1. Introduction
Dubai Municipality awarded the consultancy services to Italconsult for Project DS 208-
Interconnecting Urgent Development’s to DM Sewerage System with commencement date
March 11, 2020
Dubai Municipality has assigned ITALCONSULT to carry out all activities of detailed design
and supervision of the new link sewers for two separate catchments as Deira catchment and
Bur Dubai catchment. These new link sewers shall be designed to collect sewers directly as
needed as long as design criteria are met. The existing DM design criteria and new design
criteria adopted for the deep tunnel sewer system will be shared with ITALCONSULT for
references in designing the link sewers.
2. Brief Description of Work

Link Sewer Serving PS-Q Catchment

With reference to DS 215 design, the link sewer serving PS Q catchments starts from the
existing subsidiary pumping station SPS G30 located at Al Qusais Ind Third (C 246) with a
diameter of 250mm and a depth of -4.79m then runs into 7th Street for 500m. The said Link
sewer crosses Damascus Street to Al Qusais Ind Fourth (C247) to eliminate SPS Q1 where its
diameter becomes 350mm then runs south eastern through Damascus street towards Amman
Street for 400m, then turns left to Amman street and runs through it approximately 600m
with the same diameter up to the interaction of Amman/ Beirut Streets. At this location, the
link sewer merges with the 700mm proposed connection pipeline of Al Qusais Qasis
development (Wasal) located in Al Qusais Ind Fifth (C267). The combined pipeline has a
diameter of 700mm and runs southerly through Beirut Street for approximately 1,000 m up to
the intersection of Beirut/ Halab Streets where it merges with two branched sewer pipelines
of 600mm and 350mm coming from Muhaisanah Fifth & Forth and Al Qusais Ind Second
respectively. The combined pipelined has a diameter of 800mm for approximately of 1,100m
up to drop shaft of PS Q. The total length of main link sewer is 3,950m while the total length
of the branched sewer links are 5,270 m.
Link Sewer Serving PS-Sn Catchment

With Reference to DS 215 design, the link sewer serving PS Sn catchments (SNLS) starts
from Al Khaleej Road near port Rashid where the flows from the under-construction
developments: Dubai Maritime City (DMC) and Port Rashid Development, shall be received
into the first SNLS’s manhole of an invert level of 7.22m. Starting from that manhole, the
SNLS runs southeastern through Sheikh Rashid Road with a diameter of 900mm and
approximately 1,000m length up to the intersection with road number 36 Street (Al Jafiliya)
then it turns southwestern through road 36 Street and continue for approximately 820m with
the same previous diameter till Mohammed Bin Rashid Model School where it receives the
flow from the inlet manhole of SPS S23N. From last mentioned manhole, SNLS continually
runs through 36 Street for approximately 1,070m with a 1,300mm diameter up to Sheikh Zaid
Road where it merges with another link sewer of 400mm diameter which proposed to
decommission of SPS Z1 located at Al Kifaf Community (C 324). The SNLS after that
mergence and with a diameter of 1,300mm, crosses Sheikh Zaid Road at a level of -9.5m and
continues for of 410m along with Sheikh Zaid road where it receives the flow from SPS-E20
and then continues through the 2nd Zabeel Road with a diameter of 1,400mm for 420m then
runs through Al Saada Street for a distance of 3,235m then through Financial Center Road for
3,745m with a diameter of 1,400mm and 2,200mm diameter crossly the Creek to the drop
shaft of PS Sn..

2.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed Dubai Strategic Tunnel project comprises of the design, development and
construction of sewerage tunnels, link sewers, pumping stations and sewerage treatment plants.
The project will support Dubai’s strategic long term master plan and cover the key catchments of
Deira and Bur Dubai.
The combined length of the tunnels is more than 70 km and is supported by approximately 140 kms
of link sewers and key pumping stations. When completed, the project will eliminate over 100 pump
stations around the city that currently transfer sewerage to the treatment plant, in Al Warsan and
Jabal Ali.

