UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES Clause Samples

The 'Underground Structures' clause defines the responsibilities and procedures related to the identification, protection, and management of existing underground utilities or structures during a construction project. It typically requires the contractor to investigate and verify the location of underground pipes, cables, or other installations before commencing excavation or related work, and to take necessary precautions to avoid damage. This clause helps prevent costly accidents, service disruptions, and liability issues by ensuring that all parties are aware of and address the risks associated with hidden underground infrastructure.
