1. Introduction
This report presents the results of a preliminary geotechnical investigation carried out at 1856 Notion Road in
Pickering, Ontario. The work was authorized by Ms. Kristy Shortall of Metropia.
The project consists of constructing a mix of traditional and back-to-back townhouse units and the associated
roads and utility services. Details about the type of structures, their foundations and loads imposed were not
available at the time of the preparation of this report. In addition, an Open Space/Park Block with an area of
4,877.5 m² is proposed at the east end of the townhouse complex.
The purpose of this preliminary geotechnical investigation was to determine the subsurface soil and groundwater
conditions at the above captioned site and, based on an assessment of the factual borehole and test pit data, to
provide preliminary geotechnical engineering recommendations for the design and construction of the proposed
development.
The comments and recommendations given in this report assume that the above described design concept will
proceed into construction. If changes are made either in the design phase or during construction, this office
must be retained to review these modifications. The result of this review may be a modification of our
recommendations or it may require additional field or laboratory work to check whether the changes are
acceptable from a geotechnical viewpoint.

3. Regional Geology
Review of geologic information available for the area indicates that the subject site is in the general
physiographical region known as the Iroquois Plain which is underlain by former glacial Lake Iroquois deposits.
The abandoned old shoreline of post-glacial Lake Iroquois, formed as the last glaciers withdrew from the region
about 10,000 years ago, lies about 10 km inland from the present Lake Ontario shoreline. The wave-washed
Iroquois Plain is characterized by gently rolling, bevelled till plains with flat sand and clay plain areas that formed
as lake bed deposits in Lake Iroquois.
The deposits of Lake Iroquois are relatively recent in geological terms and where the stratified silts and clays of
Lake Iroquois occur, their bearing resistance is limited since these deposits were not overridden by glacial ice
and are, therefore, not preconsolidated.
The fine-grained deep-water deposits are of limited extent, generally located in depressions between drumlin
ridges on the surface of the Leaside Till. The Leaside Till is characterized as silty sand soils with relatively high
percentage of clay-size particles (around 20% to 30%). These deposits are pre-consolidated and generally
provide satisfactory foundation conditions. Discontinuous lenses of sand and gravel may be encountered within
the till but are not common. In excavations, limited flows of ground water may be encountered in these lenses
and large boulders are expected to be prevalent. (Ontario Geological Survey – Report 46).

4. Previous Geotechnical Investigation
Two previous geotechnical investigations were carried out at the site in November 2006 and March 2007 by
Toronto Inspection Ltd titled ”Proposed Retail, Pickering Parkway & Notion Road, Pickering, Ontario” and
“Additional Geotechnical Investigation, Pickering Parkway & Notion Road, Pickering, Ontario”. The findings of
the investigations were documented in reports references as Report No: 1820-06-G-BRA-C dated November 24,
2006 and 1820-07-G-BRA-D dated March 12, 2007.
Seventeen (17) boreholes were drilled for the above investigations to depths of about 6.6 to 15.4 metres below
existing grade. The boreholes encountered 0.5 to 2.6 m thick fill underlain by native deposits of sand, clayey silt,
silty clay, sand and silt, and sandy silt till. Groundwater levels ranged from 1.6 to 5.4 metres below existing
grade.

5. Field Work
The fieldwork for the geotechnical investigation was carried out between August 2 and September 22, 2017.
The investigation included twenty-six (26) boreholes (numbered BH301 to BH322, BH301A, BH311A, BH314A,
and BH318A) were advanced to depths of approximately 3.7 to 15.9 metres below existing grade at the locations
indicated on the attached Borehole Location Plan (Drawing No. 1, Appendix A).
The boreholes were advanced using a track-mounted drill rig equipped with continuous flight, hollow stem
augering equipment and standard soil sampling equipment. All equipment was owned and operated by a
specialist drilling contractor.
The field work was conducted under the supervision of a qualified member of our geotechnical engineering staff.
The field technician examined, classified and recorded the soils encountered in the boreholes, including the
presence of fill materials; made groundwater observations during and upon completion of the drilling; recorded
observations of borehole construction, and processed the recovered samples. Representative samples of the
overburden were recovered at frequent depth intervals for identification purposes using a conventional split
spoon sampler or ‘Shelby’ tubes. Standard Penetration Tests were carried out simultaneously with the sampling
operations. In addition, in-situ Field Vane Tests were performed to assess the shear strength characteristics of
the cohesive substrata.
Water levels were observed in the open boreholes during the fieldwork. In addition, monitoring wells were
installed in fourteen (14) boreholes to establish the short term stabilized groundwater levels at the site. The
monitoring wells were installed in accordance with the Ontario Water Resources Act, R.R.O. 1990, Ontario
Regulation (O. Reg.) 903 – Amended to O. Reg. 128/03.
All recovered soil samples were logged in the field, carefully packaged and transported to the laboratory for more
detailed examination and classification. In the laboratory, the samples were classified as to their olfactory, visual
and textural characteristics.
The location and ground surface elevation of the boreholes were determined in the field by exp. Ground surface
elevations at the borehole locations were derived from Can-Net Elevations with the use of a Trimble TSC3
Controller.

