Bureau of Soils and Water Management(BSWM)

Good day! 

My name is Mich. Me and my groupmates are humbly requesting few information that can help us to finish our Design Project. We are from Technological Insitute of the Philippines. :)

We need the following for our geotechnical investigation report:
- Borehole Log
- Soil Properties (unit weight, soil type)
- Allowable Bearing (Capacity Load)

We understand that some info might not be available so we are hoping any information that we can get. We don't have specific date as well but the recent one would be helpful. 

Thank you so much!! Have a great day ahead. :)

Best,
Mich Santos
