Abstract

To establish the geological structure of the field and taking of representative samples of soil and rock materials
for determining the physical and mechanical characteristics, detailed engineering geological mapping was
performed of the terrain along the route of the pipeline and locations of water intakes, surge tank and
powerhouse.
The morphology of this region shows a complex condition which is caused by the mutual influence of tectonic,
neotectonic and contemporary processes.
Field investigations included the following studies:
• engineering-geological mapping of the terrain;
• construction of investigation wells;
• mapping the material from exploration works;
• selecting of the uninterrupted and disturbed samples of soil materials as well as solid pieces of rock;
On the researched area for small hydropower station - "Kadina" is performed 16 investigations wells. For
determining the physical and mechanical characteristics of represented materials was performed laboratory
tests.
From the data obtained by measuring the structural elements of fissure systems is calculated quality of the
rock mass (RQD).
Based on the research made an assessment of the conditions for excavation of terrain and also made a
calculation of the permitted loads of ground facilities of minimum depths.
Keywords: engineering geological mapping, investigation wells, RQD parameter, physical and mechanical
characteristics