6. Subsurface Conditions
The detailed soil profile encountered in the boreholes and the results of laboratory moisture content testing are
indicated on the attached borehole logs (Drawing No. 5 to 30, inclusive in Appendix C). They include textural
descriptions of the subsoil at each location along with the other results of the field-testing program.
It should be noted that the soil boundaries indicated on the borehole logs are inferred from non-continuous
sampling and observations during drilling. These boundaries are intended to reflect transition zones for the
geotechnical design and should not be interpreted as exact planes of geological change. The “Notes on Sample
Descriptions” preceding the borehole logs are an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with this
report.
The stratigraphy at the site, as revealed in the sampling completed within the boreholes, is generally comprised
of a surficial topsoil layer underlain by fill overlying native deposits of sandy silt, clayey silt, sandy silty clay / silty
clay, silt, silt till, sandy silt till, and sand.
A brief description of the soil profile, in general order of depth (listed in metres below grade, unless otherwise
noted), follows:
Topsoil
Topsoil was encountered at surface at Boreholes 301 to 309, 311, 312, 317, and 322. The thickness of the
topsoil ranged from 20 to 150 mm thick. The topsoil was dark brown in colour and contained organic matter.
It should be noted that the thickness and composition of topsoil can vary greatly across a site. The thicknesses
shown on the borehole logs are based on localized information and should not be used for estimation purposes
(i.e. cut/fill quantities, etc.). A test pit investigation is recommended if accurate quantities are required for
budgeting purposes.
Fill
Fill was encountered at the surface of Boreholes 310 and 313 to 315, and below the topsoil in Boreholes 301,
302, 304, 305, 307, 309, 311, 312. The fill extended to depths of between approximately 0.7 metres and 5.1
metres. The fill generally comprised dark brown to grey sand to clayey silt with trace gravel. Organic matter and
rootlets were noted within the upper zone of the fill. The moisture conditions encountered revealed that the fill
was moist to wet with the natural moisture contents of the recovered samples ranging between 7 and 26%. The
inferred thickness of the fill is shown on Drawing No.2 (Appendix A) attached to this report.
Sandy Silt
A discontinuous sandy silt layer was contacted below the topsoil in Borehole 306. The sandy silt layer contained
some clay and trace gravel. Organics were noted in the layer. Based on the Standard Penetration N-value of 9,
the sandy silt was loose.
The sandy silt deposit extended to a depth of 1.5 metres. The in-situ moisture content of the sample retrieved
was from 21%, indicating a wet condition.

Clayey Silt
Clayey silt was encountered at the surface in Boreholes 316, 320, and 321, below the fill in Boreholes 301, 302,
307, 309, 310, 313, 314, and 315, and the topsoil in Boreholes 303, 308, and 322. The clayey silt deposit
extended to depths of about 0.9 metres to 4.5 metres. The clayey silt was brown to grey in colour and in some
boreholes contained trace sand and gravel. Based on the field vane tests and Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
“N” values, the clayey silt was found to be firm to very stiff in consistency. The clayey silt deposits were moist,
with the natural moisture contents of the recovered samples ranging from 15 to 23%.
A second layer of clayey silt was encountered in Boreholes 315, 318, 321, and 322. The second clayey silt layer
began between approximately 4.4 to 9.0 metres and extended to depths of approximately 6.0 to 9.8 metres. The
second clayey silt layer was grey in colour and contained trace to some sand and trace gravel. The second
clayey silt layer was soft to very stiff in consistency based on the field vane tests.
Test results of the Grain Size Analyses, conducted on the select samples of the clayey silt deposit are plotted in
Figure No. 1 in Appendix E. The results revealed 0 to 3% gravel, 15 to 33% sand, 32 to 60% silt, and 23 to 39%
clay.
Silty Clay
At the surface of Boreholes 318 and 319 and underlying the sandy silt, clayey silt, or fill in all remaining boreholes
except Boreholes 303 and 313, a major deposit of silty clay was encountered throughout the site. This deposit
extended to depths of approximately 3.2 and 9.8 metres, and to the termination depth of boreholes of about 3.7
metres in Borehole 317. Based on the field vane tests, the silty clay was very soft to very stiff in consistency.
The natural moisture content ranged from 20% to 41%, indicating moist to wet conditions.
The undrained shear strength (Su) of the cohesive deposits was measured in the field using a shear vane. The
in-situ shear strength of the cohesive strata ranged from 10 kPa to >100 kPa. Detailed results of the measured
values are presented in the following Table 2.

