Based on the analysis the following recommendations are made.
Pile foundation is suggested for the foundation system of plant.
The pile foundation is suggested. The length of pile is from bottom level of raft foundation. The type of pile is frictional pile .The pile capacity of pile of different diameter is shown below:
Spacing of pile foundation is considered as three times diameter of pile to achieve the full capacity of pile as per IS 2911.
Bearing capacity for Air blower foundation at different size is as below:

Please ignore the foundation at filling area which is 1.5m depth from existing ground level.
Undrained cohesion is 48kn/m2 at 6m whereas it 53.92kn/m2 at 18 depth.
22 Compensated load is not considered in the analysis for evaluation of bearing capacity of soil.
Compression index Cc value of soil is taken from laboratory test result as 0.248.
The void ratio of soil is considered as 2.25.
The settlement is calculated considered the load provided which is within the limit value of 100mm
The specific gravity of soil are within the range of 2.21 to 2.56. As per literature (Typical-values-of-specific-gravity-Bowles-2012) specific gravity of organic soil is within 1 to 2.6 presented below:
The Organic matter of soil is 3.3 to 11.63%.
The subgrade modulus of soil (pile foundation) is tabulated below.
Recommended modulus of subgrade reaction of sand as per IS 2911
Subgrade Reaction for Cohesive Soil as per IS 2911
