    This document outlines the procedure for conducting a Mackintosh probe test to determine the bearing pressure of subsoil. It assigns responsibilities to supervisors to ensure tests are conducted properly. Safety precautions like protective equipment must be followed, and barriers erected to cordon off the work area. The test involves driving a steel cone attached to extension rods into the ground vertically using a hammer, recording the number of blows needed for 300mm of penetration up to 15m deep or 400 blows.

    METHOD STATEMENT FOR MACKINTOSH PROBE TEST

    1. OBJECTIVES
    To establish a procedure for determining the Bearing Pressure for the sub soil.

    2. SCOPE
    Mackintosh Probe Test is used for preliminary subsurface investigation as a tool to
    supplement more elaborate soil investigation.

    3. INSTRUMENTS
    - Harden Steel Pointer, 25mm dia. with 30° cone
    - Rods, 12mm dia. & 1200mm long
    - 22mm dia. couplings
    - 5kg hammer weight
    - Wrenches

    4. RESPONSIBILITY
    - Foreman is responsible to the supervision of the operation to ensure that the test
    carried out is comply to the reference specification and standard.
    - The draft report of Mackintosh Probe Test must be attached with boring log and shall be
    approved by geologist.

    5. SAFETY REGULATIONS
    - Safety procedures must be strictly followed as to avoid any danger to the workers and
    environment such as safety boots, jackets, gloves and safety helmet if necessary.
    - All site equipment must be handled with care by personnel operating the test at site.

    6. ENVIRONMENT
    - Barrier and signboards or means for roping off affected operations area shall be placed.
    - All operations must be stopped if rain or thunderstorm struck the operation area.

    7. PROCEDURE
    - Vertically erect the probing rig to drive and guide the extension rods and cone in as near
    a vertical direction as practicable. The maximum acceptable deviation from the vertical
    at the ground surface when setting up the cone and lowermost extension rod shall be
    2%. Guide the cone an extension rods at the beginning of the test.
    - Ensure the connections between the cone and lowermost extension rods, between the
    successive rods, and between the uppermost rod and the driving device are made tight.
    When removing the driving device, ensure that the extension rods are not turned.
    - Mark 300mm interval on the rods.
    - Lower the pick-up assembly so as to avoid significant impact on the hammer. Raise the
    hammer slowly to ensure that the inertia of the hammer does not carry it above the
    defined height on the driving device.
    - Drive continuously as far as this is practicable. Record the number of blows for each
    300mm increment of penetration which is about 15m or 400 blows/300mm, whichever
    achieved first as directed by consulting engineer.