In general, greater than 100 kPa of shear strength was measured in the firm to stiff cohesive layers (mainly
clayey silt), whereas in the very soft to soft silty clay the average in-situ shear strength was 36 kPa.
The preconsolidation pressures estimated from the in-situ shear vane tests compared with the existing effective
stresses indicate that the very soft to soft silty clay deposits are not or only marginally are preconsolidated.
Silt
Underlying the silty clay in Boreholes 304 and 312, a silt deposit was encountered, extending to depths of about
5.9 metres to 10.3 metres. The silt deposit contained trace sand and clay, and existed in a compact to very
dense state of compactness. The natural moisture contents of the silt deposit ranged from 12% to 17%,
indicated moist to wet conditions.
Test result of the Grain Size Analysis, conducted on a select sample of the silt deposit is plotted in Figure No. 2
in Appendix E. The result revealed 0% gravel, 33% sand, 58% silt, and 7% clay.

Silt Till
A silt till layer was contacted below the silty clay in Borehole 306, extending to a depth of about 12.2 metres. The
silt till contained some sand, trace to some clay, and trace gravel. Based on the Standard Penetration Test
results, the silt till existed in a compact to dense state of compactness. Moisture contents of the soil samples
obtained from this deposit was between 8% and 10%, indicating moist conditions.
Test result of Grain Size Analyses, conducted on the select samples of the silt till deposit are plotted in Figure
No. 2 in Appendix E. The results revealed 0 to 1% gravel, 17 to 18% sand, 64 to 81% silt, and 1 to 18% clay.
Sandy Silt Till / Sand and Silt Till
Below the silty clay, clayey silt, silt, or silt till, a major sandy silt to sand and silt till was encountered. This deposit
extended to depths of about 14.4 metres and 8.5 metres in Boreholes 302 and 308, respectively, and to the
termination depth of boreholes in all remaining boreholes. The sandy silt till deposit contained trace to some clay
and trace gravel. Shale fragments and wet sand layers were noted within the deposit. Based on the Standard
Penetration Test results, the sandy silt till / sand and silt till existed in a compact to very dense state of
compactness. The natural moisture contents of the deposit ranged from 4% to 21%, indicating damp to wet
conditions.
A lower sandy silt till deposit was encountered below the sand in Borehole 308 at a depth of 12.9 metres,
extending to the termination depth of borehole. The lower sandy silt till was grey in color and contained trace
clay and gravel. Based on the Standard Penetration N-value of 67, the compactness of the deposit was very
dense. The natural moisture content was 13%, indicating moist condition.
Test results of Grain Size Analyses, conducted on the select samples of the sandy silt till / sand and silt till
deposit are plotted in Figure No. 2 in Appendix E. The result revealed 0 to 4% gravel, 36 to 40% sand, 50 to
55% silt, and 3 to 10% clay.
Sand
A sand stratum was encountered below the sandy silt till in Boreholes 302 extending to the termination depth of
borehole at a depth of 15.8 m. Sand was also encountered in Borehole 308 between depths of 8.5 m and 11.9
m. The sand contained trace to some silt and trace clay. Based on the Standard Penetration N-value of 29 to
43, the compactness of the deposit was compact to dense. Moisture contents ranged from 12% to 14%,
indicating wet conditions.
Test results of Grain Size Analyses, conducted on the select samples of the sand stratum are plotted in Figure
No. 2 in Appendix E. The results revealed 0 to 2% gravel, 85 to 96% sand, and 4 to 13% silt and clay.
Groundwater
Groundwater conditions were observed in the open boreholes during the fieldwork and in fourteen (14)
monitoring wells installed in Boreholes 301A, 302, 305, 306, 307, 311A, 314, 314A, 316, 318A and 319 to 322.
Short-term groundwater measurements are included in the attached borehole logs.

