Soil investigation reports present the field data and technical analysis of the results of
the soil investigation at the site "Offshore Ground Investigation for Sengkang LNG
Export Terminal" with contract number 011-208/009/PTSI-PPK/GIW-XI-2012 is based
on PT. SLIPFORM INDONESIA demand. Where our Geotechnical Investigation Team
Leader by Andi Haikal, ST has investigated the soil in the form of Core Drill test as many
as 7 (seven) points on the 22 December to 15 January 2013 and laboratory testing on soil
samples obtained from the drillings. The locations of the investigated points are shown at
Appendix A.
I. 2 LOCATION OF SOIL INVESTIGATION
Soil investigation is located in the Langkenna District Village, Keera, Wajo Regency,
Sengkang, South Sulawesi about 200 km to the north-east from Makassar, the capital city
of South Sulawesi Province. The project site can be reached by about six-hour car driving
from Makassar. The location of the project site is as shown in Figure 1.

I.3 PURPOSE OF THE INVESTIGATION

The purpose of the investigation of the soil (Soil Investigation) is to conduct a


feasibility study of the early stages of preliminary studies and engineering 'Offshore
Ground Investigation for Sengkang LNG Export Terminal ".
The objectives of the investigation are:
a. To get an idea of the stratigraphy or basic soil profile at the site level plans “Offshore
Ground Investigation for Sengkang LNG Export Terminal".
b. Obtain an overview of the physical, mechanical and engineering as well as
characteristics of the soil material based on laboratory and field tests.
c. Make recommendations for the purpose of foundation design so that it can be
implemented safely and economically.

II. DESCRIPTION LAND INQUIRY

II.1 METHOD OF INQUIRY LAND

a. Core Drilling
Core drilling (core drilling) is done in order to get below the surface of the ground
state of the nature engineering, derived from visual descriptions and laboratories
(classification of rock / soil). Drilling carried out using rotary drilling machine (rotary
drilling) brands YBM type B1. The drill used is BX-size core barrel size. Drilling is done
by the system "Coring / Washing". Core sampling soil stratigraphy in accordance with the
progress / progress of drilling.

b. Soil Sampling
Taking undisturbed sample is intended to obtain a relatively original soil samples (in-
situ). Samples were taken with a thin tube, which is pressed on the desired depth of the
soil with tools used, the soil. Examples are drawn immediate "sealing" with paraffin on
both ends and immediately sent to the laboratory.
c. Laboratory
Laboratory experiment conducted primarily to determine the index properties and
engineering properties, in order to obtain soil parameters used in the design of foundation
construction (look at the table 2 summary labs).

III.1 GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF SENGKANG AND SURROUNDING AREAS

Based on the data and information Geological Map, where the site is area, Deposits of
alluvium, swamps and beaches: Gravel, sand, clays, mud and limestone, coral, formed in the
environment of rivers, marshes, beaches and deltas. Around 1900, Bulukumba and s. Otters
mainly consist of sedimentary aluviumnya rocks rombakan gung battang Lompo Mountain fire;

IV.2 PLANNED CONSTRUCTION
According to the information an LNG terminal including its related facilities will be
constructed within the investigated site is "Offshore Ground Investigation for Sengkang
LNG Export Terminal"

IV.3 ELECTION STUDY FOUNDATION

Construction on the segment with Steel Pile, pile where the position of sitting on the
dock elevation assumes: - 15,00 meters. Structures with loads of foundation in hard soil sits
on the most secure to the decline, earthquake forces and so on, which can be the foundation of
the Steel-pile or bore-pile.

V. RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the investigation of the soil in the field and the result of the above discussion
and analysis, for Offshore Ground Investigation for Sengkang LNG Export Terminal, given
the following recommendations:
1. Estimate using the Steel Pile where the position of sitting on the dock elevation
assumes: - 15,00 meter
2. bore pile foundation alternative uses
So The Final recommend is expected to assist in the implementation
