1 INTRODUCTION
PT Adaro Power (“Adaro”) has retained the consortium consisting of ILF Consulting
Engineers (Asia) Ltd. (ILF) and PT Kwarsa Hexagon (KH) (“the Consultant”) with a
letter of appointment on 28th of April 2021 to carry out Consultancy Services for the
development and implementation of the small scale Lampunut Hydropower Plant
(Lampunut HPP) located in Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia.
The main purpose of the project is to supply electric energy to Adaro MetCoal
Handling Processing Plant (CHPP) owned by PT Maruwai Coal. As per today the
Lampunut CHPP is supplied by Diesel generation with 6 units of 2.1 MW. This
Diesel generation should be partially replaced by hydropower generation lowering
energy supply costs for the mining facilities.
For the partial replacement of Diesel Generation it is intended to make use of the
Lampunut River passing through the concession area for the Maruwai Coal mine.
The Consultant has carried out an Alternative Study for the Lampunut HPP and
later for the selected Alternative, a complete Feasibility Study (FS). After approval
of the Feasibility Study, the detailed engineering design and tender documents are
elaborated.
1.1 OBJECTIVES
Within the context of the design works, geological and geotechnical investigations
are performed. The present geotechnical investigations are intended to determine
the geotechnical conditions within the project area as a basis of the design works.
The general objective of this report is to present the slope stability and other
geotechnical conditions at the project sites to allow for adequate project design.
The Lampunut River is a left-hand tributary to the Barito River flowing close to the
camp site from north to south. The Lampunut River has an unexploited reach that
could be used for hydropower generation. This river reach is situated between a u/s
located River Diversion Channel planned for mining purposes and a d/s limit given
by a forestry permit for mining purposes that delimits developing options in a
distance of approximately 2 km south west of the Lampunut Camp site.
2 GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS
2.1 GENERAL
This chapter gives a general overview of the geotechnical conditions at the
Lampunut project works and its vicinity and presented the geotechnical calculations
performed up to date.
More information on geomorphology, slopes and the drainage system of the area
is presented in the Geological Report together with the geological investigations
and laboratory test results.
2.2.2 NSPT
The use of empirical correlation is an effort to maximize test results from the
laboratory and the limited availability of field investigation data (Ameratunga et al.,
2016). The following is a recapitulation of geotechnical parameter interpretation

Table 2-2: Parameter Interpretation from NSPT
The bearing capacity graph based on sondir data shows the distribution of strength
on varied shallow foundations. The carrying capacity values above 6 T/M2 are in
the depth range of 2-6 m. This happens because the consistency value of the
lithology varies. In addition, the depth of rock from the ground surface varies as
well.

The exact definition of the concept of slope safety factor in the finite element method
is stated as follows:
S max
SF =
S needed
Where:
SF Safety factor
S shear strength.
From the formula of SF, it can be explained that the Safety Factor is defined as the
ratio between the actual shear strength and the minimum shear strength required
under balanced conditions.
Based on the Mohr-Coulomb failure condition, furthermore, it can be expressed:
c + tan
SF =
c r + tan r
Analysis Location
1. Initial Phase, at this stage, gravity loading is carried out to determine the initial
loading conditions, namely the soil load of each layer against the gravitational
pressure.
2. Sloping with benching, at this condition the surface layer formed to reduce the
critical slip surface of slope.
From the results of the analysis stability of the slopes, a safety analysis was carried
out using the phi/c reduction method, namely the decrease in the value of the soil
shear strength and the incremental multiplier, namely the gradual addition of
loading until collapse occurs. The output of this analysis is the Safety Factor (∑
Msf), The value of the safety factor in this calculation is 1.173. The required
threshold value is 1.5. So at this stage the slope is considered stable, however
below its necessary safety factor.
Base on output analisys model in initial phase, its known the shear stress occurs at
surface soil layer because lowest shear strength of surface soil layer. The needed
reinforced to improve slope safety factor to met the design criteria of safety factor
(SF=1,5). The shear stress is shown on Figure 5-4 below.
Slope reinforcement analysis was carried out with cutting sloping surface soil
become 1:1.5 and benching 3m every height 5m. Based on analysis the results a
safety factor of SF = 1.5027 which means this protection has met the design criteria
of safety factor (SF = 1.5). The result is shown in Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7: Safety Factor Calculation Result for slopws with benches
Base on output analysis model in sloping with benching, its known the deformed
and benching it can reduce the shear stress occurs at surface soil layer. The shear
stress obtained is shown in Figure 3-8.
Analysis Location
From the results of the analysis stability of the slopes, a safety analysis was carried
out using the phi/c reduction method, namely the decrease in the value of the soil
shear strength and the incremental multiplier, namely the gradual addition of
loading until collapse occurs.
The result of this analysis is the Safety Factor (∑ Msf), The value of the safety factor
in this calculation is 1.2873. The required threshold value is 1.5. So at this stage
the slope is considered not on the safe side.
Base on output analisys model in initial phase, its known the shear stress occurs at
surface soil layer because lowest shear strength of surface soil layer.
The needed reinforced to improve slope safety factor to meet the design criteria of
safety factor (SF=1,5). The shear stress is shown in Figure 3-12.
Slope reinforcement analysis was carried out with cutting sloping surface soil
become 1:1 and benching 3m every height 5m.
Based on analysis the results a safety factor of SF = 1.6084 which means this
protection has met the design criteria of safety factor (SF = 1.5). The result is shown
in Figure 3-13.
Figure 3-14: Safety Factor Calculation Result for Sloping with Beching
Base on output analysis model in sloping with benching, its known the deformed