Upon completion of drilling, groundwater levels were measured ranged from 0.0 to 8.2 metres in Boreholes 301,
301A, 302, 304 to 311, 312 to 316 (including 314A), 318, 318A, 319, and 322. The high groundwater levels
measured at 0.0 and 0.9 metres in Boreholes 307 and 314, respectively, were the result of drilling mud
introduced into the borehole during the drilling. The five (5) remaining boreholes remained dry. The
groundwater table in the monitoring wells was measured on August 30, 2017, on September 22, 2017 and on
October 4, 2017. On October 4, 2017, the groundwater level in the monitoring wells ranged from 0.00 to 4.50
metres. The monitoring well installed in Borehole 320 remained dry. The observed groundwater level for the
boreholes are shown in Table 3 below.

8. Engineering Discussion, Conclusions and Recommendations
8.1 General
The project consists of constructing a mix of traditional and back-to-back townhouse units and the associated
roads and utility services. Details about the type of structures, their foundations and loads imposed were not
available at the time of the preparation of this report. In addition, and Open Space/Park Block with an area of
4,877.5 m² is proposed at the east end of the townhouse complex.
Based on the results of the previous investigations, strip and/or spread footings on improved soils by pre-loading
of the site is the preferred foundation solution. This report provides recommendations for soil improvement and
subsequent foundation design with associated settlements for the proposed structures.
As identified previously, the soils in this site are generally comprised of a surficial layer of fill or native loose sand
and firm to stiff clayey silt deposits underlain by variable thickness of very soft to soft silty clay followed by
compact to very dense sandy silt till.
8.2 Building Foundation and Settlements
8.2.1 Settlement Analyses due to Pre-Loading
Drawing No.4 in Appendix A shows the inferred thicknesses of the compressible strata throughout the site.
Based on this, it appears to be that a vast area of the site in underlain by 5 to 6 m of compressible soils. For our
analyses, two soil profiles were created which, we believe, that with exception of the northeast corner of the site,
might be considered representative to the site conditions. As summarized below, Profile A characterizes a
basically 4-layer stratigraphy, in which the 6 m thick very soft to soft cohesive stratum was subdivided in
accordance with its variable compressibility. Profile B consists of 3 main strata with a 4 m thick very soft to firm
cohesive deposit, which was subdivided based on its compressibility.

Settlement analyses were carried out for both profiles under assumed preloads of 55 kPa, 75 kPa and 100 kPa,
which are equivalent to approximately 3 m, 4 m and 5.5-6 m height of earth fill. A computer program, Settle3D
(Rocscience), was employed for settlement calculation. Settle3D is a 3-dimensional program for the analysis of
vertical consolidation and settlement under foundations, embankments and surface loads. The program
combines the simplicity of one-dimensional analysis with the power and visualization capabilities of more
sophisticated three-dimensional programs. The program also calculates the time rates of the settlements. The
computer outputs are attached in Appendix F.
The results of the settlement analyses are summarized in Table 4 below.

From Table 5 above can be seen that during the 1st year after placement of the preload about 69 to 88 % of the
total settlements will develop. No significant increase of settlement would occur during the 2nd and 3rd years.
Pre-manufactured band shaped drains (wick drains) can be installed through the clay layer. It should be noted
that wick drains do not cause soil to settle more than without wicks. Rather, wick drains make the soils settle
faster by shortening the drainage path that the pore water should travel to escape.
The prefabricated wick drain material shall consist of a continuous plastic drainage core wrapped in a non-woven
geotextile material. The geotextile wrap shall be tight around the core, and shall be securely seamed in a manner
that will not introduce any new materials nor present an obstruction that will impede flow in the channels of the
core. Design guidelines for the selection of the optimum wick drain spacing can be provided if If consideration is
to be given to the installation of wick drains.
8.2.2 Shallow Foundations Following Preloading
The existing fill is not considered to be suitable bearing stratum to support the foundations of the structures.
Therefore, it should be removed and replaced by structural fill. Recommendations for structural fill placement are
provided below. The inferred thickness of the fill encountered at the site is shown on Drawing No.2 (Appendix A).
If construction of the building will start at least 1 year after the placement and removal of pre-load, then
conventional shallow footings could be established on undisturbed native soils. For preliminary design purposes,
the geotechnical resistances provided in Table 6 below can be considered at the locations where approximately
6 m thick cohesive soils are present (Profile A). Where the thickness of the very soft to soft compressible soils is
4 m or less, the geotechnical resistances given in Table 7 can be assumed.