The key drivers for the project are the reduction of life cycle cost of treating sewerage in the
Emirate, the reduction of carbon emissions through use of gravity system, the reduction in the
power demand, and accommodate the planned population growth of Dubai. The Figure-1 shows
the overall layout of the project site, whereas Figure-2 below shows the test location along bur
dubai link sewer.
Figure 1: Overall lay out of project site

Figure 2: Layout showing test locations along Bur Dubai Tunnel
A general site plan showing the project layout and the locations of the boreholes is presented in
Appendix A.
General site photographs are also presented below showing the general nature of the site and
ground conditions:

Figure 3: General Photos of the Site
3.0 PREVAILING WEATHER CONDITIONS
The site is situated in Dubai where a hot arid climate prevails. A hot arid climate is one where
evaporation exceeds precipitation - such as rain, snow and dewfall. This climate regime produces
characteristic hot desert terrains. Average annual rainfall may only be a few centimeters (even only
a few millimeters in some parts) which usually occurs seasonally and sometimes only from a single
cloudburst. Summer shade temperatures are frequently in excess 40°C and humidity may be
around 100% near the coast. The contrast between maximum night and day temperatures and
between night and day humidity is often great. Strong persistent winds are normal in many areas.
This unfavorable climate imposes adverse conditions on the concrete structures, such as:
1. High temperature and high seasonal changes.

2. High humidity and high change in relative humidity.
3. Strong drying winds.
4. Condensation at night.
5. Windborne salt-laden dust.
6. High solar radiation.
4.0 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The following descriptions on the geology are based on the available publications from the ministry
of energy, UAE, various sources on the internet and the field studies carried out during the
investigation.
The write-up is based on the available literature and the site investigation data.
The ancient shallow sea, ‘The Tethys’, once covering the whole region of UAE, rose and fell,
influenced by major world climatic changes, and deposited sediments for at least 500 million years
(from Cambrian age onwards). The layers of rocks, at places several kilometers thick, were thus
formed in pockets of this ancient sea-bed. In general, in UAE the Palaeozoic basement rocks are
overlain by the Mesozoic to tertiary sedimentary rocks, and later overlain by the volcanics and the
continental shelf sediments.

Cutting deep into the sedimentary series, erosion has exposed the deformed and thrusted ancient
and volcanic rocks which are well exposed with in the NNE – SSW trending Hajar Mountains of
Eastern UAE and the Musandam peninsula of northern Oman. The dubai area is mostly occupied
by the Tertiary rocks which were deposited in a shallow shelf platform environment.
The processes of decomposition created hydrocarbon (oil and gas) reserves in the Tertiary
sediments, which provide the means for the present day man to transform the modern landscape.
Earth movements folded and tilted these once horizontal layers during the mid-Tertiary, creating in
the process scenic mountains such as Jebel Hafeet. This, and several other outcrops, including
Jebel Howayyah (popularly known as ‘Fossil Valley’, near Al Ain) have been formed by erosion of
an arched fold of sedimentary rocks.
During late Cretaceous period Great pressures were clearly involved in the process of obduction of
the ophiolites (dated 90 – 95 Ma), which thrusted over the Permean to Cretaceous sedimentary
sequences. Thus was formed the fore land depositional basin called the Aruma basin in which the
the rocks of mid to upper Tertiary and Quaternary age were deposited, which are seen as the
weakly consolidated/ lithified and weathered arenites- sandstones, argillites- siltstones and rudites-
conglomerate group of rocks in the main land Dubai area. The provenance/ source area for the
conglomerates are the Hajar Mountains.
Deep seated evaporates / Palaeo evaporites are geologically older deposits noticed at different
depths as interbeds (0.5 – 5 m thickness). The upsurges of the Cambrian salt deposits from
beneath (as deep as 6000 m) the Permian limestone layers: under extreme pressure, caused by
overlying rocks, squeezed them up towards the surface through weakness planes or cracks,
dragging with them rocks from deep within the crust, sometimes from 6,000 meters down. When
the salt rock pierces the surface, it is quite rapidly eroded, depositing the boulders and debris it has
brought up with it. Current examples of this phenomenon are seen at Jebel Dhanna, Sir Bani Yas,
Das, Zirku and on several other islands in the Arabian Gulf.
Recent Sabkah are evaporates deposited in geologically recent times (< 1 Ma) which are being
identified on the surface or shallow depths. These are noticed in the main land and coastal belts of
Dubai also.
The recent deposits consisting of silty, fine sand and clays in local pockets noticed in Dubai area
are mostly related to the deposits of the sea migrations/ eustatic changes, deserts and the
weathered products of the weak tertiary rocks. These vary in thickness from about 6 to 13 m in the
main land and coastal areas respectively. The bed rock in Dubai area is marked by deeply
weathered/ destructured sandstones and gravelly beds close to the eastern hill ranges.
Local Engineering Geological setup:
The Dubai area is covered with middle to upper Tertiary Group of Rocks overlain by the recent
soils/ desert sands. These sedimentary rocks were deposited in a shelf/ platform depositional
environment, very similar to the present day depositional environment, in the gulf. The stratigraphic
units exposed/ met-with in the bore holes in the Dubai area are given in below table.

