PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION FOUNDATION NOTES:

1. Excavations for foundations shall be carried out

by mechanical means, except for the last
200mm of excavation,which is to be carried out by
manual methods.
2. Assumed safe bearing pressure below pad and
strip foundations is 500 kn/m2 at the depth shown
on the drawings,should a suitable bearing layer not
be found at the depth shown the excavation shall be
continued down to a depth deemed suitable by the
engineer.
3. Back filling of the excavations shall be with
approved granular material, shown on the drawings.
4. Formation levels of foundations shall be
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 determined by the engineer based upon existing
road levels, water table level, Services requirements,
30200 and shall be subject to a minimum depth as shown
3900 1200 4000 4000 4000 4000 4000 1200 4000 on this drawing. Should the formation levels of two

A C1 C1 C1 C1 C1 A concrete grade 10/20 (i.e. the area shall be
