1. INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of the Earth Resistivity Tests carried out by AL JAZZAR
(Omar Jazzar Consulting Engineers), Geotechnical & Materials Engineers, for the proposed
construction of 380kV Over Head Transmission Line (OHTL) from Shoaiba-3 S/S to Al-Lith
BSP, K.S.A. The work was authorized by M/s. Saudi Services for Electro Mechanic Works
Company (SSEM) Ltd., Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The field work was conducted at (Tower # 08 to 68) sixty one (61) locations between 27th
September and 13th November 2013.
This report describes the work done and the results obtained at the site of proposed
construction of 380kV Over Head Transmission Line (OHTL) from Shoaiba-3 S/S to Al-Lith
BSP, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

1.1 PURPOSE & SCOPE OF WORK

The

purpose of conducting earth resistivity test for the construction of construction of 380kV
Over Head Transmission Line (OHTL) from Shoaiba-3 S/S to Al-Lith BSP,, K.S.A, is to
evaluate the surface condition and to determine the apparent electrical resistivity values for
use in the design of earthing and grounding system and also for the evaluation of the
corrosion potential on buried pipes as well as concrete in general.

2. PROCEDURE OF TEST

Vertical

electrical sounding were conducted at each test location. The electrical resistivity
was measured by using Wenner Array Method in accordance with ASTM G57-78 and IEEE81 Standards.
Variations in resistivity at depth were obtained by increasing the spacing of the electrodes.
The increased spacing forces the current to flow deeper into the earth in order to complete
the circuit, thereby increasing the depth of penetration. The depth of penetration equals
approximately the electrode spacing a. The electrode spacing used was 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9,
11, 13 & 15 meter along the North-South and the East-West direction at the test location.

SHOAIBA-3 S/S TO AL-LITH BSP, UNDER SEC- WOA CONTRACT # 31131150/00, K.S.A

2.1 INSTRUMENTATION

The

instrument is battery powered with an output voltage up to 90 volts which is called


Meggar. The current output range of the transmitter is up to 150 milli amperes. The Receiver
unit has a range of 1 to 4,000 milli volts. 12 volt rechargeable battery supplies initial power
for the instrument.
The battery can be recharged by plugging to the external cord to 120 volts 50/60 cycle AC
battery condition which can be determined by the current reading on the front panel or
pressing the Battery Check push button.
The instrument is supplied with four (4) pieces of steel electrodes and cable reel assembly.
The longer cables are meant for connection to current (outer) electrodes to the transmitter
unit and the short cables are meant for connection to potential (inner) electrodes to the
receiver.
When current is passed to the ground from the transmitter, through the two outer electrodes,
theoretical equi-potential current flow lines are developed by induction around each
electrode. Consequently, a potential difference is developed between the inner (potential)
electrodes.
Potential difference between the potential electrodes can be read from the receiver unit while
the value of current that give rise to the potential difference can be read from the transmitter
unit.

2.2 DATA ANALYSIS

The

apparent resistivity of the ground between the inner electrodes is given by the formula.

where,

Pa

KR = 2 aR

Pa

Apparent resistivity in ohm-meter (or V/I)

geometric factor, equals 2 a

apparent resistance of the ground between two


inner electrodes.

electrode spacing in meter.

3. RESULTS OF ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY MEASUREMENTS

The

test results are shown in Table 1.1 to 1.61. The Table 2 & 3 given at the end of this
report shall be used for comparing the resistivity values obtained from the different test done
as per the different test directions as well as with the changes of soil strata. The maximum
and minimum values of the resistivity tests for the test location shows that the corrosivity
obtained from the test results ranges from 0.3 ohm-meter to 3698.1 ohm-meter indicates
very severe to very mild corrosivity of the soil.

4. GENERAL COMMENTS

The

interpretation of resistivity values should be done carefully as the same type of soil/rock
can show different values at different moisture contents and depending on degree of
weathering. Hence, the information on local geological conditions and experience of the
geologist will lead to the conclusions during interpretations. However, the values obtained at
tests should not be referred directly on the figures given in the tables 2 & 3. It is a guide for
comparison only.
The measured resistivity will be dependent on the degree of compaction/relative density,
moisture content, type of soil/rock, layering of soil strata, rock fissures, cavities, presence of
foreign matter, temperature and so on.
