    The document summarizes a soil investigation for a proposed 12-story residential tower block in Malabe, Sri Lanka. Borehole BH-05 was drilled to a depth of 9 meters using a rotary drilling method with a 54mm diameter core barrel. The soil profile consisted of fill sand and clay to a depth of 3 meters underlain by sandy clay to 7.5 meters. Weathered rock was encountered at 7.5 meters underlain by slightly weathered biotite gneiss bedrock from 8 meters to total depth. Groundwater was encountered at 1.5 meters depth.
