$1\mathrm{.}1$ Part A: Report $($written assessment component$)1\mathrm{.}1$ Part A: Report $($written assessment component$)$

Perform a geological investigation plan $($desktop study$)$ for this proposed road.

Submit a report to present all your findings. The report must, at a minum, cover the

following aspects:

A signed declaration that you have performed the work on your own. A zero

mark will be awarded to all projects that do not include this signed declaration

Introduction

Site description

Climatic $($Weinert area$)$ and topographic data

Proposal on the field work that will need to be undertaken

Proposal on laboratory testing that will need to be undertaken

Occupational health and safety $($OHS$)$: A brief description of how you will

ensure that all field and laboratory work that will be carried out will comply to

currently applicable OHS legislation. List the relevant sections of legislation.

Description of the hydrology along the alignment. Identify areas where bridges

or major culverts may be required Comprehensive identification of the geology along the alignment of the road

$($rock and soil types, differences in geology along the proposed alignment

$($zoning$)$

Observations: Identify possible problem soils and list measures that can be

implemented in the design of the road to address the problem soils

Observations: Your expectations on the excavation conditions along the route,

the erodibility of materials, foundation conditions, groundwater and drainage

conditions

Identification of possible borrow$/$quarry areas for sourcing road construction

materials $($gravels for granular pavement layers and aggregates for asphalt

production or seal construction$).$ Therefore, investigte the various landforms

along the project alignment and discuss where you would expect to find

suitable materials

Consider the vertical and horizontal alignment of the road. A low mountain

pass will need to be constructed. Recommend investigations that will need to

be undertaken for slope stability etc.

You do not need to include a detailed environmental impact assessment, but

you must consider how road construction and quarrying will impact the

environment and what impact assessments will need to be carried out by a

qualified environmental consultant. List the relevant sections of legislation.

Conclusions and recommendations

All sources must be properly referenced

The proposed horizontal alignment of a planned new road $($R$576-2)$ is displayed in

Figure $1$ below. The coordinates for some positions along the road alignment is

displayed in Table $1.$
