• Never assume that the water, sewer, and drainage lines will go in at the early stages of the project. Consider the site access needs before dividing the site in half with open trenches, loose pipe, and machinery obstructions. Always inspect the site to establish that the site drawings are complete. Check off all existing utilities on your drawings as you locate them. If you find any discrepancies, mark up the site plan for further research. Differing site conditions can be very costly if discovered later in the project.
• See also Section 33 01 00 for restoration of pipe where removal/replacement may be undesirable. Use of new types of piping materials can reduce the overall project cost. Owners/design engineers should consider the installing construction as a valuable source of current information on piping products that could lead to significant utility cost savings.