Analysis Location
From the results of the analysis stability of the slopes, a safety analysis was carried
out using the phi/c reduction method, namely the decrease in the value of the soil
shear strength and the incremental multiplier, namely the gradual addition of

The output of this analysis is the Safety Factor (∑ Msf), The value of the safety
factor in this calculation is 1.2511. The required threshold value is 1.5. So at this
stage the slope is unstable.
Base on output analysis model in initial phase, its known the shear stress occurs at
surface soil layer because lowest shear strength of surface soil layer.
The needed reinforced to improve slope safety factor to meet the design criteria of
safety factor (SF=1,5). The shear stress is shown in Figure 3-19.
Slope reinforcement analysis was carried out with cutting sloping surface soil
become 1:1.5 and benching 3m every height 5m. Based on analysis the results a
safety factor of SF = 1.7634 which means this protection has met the design criteria
of safety factor (SF = 1.5) as shown below.
Figure 3-21: Safety Factor calculation result for slopw with benches
Base on output analysis model in sloping with benching, its known the deformed
and benching it can reduce the shear stress occurs at surface soil layer. The shear
stress is shown in Figure 3-22.
Analysis Location
From the results of the analysis stability of the slopes, a safety analysis was carried
out using the phi/c reduction method, namely the decrease in the value of the soil
shear strength and the incremental multiplier, namely the gradual addition of
loading until collapse occurs.
The output of this analysis is the Safety Factor (∑ Msf), The value of the safety
factor in this calculation is 2.85. The required threshold value is 1.5. So at this stage
the slope is stable.
Base on output analysis model in sloping, its known the deformed and benching it
can reduce the shear stress occurs at surface soil layer. The shear stress is shown
in Figure 3-28.
From the results of the analysis there is a potential for ground movement of 0.41 m.
To determine the stability of the slopes, a safety analysis was carried out using the
phi/c reduction method, namely the decrease in the value of the soil shear strength
and the incremental multiplier, namely the gradual addition of loading until collapse
occurs.
The output of this analysis is the Safety Factor (∑ Msf), the potential for ground
movement |u| under normal conditions the following is the result:
▪ Safety Factor (∑ Msf) 1.698
▪ displacement |u| 0,3704 m
The output of this analysis is the Safety Factor (∑ Msf), the potential for ground
movement |u| under normal conditions and when a collapse occurs the following is
the result:
▪ Safety Factor (∑ Msf) 1,185
▪ Displacement with load 0,0002509 m
▪ Displacement ultimate |u| 5091 m
In this Load Phase, it is known the potential for soil movement and slip planes when
a collapse occurs. There is a maximum ground movement of 0.4869 m. This
potential failure occurs due to the calculation of the safety factor, namely phi/c
reduction in decreasing the shear strength of the soil parameter. The value of the
safety factor in this calculation is 1.185. The required threshold value is 1.5. So at
this stage the slope is unstable.
1. The soil bearing capacity based on the sondir data shows the distribution of
strength on varied shallow foundations. The carrying capacity comes with
values above 6 T/m2 are in the depth range of 2-6 m.
2. The bearing capacity will increase as the NSPT value increases. In the
investigated area, NSPT 60 has been reached at an average depth of 5 m. The
bearing capacity of NSPT 60 is 81.73 T/m2.
3. Based on analysis for initial phase intake, water way and head pond area the
Safety Factor cannot meet the value safety criteria (SF ≥ 1.5) according to the
requirements of SNI : 8640-2017 Persyarataan perancangan geoteknik
