Overview
This First Edition of the “Conditions of Contract for Underground Works” (Emerald Book) is published by the Fédération Internationale des Ingénieurs-Conseils (FIDIC) in a joint endeavour with the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association (ITA-AITES).
Based on the enquiries on international best practice in contracting of tunnelling and underground construction works conducted by the ITA-AITES during the last fifteen years and on the ITA-AITES Report 006 (“The ITA Contractual Framework Checklist for Subsurface Construction Contracts”, April 2011), these General Conditions of Contract have been specifically drafted by a joint FIDIC – ITA Task Group for use in underground works. Their use may also be appropriate in other types of works that include a significant geotechnical uncertainty.
On Friday 28 August, BTSYM and TAIym will host Matthias Neuenschwander (http://www.neu-ce.ch), one of the industry leaders in dispute avoidance and resolution, for an introduction to the FIDIC Emerald Book.
