen that none of the results of the testing for the proposed development exceed the relevant screening value. PAHs were predominantly below the laboratory detection limits.
The results of the TPH testing have indicated all concentrations below the laboratory detection limits.
The Asbestos screening tests did not detect the presence of any Asbestos fibres.
Based on the above findings and assessment, it is considered that the site presents a negligible risk to human health.
7.2 Controlled Waters Risk Assessment
Limited depths of Made Ground were encountered during the ground investigation and no obvious sources were identified within the desk study or during the fieldwork. The Glacial Till Deposits (Secondary Undifferentiated Aquifer) were encountered beneath. These cohesive soils will also limit vertical migration. The testing on soils has found no elevated concentrations of contaminants and as a
APPLiED GEOLOGY AG2456-16-Z34-Issue 3
Magnetic Park – Site B, Desborough Page 13
result, there is considered to be no source or pathway, and hence, there is no pollutant linkage.
Based on the context of the site and the proposed redevelopment, there is considered to be a negligible risk to Controlled Waters.
7.3 Conclusions and Recommendations
The above risk assessments have established a negligible risk to human health and controlled water receptors. It is therefore considered that further assessment or remedial actions are not warranted for this redevelopment.
Issues with respect to ground gas and potential effects of contaminants on buried concrete and water supply pipework are included in Section 8.0.
8.0 GEOTECHNICAL ASSESSMENT
8.1 General
The proposals for the site comprise construction of a single-storey warehouse with associated open plan offices in the south and production area in the west, loading bays to the north of the site and parking to the south. No proposed loads were available at the time of reporting.
The investigations have identified Made Ground (up to 1.7m in thickness thickening towards the southeast) over firm becoming stiff gravelly clays (Glacial Till Deposits). The upper parts of the Made Ground beneath a surface cover of vegetation in places were noted to be rich in organic material in places near surface and may represent near surface soils disturbed during previous earthworks with some organic material developed due to vegetation over subsequent years. As a result, some of this material may be unsuitable for re-use in construction or as a formation for pavement construction, subject to visual inspection of organic content and possible further testing. The Northampton Sand Formation was encountered in the Cable Percussion boreholes of the current investigation from a depth of between 3.0m and 4.45m bgl and comprised an extremely weak orange/brown Ironstone, which had weathered to a gravelly sand in the upper horizons. Groundwater was encountered during the monitoring of BH1B from a depth of 0.44m bgl (1st visit), falling to 2.1m bgl (4th visit), however it is likely that the groundwater level in this borehole had not reached equilibrium during the monitoring period.
8.2 Foundation Design
It is considered that the Glacial Till Deposits underlying the site are suitable to support conventional strip/trench fill or pad foundations. These must be placed below any Made Ground or disturbed ground encountered to a maximum depth of 1.7m bgl in the southeast of the site. The maximum depth of the Made Ground over the proposed building footprint was 1.2m bgl, in the southeast of the building.
A minimum founding depth of 1.0m will apply to the site to allow for seasonal effects. Strip/trench fill (up to 1m wide) and pad foundations (up to 2m x 2m) competently designed to the above requirements may adopt safe net design bearing pressures up to 160kN/m2. This is based on a minimum shear strength of
AG2456-16-Z34-Issue 3 APPLiED GEOLOGY
Page 14 Magnetic Park – Site B, Desborough
70kN/m2 using traditional methods of bearing capacity calculations e.g. as set out in Tomlinson 7th Edition and a factor of safety of 3 against bearing capacity failure.
Deeper Made Ground was encountered in the southeast of the proposed building. Foundations here will require deepening to circa 1.2m bgl and founded into the underlying Glacial Till Deposits.
Deepening of foundations along the west of the building footprint may be required with respect to the semi-mature trees and hedgerow present along the western site boundary.
