1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
This report presents the outcome of the site investigation carried out for the proposed
construction site of Interchange Bridge at Pan Borneo Highway.

1.2 COMPANY PROFILE

G3C Group was first established with the incorporation of G3 Earthworks & Building
Contractors Sdn Bhd on 14 January 1981 and subsequently changed its name to G3
Berhad (“G3B”). G3CB was listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange and was one of
the FBM100 Component Stocks before the G3B Group undertook an internal
reorganisation in year 2013. Following the successful internal reorganisation of G3 Group
on 8 July 2013, G3B had transferred its listing status on the Kuala Lumpur Stock
Exchange to G3 Holdings Berhad (“G3H”) (Company No. 930464-M). Consequently, the
G3 Group’s various business operations have now come under G3H.

G3H is an investment holding company with an investment in two main subsidiaries,

G3B and G3 Land Sdn Bhd which are primarily involved in engineering and construction,
property development and investment & management activities.

has grown to the size, scope and strength it has today and in the process, evolved into a
global brand, recognised for its ability to deliver world-class quality. Over the years, the
company has grown to be one of Malaysia’s leading engineering & construction
companies and property developers.
 G3's scope of engineering and construction expertise covers F1 racing circuits, airports,
dam and water supply scheme, expressways and highways, civil works, rail-based
infrastructure works and specialised buildings such as shopping complexes, hospitals and

1.6 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

Investigation of the underground conditions at a site is prerequisite to the economical

design of the substructure elements. It is also necessary to obtain sufficient information
for feasibility and economic studies for any project.

In general, the purpose of this site investigation was to provide the following:

1- Information to determine the type of foundation required (shallow or deep).

2- Information to allow the geotechnical consultant to make a recommendation on the

allowable bearing capacity of the soil.

3- Sufficient data/ laboratory tests to make settlement and swelling predictions.

4- Location of the groundwater level.

5- Information so that the identification and solution of excavation problems can be

made.

This was accomplished through the close cooperation of G3s geotechnical engineer
and the technical staff of its Geotechnical Department.
2. SITE CONDITIONS

2.1 DESCRIPTION

The site is located in Jalan Pan Borneo at the location of the recently demolished
slaughter house. It is bordered by roads from north, south and east as shown on the
attached Figure.1

No high voltage, electrical or telephone poles, sewer or water pipes were observed
within the depth of the drilled boreholes.

2.2 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS

The study area on the date of field investigation consisted of different elevations with
approximate difference between the higher and lower elevations of about 7-8m.
However, the formation within the depths of the drilled boreholes consists mostly of
creamy, hard to medium hard formation of marlstone to the full depth of exploration
covered by different depth fills.

The drilled boreholes for this study reflect the described above general conditions.
They are discussed in more detail in the subsequent sections of this report. Borehole
logs with description of soil and rock formations are attached in the Appendix.

2.3 GROUNDWATER AND CAVITIES

Ground water was not encountered within the depths of the drilled boreholes and no
ground water table was observed. No cavities or other kind of weaknesses were
noticed within the drilled depths of boreholes.
3. FIELD EXPLORATION AND TESTING

3.1 DRILLING

Upon the Client’s request, the site investigation program included the exploration of
site subsurface conditions at the construction area through the drilling of two
boreholes: to a depth of 33.0 m and 39.0 m below the existing ground level.

Drilling has been carried out utilizing a truck-mounted drilling rig (Mobile Drill B-31)
with the possibility of continuous sampling at different depths and at each litho
logical change of the strata.

3.2 SAMPLING

Two types of samples were collected:

a) Disturbed samples suitable for identification and index property testing

purposes at various depths.

b) Undisturbed rock samples for strength tests.

Representative samples were placed in sealed plastic bags and transported to

the laboratory for further testing.

In our opinion the obtained samples were of good quality.
