Speakers will explain how FIDIC’s innovative Emerald Book contract for underground work deals with complex technical projects. The difficulty in predicting ground behaviour and foreseeable conditions implies an inherent uncertainty in underground construction, which gives rise to unique contractual risks regarding construction practicability, time and cost. The Emerald Book addresses many of these issues and offers a way forward for contracting on such projects.
