1. INTRODUCTION
InWesternAustraliarock quarries are an essential source of
roadbuildingmaterialsincluding sealing and concrete aggregate, road
baseand rockarmour.
Material supply is normally by contract from privatelyownedquarries or
from sitesownedornominatedby theDepartment. With regard to
Departmental sitesanumberof activities including a materials
investigation,aboriginal siteclearance, landacquisition, the drawing
up ofspecifications,etc,mustbecarriedout before tenders can be
called and contractslet. The overall programisdirected and
co-ordinatedby thePrincipal Engineer concerned. This reportdetailsthe materialsinvestigationaspect of theprogramwhich is co-ordinated
by the Materials Engineer and onlyrefersto other activitieswherethey
mustbe completed before materialsworkcan proceed.
The establishment and working of a quarry is an expensive undertaking and
thedepartmenthas aresponsibilityto ensure thatsites i tselectsare
suitablefortheir intended use. For this reason new quarry sitesare
onlyto be selected, and old quarry sitesonly extended afteran
investigationhas proved suitablerock isavailable. This investigation
will involve co-operationbetweendepartmental engineers, testing
personnel, geologists and drilling crews. This report provides
guidelinesas to the responsibilitiesof the variousofficersinvolved,
the procedure to be followed in theselection and assessmentof quarry
sites, and the preparation of materials information for presentation to
tenderers.
The guidelines arebasedon those described in an earlier draftreport
(MED Report84/35M) buthave beenupdatedto incorporatechanges
suggested by divisional and other staff involved in quarry
investigations.
2. INVESTIGATIONPLANNING
To facilitate the co-ordination of quarry site investigations, Divisional
Engineers should forwarddetailsoftheir likely quarry requirements
4.

basedontheir current FiveYearPlanning Strategyto theappropriate
Principal Engineer withacopyto theMaterials Engineer. TheMaterials
Engineer shouldbeinformed of anyrequirementsnotspecifiedin the
annualupdateassoonas theneedbecomes known. Requirements intended
tobe met bypurchasefromprivatelyowned andoperated quarries should
notbeincluded.
Thefollowing information shouldbeprovided:
(a) Alistof the number ofquarries requiredandgeneral proposed
areasoflocation, i fany.
(b) Thelocationof anyexisting potentially suitable quarries.
(c) Thelocationofproposedworksinwhichquarried materialis to be
usedand the programmeddatefortheworks.
(d) Proposeduse ofmaterial.
(e) Quantitiesofmaterials foreachuse.
(f) Suggestedspecification forthematerial, i fany.
(g) Theproposed dateforcallingoftenders.
(h) Anyspecial requirements.
On thebasisofthisinformationtheMaterials Engineer will planand
co-ordinate quarry site investigations includingliaison with divisional
staff,geologists,drillers andtesting staff.
Planning will include provisionof a 5year strategyandschedulesfor
individual quarry investigations. Planningfor individualinvestigations
will generallybe inaccordancewiththecritical pathmethodnetwork
shown inAppendixA. Schedulesof theplannedinvestigationswillbe
forwardedto thedrillers (EngBridgeDesign)theGeologistand the
appropriate Divisional Engineers for approval andaction.

Notethat theCRMnetworkincludes activities suchasaboriginal site
surveysandenvironmental assessments. Theseactivitiesare usually best
carriedout atthesametimeasthe materials investigation,however,it
isnotthe functionofthe MaterialsEngineertoco-ordinate suchwork
which remainsthe responsibilityoftheDivisional Engineer.
It shouldbenotedthataleadtimeof atleast sixmonthsis requiredto
completeaninvestigation. Inthecaseofaggregatefor concretethe
leadtimeshouldbeincreasedto atleast12monthstoallow for alkali
reactivityandmortarbar testing. Theseleadtimesmayrequire
considerable extension i f land acquisionproblemsareencountered.
3. PRELIMINARYSURVEY (MRDSTAFF)
The Divisional Engineershould initiateapreliminarysurveyofpossible
quarry sites inaccordancewith theplannedinvestigationschedule using
Divisional Laboratory Staff.
In the executionofthissurveylaboratory staff should:
(a) Obtain copiesof
relevantmaps andphotographs,eg.
. topographicalmaps
. geologicalmaps
. soilmaps
. airphotographs
(b) Establish landownershipdetailsincluding freehold pastoraland
mineral leasesortenements,reserves etc (refertoHeadOffice
ReservesOfficer fort i t l e searchatLands&Titles Officer,
TenementOfficer,Mines Department,etc).
(c) Notify landowner,tenants etc officiallyofintentof MRD to
searchontheirland. (NoticeofEntry).
(d) Complywith all statutoryanddepartmental requirementsin regard
to aboriginal, archeologicalandother prescribed sites(see
OperationsBranchCircularsNos 39 and 59) andcarryoutsurveysto
locatesuch sites.

4. GEOLOGICALINVESTIGATION
Thegeological investigation shouldbecarriedout by aqualifiedand
experiencedGeologistat theinstigationof theMaterialsEngineer. This
function will usuallybeundertakenbystaffof theGeological Surveyof
WesternAustraliaonbehalfof the MRD, althoughConsulting Geologists
may beused. Divisional laboratory staffanddrillingcrews should
assisttheGeologistand workunderhis directionasrequired. The
investigation should generallybecarriedout inaccordancewiththe
relevant sectionsof AS 1725 SAASite InvestigationCode andNAASRA
(1982)guidelinesandshould includethefollowing:
4.1 Preliminary Investigation

intensivesubsurface investigation should becarried out. This
phaseof theworkmay be eliminated in the case of an extension of
anexistingquarry. Notethat requirements with regard to
aboriginal,archeological and other prescribedsitesmustbe
complied with at al l times and formal clearancesmustbe obtained
beforemoredetailed investigationscommence.
The investigation should initially bebasedon geologicalmapsand
on the information supplied by the preliminary Departmental survey
whichshould beexaminedand confirmed.
A reconnaisance survey should becarriedout and surface
outcropping and exposuresin road cuttings,excavations etc shouldbeexamined. Consideration should be given to access in both wet
and dryconditions,and environmental factors.
Excavation of exploratory trenches and the use of geophysical
methodssuch as siesmic surveys may be undertaken atthis time
provided al l relevant clearanceshave beenobtained.
Testingofsamplescollectedshould becarriedout. Usually
testing for LA Abrasion is the best indicatorof rock suitability.
Howeversurfacesamplesmay be considerablysofterormore
weatheredthan subsurface material.
The geologist should select potentially suitable siteson the basis
ofthissurvey,drawup site investigationplans for the direction
of the drillersand assign apriorityto the detailed investigation
ofeach site.
4.2 Detailed Investigation
Detailed investigationsshould becarriedout sequentially at
preferred sitebasedon the preliminaryinvestigation until a
suitable site is confirmed.
The aim ofthis investigation is toestablishthe quality and
quantityof rockavailable,to assess itssuitability to f u l f i l the

Samplesfortestingare to be obtainedfrom drill cores in
preference to blasted rockfragmentsunless the Geologist considers
the latterto be representative of the bulk of the source rock.
Testing is to be carriedout on the horizons or core sections
requested by the Geologist. Coresshould preferably be out inhalf
parallel to the long core axis and halftested and halfretained
for future record.
