INTRODUCTION
BUA Inetrnational Ltd. Intends to build in the city of Port Hartcourt a new sugar storage facility Sugar Dome and in its vecinity a new Sugar Refinery Building. The Sugar Dome will have a circular shape, being approximately 55m in diameter and with a storage capacity of 63,000 tons. The Sugar Building will have a shape of 45.50m x 32.00m and will be located ca. 100m southeast of the Sugar Dome. According to the ground conditions encountered and the results of the geotechnical parameters obtained for the construction, a deep pile foundation CFA (Continuous Flight Auger) piles - was identified by the consultant of the site owner to be the most suitable solution. For the Sugar Dome, a total of 285 Nos CFA piles and for the Sugar Building a total of 105 piles 780 mm diameter and up to 22m in length are to be installed during the main piling operations on the BUA Sugar Dome site in Port Hartcourt. All bored piles on this project will be installed using CFA piling technique according to design requirements. The CFA piles will be constructed according to the European Standard EN 1536:2010 - Bored Piles and the JBF standard works procedure for CFA pile installation During piling work a Nos of 9 CFA piles have been installed 2 m above the scheduled pile toe at -22m below existing ground level. This amendment to the site owners geotechnical design deals with the necessary additional verification for axial pile capacity.

GROUND CONDITIONS The ground appears to be even terrain with an average elevation of about +11.200 m LCD (Lagos Chart Datum). The main reference datum for construction (Plant) has been laid down with 0.00 m = +11.272 m LCD. The piling platform level (PPL) was set at +0.60 m over Plant level (0.00 m). Soil conditions typically encountered on site (BH 04, BH 05 and BH 08, see section 2(6), consist of of TOPSOIL over sandy CLAY (firm, brownish grey, lateritic sandy clay). Underneath the clay, a medium dense to dense, yellowwish brown SAND has been encountered. A typical layer sequence from the surface down to 30 m below ground level appears to be as follows: 0.00m to 0.75m depth 0.75m to 15.75m TOPSOIL, dark grey silty sand CLAY, soft, brownish/reddish grey, lateritic sandy clay with concretionary gravels SAND, medium dense to dense, yellowish brown becoming light brown, with gravel at depth.

15.75m to 30.00m

According to section 2(6), the ground water level is about -15.00m to -18.50m below existing terrain level (about -3.72 m below LCD to -7.23 m below LCD). The pile base of the single CFA piles is intended to be set into the medium dense to dense sand strata starting approximately at -15.75 m below existing ground level.

In order to accomplish the planned single pile capacity, three additional CFA piles dia. 780mm and to a depth of -20m shall be installed. The additional single piles to be installed namely Pile Nos. P49a, P90a and P129a (see Annex 4.1) shall be assessed with an additional pile capacity of 3x2028 kN = 6084 kN (see Annex 4.2)