Alternatively, each townhouse block could be supported on mat foundation. This solution becomes more
attractive if the structures extends to below the finished ground surface (i.e. are designed with at least one (1)
level of basement). For the design of a rectangular mat foundation of length equal to m*B, resting on preloaded
undisturbed native cohesive soils, the modulus of subgrade reaction can be calculated from the following
equation:
where is the coefficient of subgrade reaction of the raft width (MN/m³);
B and L are the width and length of the raft respectively (m);
m = L/B; and,
= 5 MN/m³
Exterior footings or footings in unheated areas should have an earth cover of at least 1.2m below finished grade.
Alternatively, equivalent insulation for the footings should be provided. Interior footings not subject to freezing
should be established at minimum 0.5 m below the underside of the floor slab.
Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation -
Proposed Pickering Design Centre Development
Pickering Parkway and Notion Road, Pickering, Ontario BRM-00229573-C0
18
Footing excavations should be inspected and approved by a Geotechnical Engineer during construction. All fill,
loose, soft, wet, or disturbed materials should be removed from the footing surfaces prior to placement of
concrete and reinforcing steel for footings. Any required sub-excavations should be backfilled with imported fill
materials consisting of OPSS Granular B – Type I or OPSS Select Subgrade Material.
All structural fill should be placed in 200 mm thick loose lifts and compacted to a minimum of 100% of the
material’s Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density (SPMDD) under the areas of planned foundations.
The placement of structural fill material is not recommended during freezing weather conditions (i.e. between
approximately late November and late April).
The total and differential settlements of the mat foundations designed and constructed in accordance with the
recommendations provided above should not exceed the conventional limits of 25 mm total and 20 mm
differential respectively. For spread footing reference is made to Table 6 above.
Where it is necessary to place footings at different levels, the upper footing must be founded below an imaginary
10 horizontal to 7 vertical line drawn from the base of the lower footing. The lower footing must be constructed
first to minimize the risk of undermining the upper footing.
Where construction is undertaken during winter conditions, the footing subgrade must be protected from
freezing.
Temporary dewatering of the excavations may be required. Recommendations on this regard are provided in
Section 8.4 of this report.
8.2.3 Deep Foundations
The structures could also be supported on deep foundations established within the underlying dense to very
dense sandy silt till, with or without improving the shear strength of the soft to very soft clay. If deep foundations
without soil improvement will be adopted, then the floor slabs should be designed as structural floors. The
inferred surface elevations of the compact to dense strata are provided on Drawing No. 3, Appendix A.
In the following paragraphs two (2) deep foundation options are discussed.
8.2.3.1 Augered Concrete Caissons
Augered, cast-in place drilled caissons founded at least 2 m or 2 times the caisson diameter (whichever is
greater) into the dense to very dense sandy silt till can be designed for bearing resistances of 1500 kPa and
1200 kPa at the Ultimate Limit State (U.L.S.) and Serviceability Limit State (S.L.S) respectively.
The caissons will require temporary liners for installation to help prevent the soil from caving. In addition, the
excavations of the caissons may also require the aid of drilling mud (e.g. bentonite slurry) to avoid groundwater
inflow into the temporary liner from the more pervious strata, especially when the caissons approach to the
founding depths. It is recommended that the minimum caisson diameter be not less than 900 mm. If bentonite
slurry is required for the installation of the caissons, then downhole cleaning and inspection will not be possible
Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation -
Proposed Pickering Design Centre Development