The overburden material in Dubai area consists of Aeolian sands, recent sediments with shells,
beach sands and the recent sabkah. The thickness of the material varies from 1-8m, in southern
parts of Dubai, and up to +/- 17m towards the coastal reaches. The overburden material is classed
in to sub units and characterized as follows:
Unit I-a: Aeolian and beach sand/soil cover:
The Aeolian sand are noticed in the in-land desert areas of southern Dubai. The sand is dark
brownish colored, medium to fine grained, loose to Medium Dense (N < 6-25). The Aeolian sands
close to the coast line are light colored, may be due to enrichment with carbonates and salts.
The raised beach deposits of calcareous Oolitic sand are fine to very fine grained with some
amount of silt and lots of shell fragments. Locally, they form fringing sandpits, shoals and small
islands. The islands and shoals form shallow lagoons and marshy lands near Jebel Ali coasts.
Unit I-b: Recent Sediments:
Thick deposits of recent marine sediments are noticed under the very recent soil covers in the
northern to north western parts of Dubai. The sediments are dark grey colored, silty fine sand, with
intermittent interlayers of gravely silty sand are noticed. Loose to Medium Dense (N6-25) with
occasional fine gravels and many sea shells. These sediments are expected to be deposited
during the inundations due to regional sea level/ eustatic changes, during the late Tertiary
glaciations in the area (<2 Ma). A good reach of these sediments are noticed in the bore holes
drilled for the Metro Green Rail Line in northern Dubai.
Unit I-c: Recent Sabkah (inland and coastal):
Very high ambient temperatures accelerate the rate of evaporation of surface water and near
surface moisture, which activates the process of capillary action. The saline water from depth is
drawn up to the surface by the capillary action. The saline water from depth is drawn up to the
surface by the capillary action, which evaporates to leave behind the salt in the soil. The tidal back
waters collected in the flats stagnate and later evaporates to leave back the salt/ sabkah deposits
on the surface. The sabkah derived on the surface are relatively uniformly thick beds than those
derived from capillary actions. The porosity and permeability of the soil mass influences the height
of capillary rise, which is recorded up to 3 m above water table around Dubai (Fooks et al. 1985).
These sabkah are found along the coasts and inland also. Based on the environment of deposition,
three types of sabkah are noticed i. Inland, ii. Coastal and iii. River-lacustrine sabkah.
The inland sabkah are deposited in the inter-dune areas/ macro basins in the deserts. The coastal
sabkah are those deposited close to the coast line (marine) and those deposited in association with
rivers, streams and drainage systems (fluvial environment) are called river-lacustrine sabkah. All
the three types are found in Dubai. The inland and fluvial sabkah are noticed in the southern parts
– in the deserts – and the fairly thick coastal sabkah are noticed close to the Northwestern
coastline of Dubai. The three types of sabkah have common characteristics, i.e. these are
restricted to hot and arid environment and are very close to the local water table.
Under the effects of weathering, these salts/ sabkah undergo physical and chemical break down/
alterations. The physical breakdown leads to crystal growths, hydration and volumetric expansions
under fluctuating ambient temperature and ground water table. The common types of salts noticed
in soil are Chloride (Cl), Sulphate (So4), Carbonate (CO3) and Nitrates of Sodium (Na), Potassium
(k) and Calcium (Ca). the deposition of salts/ evaporates takes place under a set of process of
chemical reactions and precipitates in a set order – gypsum (CaSO4 – 2H2O) – Anhydrite (CaSO4)
– Sodium Chloride or Halite (NaCl). The severity of evaporates depends on the type of salts

