An unlisted soil or a slope beyond the table is a reason to resolve the design, not to improvise another row.

The table note directs retaining walls in accordance with H1D3(2) where the embankment slope is steeper than the table or the soil is not described. H1D3(2) identifies an AS 4678 route. Other lawful compliance approaches may be available, but this module does not select one or reproduce a referenced Standard.

A useful query states the actual uncertainty: “The proposed fill note uses the cut ratio. Please confirm the applicable soil information, fill geometry, support requirements and surface-water arrangement before affected work proceeds.” Include current drawing references and the responsible respondent.

Safety is a separate decision

An NCC dimension is not a trench-entry instruction. Excavation stability, services, temporary works and safe access need their own controls. Do not use this lesson to decide whether anyone can enter or work beside an excavation.