19
and the bearing level at each caisson location will have to be inferred from the increased drilling resistance. The
placement of the concrete into the caissons should be done by the tremie method. The slurry level during
placement of the concrete must be all time kept at least 3m above the bottom of the tremie to avoid “necking” of
the caissons.
It should be noted that glacial till is non-sorted sediment and therefore may contain boulders. The caisson
contractor should be made aware of this and an allowance for removing boulders should be made in the
contract.
Caisson installation operations must be inspected on full-time basis by qualified geotechnical personnel to verify
the founding stratum, the founding elevations, the alignment and the plumb of the shaft.
Caissons designed for the bearing values given above are expected to settle less than 25 mm (total) and 19 mm
(differential).
8.2.3.2 Helical Piers
Helical piers extending into the compact to very dense sandy silt tills may be considered as an alternative to
caissons.
The detailed design of the piers, including the size and shape of the shafts, depths and configurations of helical
plates, structural connections to pile cap or grade beam, bearing resistances, etc. should be carried out by
professional engineers from the specialist contractors, based on the factual data of the geotechnical
investigation provided in this report.
For estimation purposes bearing resistances of 200 - 500 kN at SLS and 270 to 670 kN at ULS at compression
can be assumed for square shaft helical piers established in the compact to dense granular strata, depending on
the shaft size. Greater bearing resistances can be used for round shaft helical piers. Helical piers groups with
battered piers can be designed to provide lateral resistance.
The actual installation depths of the piers should be determined during construction based on the measured
torque. A unit price may be included in the contract documents in case that the required helical pile length
exceeds the design length.
8.3 Excavations and Backfill
Temporary excavations for the construction of footings or for the installation of underground services must be
carried out in accordance with the latest edition of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA).
The existing topsoil, fill, loose to compact granular deposits and the firm to stiff cohesive soils are considered
Type 3 soils above the groundwater table and Type 4 soils below the groundwater table. The very soft to soft
clay strata are classified as Type 4 soils. The dense to very dense sandy silt till is deemed to be Type 2 soil
above the groundwater table and Type 3 soil below the groundwater table. Temporary unsupported excavations
in Type 2 soils can be done vertical at the bottom 1.2 m and with a slope having a minimum gradient of 1H:1V
above. In Type 3 soils the unsupported excavations must have side slopes of 1H:1V from the bottom of the
Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation -
Proposed Pickering Design Centre Development
Pickering Parkway and Notion Road, Pickering, Ontario BRM-00229573-C0
20
excavation. Unsupported excavations in Type 4 soils should be cut back to 3H:1V. However, if an excavation
contains more than one type of soil, the soil shall be classified as the type with the highest number as described
on OSHA.
If localized instability is noted during excavation or if wet conditions are encountered, then the side slopes should
be flattened to a stable configuration.
Contractors should be advised that cobbles and relatively large boulders can be expected to be present within
the till deposits.
Foundation backfill must consist of non-frost susceptible imported granular materials, such as OPSS Granular B
Type I.
8.4 Dewatering
It is anticipated that most excavations to shallow depths for foundations and utility services will remain relatively
dry with only minor infiltration and accumulation. This, and any perched water from fill or minor ground water
seepage from native soils should be possible to handle with the use of submersible pumps from conventional
sump pits. We recommend however that contingency measures be considered to depressurize localized
perched pockets of groundwater, should these conditions be encountered.
It wet conditions are observed during excavations, it may also be necessary to protect the exposed subgrade
with a working mat of lean concrete, or a layer of crushed stone to reduce the risk of disturbing and loosening of
the subgrade soils. Surface water should be directed away from the excavation.
No dilatant silts were encountered in the boreholes. However, some of the silt deposits in presence of water may
dilate and expand when excavated and agitated by construction traffic. Dilatant silts can be recognized from their
“liverish”, “jelly-like” appearance. To maintain excavation stability and to prevent dilatancy, where the dilatant silt
is present, the groundwater should be temporarily lowered to at least 1.0 m below the excavation level by
pumping from closely spaced vacuum well points or eductors. Dilatancy can also be minimized, but not
completely prevented, by immediately covering the base of the excavation with a well graded granular working
mat and keeping vibrations (including foot traffic) to a minimum.
8.5 Earth Pressure on Shoring
Recommended apparent earth pressure distributions acting on temporary braced shoring systems for shallow
trenches are provided on Figures 16 and 17 in Appendix E. These figures apply only to areas where the ground
surface at both sides of the trenches is horizontal. Adjacent to sloping ground, higher K values or equivalent
surcharge loads must be used and this office should be consulted.
Where permissible under the OHSA and where the use of tight sheeting or sheet piling has not been specified,
contractors may elect to utilize trench boxes for temporary trench support.
While the use of trench boxes often results in high productivity, their use also results in increased loss of ground
relative to other shoring methods, particularly when working near granular base courses below existing
Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation -
Proposed Pickering Design Centre Development