present in the soil. The effectiveness of weathering of these salts depends on their chemical
composition and properties like their solubility and growing tendency of the crystals. The most
aggressive compositions are the Na and Mg sulphate, which can form hydrates when in contact
with water, resulting in large volume changes. The salts create a hard impermeable crust below the
ground surface, which is detrimental to the growth of vegetation, and sub-surface drainages,
causing floods and accelerating erosion in the area during rains.
Figure 4: Typical section showing geological units

The 0.5-5 m thick inland sabkah are noticed at shallow depths of < 1-4 m on the southern and
western parts of Dubai (Arabian Canal, Jabel Ali Airport project, etc.). Interbeds of 0.5 to 18 m
thickness of gypsum are noticed at various depths. The 150 m deep bore holes drilled at Anara
Tower and Jumeirah Garden city projects located close to the coastal belt, have revealed thick
gypsum/ sabkah deposits with interbeds of siltstone, below a depth of 95 m {El. (-) 95 m}.
The presence of high percentages of Cl and So4 in the soils, rocks and ground water are corrosive
to steel and concrete. The corrosion in steel increases the volume, which is
detrimental to concrete. The Chlorides and Sulphates in the aggregates need to be avoided or
determined through tests for an effective design of the concrete mix. The construction of structures
in the coastal belt and islands are exposed to am borne chlorites and saline ground water, which
have a corrosive effect on the reinforcements and concrete. The problems of aggressive ground
conditions need to be understood well for effective designs.
Unit II- Rudite Group of Rocks (Conglomerate/Sedimentary Breccia):

These are dark coloured (shades of red and brown), spotted rocks (studded with gravels), noticed
as thick beds/ interbeds of varying thickness in the arenaceous (sandstone) and argillaceous
(siltstone) units/ groups. The interbeds are discontinuous/ lensoidal in their spatial disposition. The
matrix / binding material is dark to light coloured, fine calcareous sand and silt. The clasts/ gravels
are fine to medium size, sub-angular to sub-round. Angular, fine to medium gravels/ clasts are
noticed, which lead to the nomenclature of the rock as breccia (sedimentary).

Figure 5: Conglomerate/ Breccia (split core) Figure 6: Calcirudite / Carbonate Breccia
The clasts (gravel):matrix (binding material) ratio varies from 10:90 to 40:60 (approx). The gravels
are mostly of basic/ igneous/ ophiolite suit of rocks, deep brown sand stone, siltstone,
besides minor amount of chert / flint, etc. Based on the percentage of clasts/ gravels, following
classification is used for the description of gravelly arenaceous and argillaceous rocks (Unit III&IV).
i. Gravelly Arenites/ sandstones or argillites/ siltstones - Gravels <10 %

ii. Conglomeratic arenites /sandstone or argillites / siltstones- Gravels 10-25 %
The Rudaceous rocks, in general, are called Conglomerate/ Calcareous Conglomerate/

sedimentary Breccia with >25 % of clasts or Gravels/ pebbles with a sand or silty matrix (fig. 5).
Based on the CaCO3 percentage, the Rudaceous rocks are classed as-
i. Calcareous conglomerate/ breccias with < 50 % carbonate (fig. conglomerate breccia ).