Whilst it does not appear that the proposed building location is underlain by the highwall of the former quarry, the exact location across the whole length of the structure is not known. If conditions, significantly at variance to those described herein are encountered, specialist geotechnical advice should be sought to make appropriate assessment and recommendations. It is recommended that an Engineer inspects the formation excavations as the fill from the backfilled quarry to the south and natural ground are very similar.
8.3 Floor Slab and Gas Protection
The existing Made Ground encountered on this site, is not suitable to adopt a ground bearing floor slab in its current state. If a ground bearing floor slab is desired however, the Made Ground should be excavated and re-compacted to an engineering specification. In order for the engineering specification to be formed, earthworks testing will be required on the Made Ground. Otherwise, a suspended floor slab is would need to be used.
Based on the conceptual model, the ground conditions encountered and the calculated GSVs, the site can be characterised as Situation 1 (CIRIA C665), therefore, no ground gas protection measures are considered necessary. However gas protection measures are required for protection against ingress of radon gas, especially in areas of offices etc.
8.4 Excavations
Excavations up to 1.2m deep, (potentially locally deeper if deeper areas of quarry infill are encountered) are envisaged for the foundation excavations and service trenches. At these depths excavations are expected to be in a combination of granular Made Ground and cohesive Glacial Till. These materials are likely to be stable in the short term and so trench support may not be required. Significant groundwater ingress is not expected, although it is recommended that some provision for obtaining sump pumping equipment is made to control any minor seepage and run off in wet weather conditions.
8.5 Pavement Design
In situ CBR testing carried out across the site has indicated in situ CBR values of between 2% and 8%, in the Made Ground. Due to the inherent variability of this strata, an equilibrium CBR value of 2% is recommended, however, this may be improved following removal of any soft/deleterious material, proof rolling and re- testing.
APPLiED GEOLOGY AG2456-16-Z34-Issue 3
Magnetic Park – Site B, Desborough Page 15
In situ CBR values of between 6% and >100%, but generally between 6% and 18% were recorded in the Glacial Till. With reference to IAN73/06 Revision 1 (2009) the plasticity index values and in situ CBR test results, a long term equilibrium CBR value of between 3% and 5% is recommended for the gravelly clay of the Glacial Till Deposits.
Based on the plasticity indices, the Glacial Till Deposits can be regarded as non- frost susceptible. Based on the visual descriptions, the Made Ground and Quarry Fill may be frost-susceptible and therefore, should not be placed within 450mm of road surface construction.
8.6 Buried Concrete and Services
The results of the testing in the soils on site indicate characteristic values as following: • water soluble sulphate: 1.8g/l (Glacial Till), 0.51g/l (Northampton Sand Formation); • total potential sulphate: 0.33% (Glacial Till), 0.24% (Northampton Sand Formation); • pH: 7.9 (Glacial Till), 7.9 (Northampton Sand Formation).
The results of the sulphate tests carried out have identified the Design Sulphate Class for the Glacial Till to be DS-3 with the Aggressive Chemical Environment for Concrete (ACEC) being AC-2s as defined by the BRE Special Digest 1, Concrete Aggressive Ground, 2005 for a brownfield site and static groundwater regime. The highest value coincides with the presence of selenite noted in the Glacial Till. The results of a sulphate test undertaken on a sample of the Northampton Sand Formation has indicated a Design Sulphate Class of DS-2 and ACEC AC-1s Further reference should be made to BRE Special Digest 1 for requirements in respect of types of cement and aggregate to be used and variations in type of concrete construction.
8.7 Conclusions and Recommendations
The cohesive Glacial Till present beneath the site are considered suitable for the use of conventional strip and pad foundations designed to an allowable bearing pressure of up to 160kN/m2. Foundations should be placed at a minimum depth of 1.0m bgl to allow for seasonal effects, however foundations will require deepening where deeper Made Ground was encountered in the southeast of the site to circa 1.2m bgl. Made Ground thickness could be greater in other areas and inspection of foundation formations is recommended prior to placement of concrete to ensure foundations are placed in appropriate strata.