21
pavements or alongside existing utility backfill. Trench boxes also reduce the contractor’s ability to compact
backfill materials placed between the trench wall and outer trench box shell, thereby increasing the likelihood of
post construction surface settlements along the trench. If settlements along the utility trenches is a concern, then
the utility trenches could be backfilled either with self-compacting high-performance bedding (HPB) material or
non-shrink grout.
8.6 Lateral Earth Pressure
The lateral earth pressure acting on the permanent rigid walls extending to below the ground surface can be
computed using the following equation:
pz = K (γz+q)
where pz = unit earth pressure at depth z (kN/m2)
K = coefficient of lateral earth pressure = 0.5
γ = unit weight of soil = 21.5 kN/m3
z = depth below a horizontal ground surface (m)
q = unit surcharge load at ground surface (kN/m2)
If the walls extend to below the groundwater table and a perimeter and subfloor drainage system is not installed,
then the hydrostatic water pressure must be added to the earth pressure. In this case, however, in the earth
pressure calculations, the unit weight of the soil below the water level should be taken as the submerged unit
weight (11.7 kN/m3).
8.7 Permanent Drainage and Subfloor Drainage System
Perimeter drainage is required to remove any water that may be accumulated at the exterior foundation walls.
To prevent occasional build-up of water adjacent to the basement walls, it would be prudent to incorporate an
exterior vertical drainage sheet attached to the backside of the basement wall connected to frost free outlets
inside the building. The exterior drainage should consist of Amerdrain 500, Terradrain 600 or equivalent covering
the entire basement wall to reduce the risk of water penetration.
The drain panels should be hydraulically connected to a perforated drain pipe installed around the bottom of the
perimeter of the basement wall, at a level of 300 mm below the underside of the base floor slab. The drain pipe
should be surrounded by a 150-mm thick layer of 19 mm clear crushed stone that is fully wrapped with a non-
woven geotextile filter fabric, having a filtration opening size (F.O.S.) of 60 microns or less.
If the lowermost floor slab extends to below the permanent groundwater table and is not designed to resist uplift
pressure, then a subfloor drainage system must be constructed. This could consist of a 200 mm thick layer of
19mm size clear stone. Below the clear stone, a non-woven geotextile filter fabric having a F.O.S. of 60 microns
should be placed as separator between the subgrade and the clear stone. This filter fabric should be overlapped
with the filter fabric used as a separator for the perimeter drainage system.
Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation -
Proposed Pickering Design Centre Development
Pickering Parkway and Notion Road, Pickering, Ontario BRM-00229573-C0
22
The subfloor and perimeter drainage system should not be hydraulically connected. The adjacent filter fabric
sheets should be overlapped by not less than 400 mm.
The water collected by the perimeter drain pipes should be channeled into a sump from where the water shall be
removed by gravity (if feasible) or by pumping. For the design of the sump and pump, the rate of groundwater
flow into the drainage system should be assessed at the time of construction.
8.8 Floor Slab Construction
The floor slab for the houses on preloaded soils may be constructed as a slab-on-grade on a properly prepared
subgrade (i.e. on native undisturbed soils or engineered fill). In this regard, all unsuitable material should be
removed from the entire underfloor area and the exposed subgrade must be thoroughly proofrolled. Any soft
spots detected should be sub-excavated and the area brought up to design grades using approved clean fill in
the manner described in Section 7.2.2.1 of this report. If the houses will be supported on deep foundations
without soil improvement, then the floor slabs must be constructed as structural floors.
8.9 Sewer and Watermain Support
As a minimum, after soil improvement by preloading, all sewer pipe and watermain bedding must conform to the
applicable City Standard Specifications. Where at subgrade level loose, soft or otherwise unsuitable soils are
present, these or any disturb/remoulded materials should be carefully sub-excavated to or below the surface of
relatively undisturbed native competent soils and the grade brought up to invert level using a U-fill. The
excavation should be carried out carefully so as not to disturb the subgrade soils and induce further decrease in
strength leading to future potential settlement. On top of the U-fill, the City Standard granular bedding can be
used. If poor conditions persisted to an extended depth of excavation (i.e. greater than 1 to 2 m depth), with the
aid of manual probing, Geoweb alternative is recommended.
If no soil improvement will be carried out, the subgrade for the pipes will consist of either fill or soft to very soft
cohesive soils. Neither of these soils are deemed to provide adequate support for the pipes. Consequently, the
pipe should be supported on a Geoweb Pipe Bedding placed on the fill or very soft to soft cohesive soils,
following inspection and approval by a geotechnical engineer. Figure No.6 in Appendix E shows the
recommended Geoweb Pipe Bedding.
As stated in Section 8.4 of this report, no dilatant silts were encountered in the boreholes. However, some of the
silt deposits in presence of water may dilate and expand when excavated and agitated by construction traffic.
Dilatant silts can be recognized from their “liverish”, “jelly-like” appearance. If the pipes are laid on the dilated silt,
it will be recompressed under the weight of the pipe and backfill and large post construction settlements of the
pipe will occur. To maintain excavation stability and to prevent dilatancy, where the dilatant silt is present, the
groundwater should be temporarily lowered in accordance with Section 8.4 of this report. Dilatancy can also be
minimized, but not completely prevented, by immediately covering the base of the excavation with a well graded
granular working mat and keeping vibrations (including foot traffic) to a minimum.

