Common use of Material Storage Clause in Contracts

Material Storage. The Contractor shall store all items so that no damage occurs whilst awaiting installation. Where practical, items are to be stored in lockable containers for protection from the weather and pilferage. All piping, pipe fittings and equipment stored outside or awaiting installation are to be protected from the weather, stormwater and soil wash and stored on pre-prepared surfaces. Pipes taken over from the Employer shall receive the required attention in order to ensure safe storage in yards, protected from fires, vandalism and incidental damage that can reasonably be prevented.