ii. Calcirudite/ carbonate conglomerate/ Breccia with >50% carbonate (fig. 6)
In general, the rocks are unweathered (class A), dense/ massive, with high specific gravity. The
rocks are noticed locally to be of destructured weathering (class D) along the contacts with other
litho units, at depths of >30 m also, which is due to compositional variations in the rock material
resulting in faster chemical decompositions in the presence of ground water. Locally, classifications
(modifications to Clarke & Walker classification, 1976), like carbonate breccias/ conglomerate can
be used for the rocks with >90 % carbonate and angular gravels/fragments. Thick beds of
conglomerate (+3.5m) are noticed at shallow depths of 8-9 m in the southern part of Dubai (Arabian
Canal project).
Unit III- Arenite Group of Rocks (sandstones):
In Dubai area, the Calcareous sandstones/ Arenites are noticed predominantly below a depth of
0.5-17 m under the over-burden material- (sand/ aeolian sand/ beach sand and silt with fragments
of rock, sea shells and planktonic material etc). The arenites are noticed between El. +60 and (-)
32.00 m with varying thickness of 12 to 35 m. These are noticed as interbeds of 0.5-1.5 m
thickness at varying depths, in the Argillites/ siltstone unit. The sandstones are more gravely
towards the main land, indicating closer to the shallower depositional basin margin. The Arenite
group of rocks/ sandstones is thicker towards the coast. The bedrock/ insitu rock profile in the area
is distinctly marked/ noticed by the destructured sandstones (class D sandstones), underlying the
overburden material.

Figure 7: Gravelly/ pebbly Calcareous

Sandstone/ Breccia (split core) Figure 8: Conglomeratic Calcareous
sandstone (split core)
These are light to medium coloured (shades of brown, yellow and grey) medium to fine grained
rocks with varying percentages of carbonate content. The group includes
i. Calcareous sandstones with < 50% CaCO3

ii. Calcarenite with >50 % CaCO3
The variation in carbonate percentage is mostly due to post depositional enrichments through
diagenetic processes during lithification. Since, no set layering of calcareous sandstones and
calcarenites (> 50% CaCO3) is noticed; it could not be relegated to any control of the provenance/
source area of the sediments. The cementing material is fine sand to silt, which could be micritic/
oozes with fragmented bio-clasts. The rock mass has certain percentage of fine gravels/ clasts of
sandstone, siltstone and basic rocks. The gravels are sub-angular to sub-round. Locally, rocks with
angular fine gravels/ clasts are identified as sedimentary Breccia.
Gritty sandstones with fine to medium size gravels/ angular fragments are noticed as interbeds
within the sandstone.
Based on the percentage of gravels (by visual estimation) the sandstones can be described as:
• Gravely/ pebbly, Calcareous sandstone or siltstone - Gravels <10% (fig-9)

• Conglomeratic Calcareous Sandstone- Gravels 10 - 25% (fig. 9).
The petrographic /microscopic study (fig.9) of the calcareous sandstones reveals very fine grained
micritic ground mass (fig.9.c) with predominantly these sedimentary structures and
bioclasts/shells (foraminifera) and fine calcareous sand. The shells at times have ferruginous
coatings (fig.9.b). The bioclasts are of oval to elliptical to irregular shapes and at times fragmented
(fig.9.a). The Clast-matrix ratio varies between 10:90 (fig.9,c) and 40:60
(fig. 9a & b).
9.(a) 9.(b) 9.(c)

