Summary of geotechnical model and associated design parameters for the lower pile below O-Cell*

Reduced level (RL, m AHD)		Materials	Estimated UCS: MPa	Estimated f_s: kPa	Adopted f_s: kPa	Estimated E_v: MPa
−79.44	−82.10	Highly weathered, CONGLOMERATE (low strength)	2.20	445	325	220.0
−82.10	−84.85	Slightly weathered, CONGLOMERATE (high to very high strength)	20.00	1342	850	6000.0

Notes:

*The estimated ultimate end bearing pressure, f_b = 1500 kPa and a reduction factor of 0.8 was applied to this estimated value to consider 80% of partial completion of base cleanness
