Client: Malta Freeport Corporation

iAS has prepared a geotechnical desk study of previous site investigations carried out within the Freeport area.  Borehole records and laboratory test results from the various investigations conducted since inception of the current terminal were analysed with the purpose of creating a conceptual ground model for the proposed extensions.  This model was used to design a site investigation to BS 5930 within seabed sediments and rock formations, specific to the project area. iAS prepared specifications for further borehole drilling, in-situ testing, retrieval of disturbed and undisturbed samples, and for laboratory testing to BS1377 and Eurocode 7. The ground model was also used to develop scheme proposals for the quay structures.