Figure 9: Fine grained calcareous sandstone under microscope

Sedimentary structures like sets of cross-bedding, ripple drift cross laminations, ripple casts are
noticed in the insitu exposures (observed in the excavations of sports city area). The presence of
these sedimentary structures and Rudaceous/ gravelly interbeds indicates a shallow sea
environment, with constantly changing energy conditions of the depositional basin.
Unit IV: Argillite / Lutite Group of Rocks (siltstone/ mudstone/ claystone):
These rocks are not exposed on the surface in Dubai area, but, are the predominant rocks in the
area. These cover about 75% of the rocks up to the explored depth of 201m. These are found
underlying the Arenaceous rocks/ sandstones at depths ranging between 12-36 m {El. (-) 10 to (-)
30 m} and up to the drilled depth of 201 m (El.-200 m). By virtue of its regional dip towards N-NW,
the rocks are noticed deeper (beyond 20-25 m) along the coast line. The rocks are light coloured
(with shades of brown, grey and yellow) to mottled, very fine grained (fig. 12) with occasional
clasts/fine gravels of basic/ igneous rocks (amphibolite/ gabbro), siltstone, fine grained sandstone
and chert/ flint, etc. The siltstones are locally interbedded with conglomerates of 0.50-12.0 m
thickness, gypsum beds of 0.50-2.5 m thickness and, occasionally, with thin beds of calcareous
sandstone at varying levels. The interbeds are discontinuous/ lensoidal in their spatial disposition.
These are carbonate dominated rocks. Based on the predominance of Carbonates, the Argillites/
Lutite are classed as:
i. Calcareous siltstone/ Lutite-<50% CO3

ii. Calcisiltite/ Calcilutite - >50% CO3
Figure 10: Calcareous Siltstones (split core) Figure 11: Calcisiltite (split core)
Figure 12: Micritic / Calcareous Siltstone/ Calcisiltite, with (a) bio-clasts and (b) calcite needles- under
microscope (10x)

The argillites/ lutites are deposited out of precipitation in a low energy/ quiet environment with
restricted circulation. The presence of pebbles/ fine gravels and conglomerate interbeds indicate
sporadic shallow, high energy environment in the depositional basin. All this indicates a fluctuating
depositional environment of a continental shelf.
The rock mass in general is unweathered to partially weathered (Class A/B) at depths beyond 15-
40 m. Destructured (Class D) rock mass is noticed at different depths, mostly confined to the
lithologic contact zones. The conglomerate inter-beds are seen up to a depth of 100 m (El. - 98 m),
below which predominantly calcareous silt-stone/ calcisiltite, with an inter bed of stiff clay/ siltstone
with High to Very high plasticity (MH - ME), is noticed to an explored depth of 201
m (plate IH). The lutites indicate predominantly a deep sea environment (low energy condition)
where the oozes were deposited under precipitation.
Based on the percentage of gravels (visual assessment) in the rocks, the siltstones are described
and classed as:
 Gravely/ pebbly, Calcareous siltstone or siltstone- Clasts/ Gravels <10% (fig. 13)
 Conglomeratic Calcareous Siltstone or siltstone- Clasts/ Gravels 10 - 25% (fig 14).
Figure 13: Gravelly calcisiltite Figure 14: Conglomeratic Calcisiltite
The calcisiltite is relatively massive than calcareous siltstones due to enrichment with carbonates
during lithification. The rocks, at times, are thinly laminated with light and dark colour bandings. In
general, the rock mass at deeper depths of + 25 m are unweathered to partially weathered (Class
A/B). Inter-beds of 0.1-1 m thickness of destructured weathered (class D) siltstone/ calcareous
siltstone are noticed at varying depths. These are noticed mostly at the contact zones of
conglomerate interbeds. The restructuring in the rock mass is mostly due to the chemical
weathering/ leaching process controlled by ground water movements and the variations in the
lithologic composition.
Class ‘D’ siltstones: Thin interbeds of class ‘D’ siltstone are also noticed at various depths. These
are recovered as brownish silt with occasional fine gravel size siltstone fragments/
pieces. The SPT N in the zone is >50. These zones are identifiable in the boreholes from their %
recoveries, i.e. TCR & SCR. These beds/ layers are mostly confined to the contact
zones with Rudites/ polymictic conglomerate interbeds.

