**Geotechnical Soil Sampling Report**

**Project Name:** Field Boring Log

**Location:** Texas

**Date:** 2025-12-15

**1. Executive Summary:**

This report presents the findings of the geotechnical soil sampling investigation carried out at the designated site in Texas. The objective of the study was to analyze the soil profile and its geotechnical properties, which will inform the foundation design of future engineering projects at this location.

**2. Project Information:**

The drilling project, named "Field Boring Log", commenced on 15th December 2025. The project involved the extraction and analysis of soil samples at different depths. The soil samples were examined for various characteristics such as type, color, moisture content, and consistency.

**3. Sampling Methodology:**

The soil samples were extracted by drilling boreholes at specified depths. The samples were retained for analysis, following which the physical properties of the samples were determined, including soil type, color, consistency, and moisture content.

**4. Detailed Soil Profile:**

*Sample 1*
- Depth: 15 feet
- Soil Type: Clay

*Sample 2*
- Depth: 25 feet
- Soil Type: Clay
- Color: Black
- Moisture Content: Not recorded
- Consistency: Hard
- Sampled At: 2025-12-15 05:19

*Sample 3*
- Depth: 28 feet
- Soil Type: Clay
- Color: Brown
- Moisture Content: Not recorded
- Consistency: Hard
- Sampled At: 2026-01-03 18:09

*Sample 4*
- Depth: 35 feet
- Soil Type: Clay
- Color: Brown
- Moisture Content: Not recorded
- Consistency: Soft
- Sampled At: 2026-04-19 20:15

**5. Soil Classification and Characteristics:**

All the samples extracted from the site were of the clay type, with colors ranging from brown to black. The consistency of the soil was either soft or hard, with only one sample having a recorded moisture content of 20%.

**6. Observations and Findings:**

The soil profile at the location is dominated by clay soil. The consistency of the soil varied with depth, which may be an important factor in determining the suitability of the ground for construction. The variation in color, from brown to black, indicates changes in organic content and oxidation levels.

**7. Recommendations:**

Further tests, including Atterberg limits and compaction tests, are recommended to more accurately assess the soil's mechanical properties. Furthermore, if construction is planned, foundation design should consider the varying consistency of the clay layer. A deep foundation type may be more suitable given the depth at which more competent (hard) layers are found.
