Underground Damage Clause Samples
The Underground Damage clause defines the responsibilities and procedures related to damage caused to underground utilities or structures during construction or excavation activities. Typically, it requires the contractor to take reasonable steps to identify and avoid existing underground installations, such as water pipes, electrical cables, or gas lines, and to promptly report any accidental damage. This clause helps allocate risk and liability for such incidents, ensuring that any necessary repairs are addressed quickly and that costs are assigned appropriately, thereby minimizing project delays and disputes.