Site Geology
The site has been explored with sixty (60 No.) boreholes. The interpretation of the subsurface
geological condition is based on the information available from the drilled boreholes. The
exploration reveals a 1.50 to 22.00 m thick brownish layer of overburden material consisting of
medium dense to dense silty gravelly fine SAND with interlayers of gravels, which is underlain by
very dense sand (destructed sansdstone/siltstone) layer of 0.16 - 5.31m thickness. In general this
very dense sand layer is underlain by the distinctly to partially weathered Calcarenite/Sandstone of
thickness between 0.73m to 24.62m, which is further underlain by unweathered to partially
weathered conglomerate. The conglomerates are finally underlain by unweathered to partially
weathered Calcisilitite/Siltstone Interbedded with conglomeratic siltstone/conglomerate until the
termination depths of boreholes.
5.0 FIELD WORK
The field works in the investigation campaign consisted of drilling of boreholes and performing
standard penetration testing (SPT) at selected intervals, followed by rotary coring upon reaching
rock head. Soil and rock sampling; besides, ground water measurement and sampling were also
carried out. The details of test methods employed for each above stated field testing are provided

The details of each component of field testing are briefly discussed in the following sections.
5.1 Site Reconnaissance
Based on provided coordinates, initial reconnaissance survey was carried out by ACES surveyors
to understand the feasibility and accessibility at each test locations. Based on the outcome of initial
survey, due to accessibility issues some of the test locations which required relocation from the
original provided coordinates were notified to the Engineer. Accordingly a joint site visit with
Engineer was carried out to relocate this bore holes to mutually agreed safer locations.

5.2 NOC Application
For each borehole location separate NOC application were filled to various authorities such as
RTA, department of irrigation and drainage, DEWA, Etisalat, DU, GHQ, etc , Apart from the above
said agencies, NOC’s were also obtained from local contractors currently working along proposed
tunnel corridor such as AFCON, DUSUP, DOLPHIN energy etc. Since majority of test locations
where coming along the existing utility corridor (RTA Right of way(ROW),accordingly a RTA
approved sub-contractor was also engaged to excavate inspection trial pits.
5.3 Utility Inspection Pit.
As a requirement of obtained NOC’s at each borehole locations an inspection pit was excavated by
RTA approved sub-contractor to a depth of 2.0m below existing ground surface. After excavation of
pits the bottom of pit was further CAT scan to confirm the presence of any underground utilities.
Post excavation of utility pits as a protocol various agencies were invited to inspect/ verify each test
locations. Drilling was commenced after the pits were verified by utility agencies. Figure below
shows typical utility inspection pit excavated for this project.
Figure 15: Utility Inspection Pits
5.4 Drilling of Boreholes
During the period from 09th August 2017 to 15th March 2018, sixty (60 No.) boreholes were drilled at
the specified locations. At each borehole locations, before proceeding with drilling works, an
inspection pits were excavated to confirm absence of any underground utility services. The
following table summarizes the borehole information.

The above coordinates are related to DLTM, whereas elevations are related to DMD (Dubai
municipality datum) .The exact as built coordinates are provided in the Table 3, to meet the site
requirements the location of boreholes were adjusted / shifted with the permission of Engineer. The
locations of the boreholes were set-out by ACES at locations provided by the client and are shown
on the site plan. The borehole logs are presented in Appendix B1.
The borings were advanced by using rotary drilling method with polymer as a drilling fluid.
Temporary steel casing was used to support the borehole sides through the upper soil upto the
depths mentioned in the borehole logs.
General photographs during drilling of boreholes are also presented below:

5.5 Sampling
5.5.1 Undisturbed Sample

Continuous undisturbed samples were obtained using double tube core barrels during drilling in the
rock formation.