A ground bearing floor slab may be adopted if the Made Ground is excavated and the slab placed on re-engineered fill. Protection measures against radon gas are considered necessary.
Sulphate resisting concrete appropriate to DS-3 and AC-2s conditions is likely to be required.

GENERAL NOTES
A) The assessment made in this report is based on the site terrain and ground conditions revealed by the various field investigations undertaken and also any other relevant data for the site including previous site investigation reports (if available) and desk study data. There may be special conditions appertaining to the site, however, which have not been revealed by the investigation and which have not, therefore, been taken into account in the report. The assessment may be subject to amendment in the light of additional information becoming available. It must be recognised that many of the Environmental Searches obtained during the course of the desk study are often lengthy. Applied Geology have, where appropriate and in the interests of simplicity, only reproduced the summary of the searches within the report. A full copy of all the search data is held at the Applied Geology office and is available for inspection if required.
B) The services provided are defined within our proposal and are carried out in line with the terms of appointment between Applied Geology and the Client.
C) Where any data supplied by the Client or other external source, including that from previous site investigations, has been used it has been assumed that the information is correct. No responsibility can be accepted by Applied Geology for inaccuracies within this data.
D) Whilst the report may express an opinion on possible configurations of strata between or beyond the exploratory locations, or on the possible presence of features based on either visual, verbal or published evidence this is for guidance only and no liability can be accepted for the accuracy.
E) Comments on groundwater (and landfill gas) conditions are based on observations made during the course of the present and past investigations or with reference to published data unless otherwise stated. It should be noted, however, that groundwater (and landfill gas) levels vary due to seasonal (or atmospheric conditions) or other effects.
F) The copyright of this report and other plans (and documents prepared by Applied Geology) is owned by Applied Geology and no such report, plan or document may be reproduced, published or adapted without the written consent of Applied Geology. Complete copies of the report may, however, be made and distributed by the Client as an expedient in dealing with matters related to its submission.
G) This report is prepared and written in the context of the proposals stated in the introduction to the report and should not be used in a differing context. Furthermore, new information, improved practices and legislation may necessitate an alteration to the report in whole or in part after its submission. Therefore with any change in circumstances or after the expiry of one year from the date of the report, the report should be referred to Applied Geology for re-assessment and if necessary, re- appraisal.
H) The survey was conducted and this report was prepared for the sole internal use and reliance of the Client. This report shall not be relied upon or transferred to any other parties without the express written authorisation of Applied Geology. If an unauthorised third party comes into possession of this report they rely on it at their peril and Applied Geology owes them no duty of care and skill.
I) Ground conditions should be monitored during the construction of the works and the recommendations of the report re- evaluated in the light of this data by the supervising geotechnical or geo-environmental engineers.
J) Unless specifically stated, the investigation has not taken into account the possible effects of mineral extraction.
K) The works performed are not a comprehensive site characterisation and should not be construed as being such.
L) The findings of the geo-environmental risk assessment are based on information obtained from a variety of sources which Applied Geology believe to be correct. Applied Geology cannot and does not guarantee the authenticity or reliability of the information it has relied upon.
M) The report represents the findings and opinions of experienced geo-environmental consultants. Applied Geology does not provide legal advice and the advice of lawyers may be required.
N) Conditions at the site are subject to change from the time of the site inspection.
O) It is possible that researches carried out by Applied Geology, whilst fully appropriate for a phase 1 desk study, failed to indicate the existence of important information sources. Assuming such indicators actually exist, their information could not have been considered in the formulation of Applied Geology findings and opinions.
P) The economic viability of the proposals referred to in the report, or of the solutions put forward to any problems encountered, depends on very many factors in addition to geotechnical considerations and hence its evaluation is outside the scope of this report.
Q) Applied Geology operates as a Consultancy and does not operate it's own laboratory for soil testing, this work being sub contracted to known and respected, generally UKAS accredited, laboratories. Applied Geology can therefore not be held responsible for the testing carried out.
