Question

I don't know whether you'll be able to help me but I'm just trying to get an idea of where to start.

I've attached a bore log.

For an approx. 22m high wind turbine that weighs approx. 30 tonnes. Would a shallow or deep foundation be required?

Is there a way for me to find the soil bearing capacity based on this information? Or know the amount of piles that would be used in the case of a deep foundation?

Thanks