8.10 Monitoring and Further Investigation
It is imperative that monitoring by means of settlement plates be carried out during and after placement of the
selected preload. The risers of the existing piezometers (if these are operative) should be extended to above the
proposed preload grade to enable monitoring of the groundwater level changes.
After removing the preload, the improved subsurface conditions should be confirmed by drilling confirmatory
boreholes and field testing. Based on the results, the recommendations contained in this report should be
revisited and modified, if necessary.
Monitoring during and after the construction of the buildings by frequent leveling tied into any benchmark outside
of the property that is considered stable (either existing or established for this purpose exclusively) should also
be carried out.
The monitoring data should be reviewed and evaluated by a geotechnical engineer to confirm that the measured
settlements are consistent with those predicted.
8.11 Internal Roadways
The pavement structure design should meet the minimum local design criterion. The recommended pavement
structures provided in Table 4 are based upon an estimate of the subgrade soil properties determined from
visual examination and textural classification of the soil samples and should be considered as minimum. A
functional design life of eight to ten years has been used to establish the pavement recommendations. This
represents the number of years to the first rehabilitation, assuming regular maintenance is carried out.

The foregoing design assumes construction is carried out during dry periods and the subgrade is stable under
the load of construction equipment. If construction is carried out during wet weather and heaving or rolling of
the subgrade is experienced, additional thickness of subbase course material may be required.

The long-term performance of the pavement structure is highly dependent upon the subgrade support
conditions. Stringent construction control procedures should be maintained to ensure uniform subgrade
moisture and density conditions are achieved. In addition, the need for adequate drainage cannot be over-
emphasized. The finished pavement surface and underlying subgrade should be free of depressions and
should be sloped to provide effective surface drainage toward catch basins. Surface water should not be
allowed to pond adjacent to the outside edges of pavement areas.
Additional comments on the construction of parking areas and driveways are as follows:
1. Perimeter subdrains should be provided around parking areas and along roadways. Subdrains extending
from and between catch basins should also be installed.
2. To minimize problems of differential movement between the pavement and catch basins/manholes due to
frost action, backfill around these structures should consist of free-draining granular material. The
granular material should be compacted to 98% SPMDD with a smaller tamper to avoid damaging the
structures.
3. The most severe loading conditions on light-duty pavement areas and the subgrade may occur during
construction. Consequently, special provisions such as restricted lanes, half-loads during paving, etc. may
be required, especially if construction is carried out during unfavorable weather.

Appendix B Notes on Soil Description
Notes On Sample Descriptions
1. All sample descriptions included in this report follow the Canadian Foundations Engineering Manual soil
classification system. This system follows the standard proposed by the International Society for Soil
Mechanics and Foundation Engineering. Laboratory grain size analyses provided by exp also follow the same
system. Different classification systems may be used by others; one such system is the Unified Soil
Classification. Please note that, with the exception of those samples where a grain size analysis has been
made, all samples are classified visually. Visual classification is not sufficiently accurate to provide exact grain
sizing or precise differentiation between size classification systems.

2. Fill: Where fill is designated on the borehole log it is defined as indicated by the sample recovered during the
boring process. The reader is cautioned that fills are heterogeneous in nature and variable in density or
degree of compaction. The borehole description may therefore not be applicable as a general description of
site fill materials. All fills should be expected to contain obstruction such as wood, large concrete pieces or
subsurface basements, floors, tanks, etc., none of these may have been encountered in the boreholes. Since
boreholes cannot accurately define the contents of the fill, test pits are recommended to provide
supplementary information. Despite the use of test pits, the heterogeneous nature of fill will leave some
ambiguity as to the exact composition of the fill. Most fills contain pockets, seams, or layers of organically
contaminated soil. This organic material can result in the generation of methane gas and/or significant
ongoing and future settlements. Fill at this site may have been monitored for the presence of methane gas
and, if so, the results are given on the borehole logs. The monitoring process does not indicate the volume of
gas that can be potentially generated nor does it pinpoint the source of the gas. These readings are to advise
of the presence of gas only, and a detailed study is recommended for sites where any explosive gas/methane
is detected. Some fill material may be contaminated by toxic/hazardous waste that renders it unacceptable for
deposition in any but designated land fill sites; unless specifically stated the fill on this site has not been tested
for contaminants that may be considered toxic or hazardous. This testing and a potential hazard study can be
undertaken if requested. In most residential/commercial areas undergoing reconstruction, buried oil tanks are
common and are generally not detected in a conventional geotechnical site investigation.
3. Till: The term till on the borehole logs indicates that the material originates from a geological process
associated with glaciation. Because of this geological process the till must be considered heterogeneous in
composition and as such may contain pockets and/or seams of material such as sand, gravel, silt or clay. Till
often contains cobbles (60 to 200 mm) or boulders (over 200 mm). Contractors may therefore encounter
cobbles and boulders during excavation, even if they are not indicated by the borings. It should be
appreciated that normal sampling equipment cannot differentiate the size or type of any obstruction. Because
of the horizontal and vertical variability of till, the sample description may be applicable to a very limited zone;
caution is therefore essential when dealing with sensitive excavations or dewatering programs in till materials.