Figure 17: Typical photographs of Core samples
5.6 Field Testing in Boreholes
Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) was performed at various depths in the boreholes to assess the
relative densities of the ground materials. The tests were performed in accordance with
BS1377:1990 Part 9 AMD8264-95, “Determination of Penetration Resistance Using Split-Barrel
Sampler (NSPT)”.
The SPT consists of driving a Standard 50mm outside diameter split spoon sampler into soil at the
bottom of a borehole, using repeated blows of a 63.5kg hammer falling through 760mm. The SPT
N value is the number of blows required to achieve a penetration of 300mm, after an initial seating
drive of 150mm.
The test results are shown on the boring logs at the respective test depths. Interpretation of the
SPT test results can be found in the Legend to Boring Logs (Appendix -B1).
The SPT-N value data were also plotted graphically against elevations for all the boreholes in
Figure 18. The relative density classification boundaries are also indicated in the figure below

5.7 In-situ permeability test
In-situ permeability - falling head tests permeability in soil were conducted at selected boreholes as
per project requirements. The details of these tests are discussed as follows:
5.7.1 Falling Head Method
A total of twenty seven (27 No’s.) of falling head permeability tests were conducted in the soil
overburden at boreholes specified by the Engineer. In this test, the pressure in the borehole is
increased by introducing water into it, commonly referred as falling head or inflow test to assess the
permeability of the soil. The test section is saturated prior to commencement of the test and
subsequent monitoring is done at given time intervals with respect to head drop. The tests were
carried out by the falling head method in accordance with BS 5930: 1999, Cl. 25.4.3.
The test depths and obtained results are summarized in the following Table.

5.8 Installation of Standpipe Piezometers
Along Bur Dubai Link Sewer a total of (33 Nos.) 50mm standpipe piezometers were installed in
specified boreholes to monitor the ground water table and collect the groundwater sample for
further testing. The monitoring well was composed of slotted pipes (continuous slots), 50mm
diameter PVC screen (wrapped with geofabric) followed with PVC solid stand pipe. The filter gravel
pack from the bottom extends up to the ground water table, which is followed by 0.50m thick
bentonite pellets, which is further overlain by gravel pack and followed by cement grout until ground
surface. Table 5 below show details of standpipe piezometers. Whereas Figure 21 below shows
typical installation details of standpipe piezometer at borehole BDL-01.

5.9 Site Safety
ACES staffs were fully committed for implementing the Health and Safety measures for all
personnel who were working at this project. Effective methods were adopted to ensure that the
policies and procedures are communicated to, and properly understood by all crew personnel and
followed throughout the operations. The monitoring was controlled by frequent inspection visits of
the safety representative.
5.10 Grouting/Backfilling of Boreholes
Cement – bentonite grout (1:4 by weight) was used as specified to seal the entire depth of all
boreholes except the piezometer boreholes. A tremei pipe was lowered to the bottom of the
borehole, and the grout was mixed and injected using a special grouting pump (Bottom – up
installation) up to the ground surface.
5.11 Site Clean Out
Following completion of the field works, the location of each borehole was cleaned-off bentonite
remains, cuttings and the surface was reinstated with surrounding sand.

7.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
7.1 Ground Materials
The boreholes drilled have indicated general similarities and continuities of the subsurface
materials, in spite of some local variations.
Several generalized profile/cross section was constructed through selected boreholes along the
tunnel alignment and are attached to Appendix B2 and B3. The below profile is illustrative of the
general subsurface ground conditions: The prepared cross section along various strata is made for
illustration purposes and shall not be considered as actual site conditions.
The geologic description of the subsurface materials encountered in the boreholes and the average
approximate elevations at which they are encountered in the different boreholes are presented in
the below table. Classification of the soils and rocks has been conducted according to BS 5930:
1999+A2: 2010. The tables given in the legend to borehole logs in Appendix B1 were used to
describe the relative density/consistency of the respective coarse/ fine grained-soils and strength of
rocks.
