GROUND MATERIAL Clause Samples
The "Ground Material" clause defines the type and quality of soil or material present at a construction site that will be encountered during excavation or foundation work. It typically specifies the expected characteristics of the ground, such as whether it is rock, clay, sand, or fill, and may outline procedures for dealing with unexpected or hazardous materials. This clause helps allocate risk and responsibility between the parties by clarifying what ground conditions are assumed in the contract, thereby reducing disputes and unforeseen costs related to site conditions.
