EPC Standard Clauses: Site Conditions

Description

This Skill Bit shows, that in an EPC contract, the contractor often excludes or limits responsibility for certain site conditions beyond their control. These include below-ground risks, pre-existing soil contamination, unidentified site services, climatological factors, and environmental hazards unless specifically noted. The contractor is typically not accountable for unforeseen conditions or external factors, safeguarding against liabilities arising from uncontrollable circumstances. This approach helps mitigate risks and ensures clarity in delineating responsibilities within the contract framework.
