Geotechnical Conditions Sample Clauses
The Geotechnical Conditions clause defines the responsibilities and procedures related to the physical characteristics of the ground at a construction site. It typically outlines how information about soil, rock, groundwater, and other subsurface conditions is provided to the contractor, and may specify what happens if actual site conditions differ from those described in pre-contract documents. For example, if unexpected soil instability is encountered, the clause may detail how additional costs or delays are handled. Its core function is to allocate risk and clarify the process for addressing unforeseen subsurface issues, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring project continuity.
Geotechnical Conditions. A Geotechnical Report is given in the Annexures. The geological unit through which the proposed pipeline runs is that of the Katberg Formation, belonging to the Tarkastad Subgroup, of the greater Karoo Supergroup. The Katberg Formation forms part of the Tarkastad Subgroup of the Beaufort Group belonging to the greater Karoo Basin. The Tarkastad Subgroup is characterized by a greater abundance of both sandstone and red mudstone than the Adelaide Subgroup. The boundary between these subgroups is the only line that can be traced with certainty throughout the Karoo Basin. The Katberg Formation is known to be sandstone rich and constitutes over 90% of the Formations makeup in cases where the Katberg Formation is found in coastal localities near East London. However, inland exposures have a more equal division of sandstone and mudstone. In the North, the mudstone becomes excessive and difficulty in distinguishing it from the Burgersdorp Formation may occur. The Katberg is just over 900m thick in most cases. Sandstones of the Katberg Formation are fine to medium grained with scattered pebbles up to 150mm in diameter, (common in coastal exposures). Generally, the rocks are light brown to grey or greenish grey in colour with strong horizontal laminations, parting lineations, trough cross bedding and planar cross bedding characteristics. Oval shaped calcareous concretions between 30 and 100mm in diameter are common with a preferred orientation in a parallel direction to the palaeoslope present at deposition. Post depositional dolerite intrusions are present as well. The dolerite intrusions may occur as either, horizontal ▇▇▇▇▇ and lenses or vertical ▇▇▇▇▇ which cut through the sedimentary layers. Furthermore, the vertical ▇▇▇▇▇ cut through the horizontal ▇▇▇▇▇.
Geotechnical Conditions. On or before the Contingency Date, Developer’s obtaining, at Developer’s sole cost and expense, a written report from a qualified geotechnical engineer regarding the existing soil, subsoil, high water ▇▇▇▇, and other applicable topographical conditions at the Property that is satisfactory to Developer in all respects for the construction and operation of Developer’s intended improvements.
Geotechnical Conditions. ` ` A geotechnical investigation has not been performed previously. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to perform geotechnical studies of the various installation sites.
Geotechnical Conditions. Engineered and approved design for structural foundations of the vessel upgrade required at CV, including consideration of geotechnical conditions, are provided as part of the drawings for that work. Geotechnical reports and recommendations for any structural foundations beyond that work shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Sound Emissions. Any new equipment beyond that required under article 1.3 that is provided and operated by the Contractor shall be designed to minimize sound emissions, including the use of low-speed fans, sound- attenuated louvers, high-efficiency enclosure construction and hospital- grade muffler for genset as applicable.
